I doubt this guy is a candidate, just throwing this out there. He's a great recruiter, especially in SoCal, and has a track record of coaching top flight defensive linemen. And it would hurt USC. He fell victim to Ole Miss's delusions that they are the same as LSU or Bama,

Strenghts: recruiting, developing d-lineman, on staff for several national championship teams at USC and Miami. Obviously knows the pac-12, and has roots in Louisiana (which has helped USC recruit guys like Joe McKnight and John David Booty to USC).
Weaknesses: he's listed as the Defensive Coordinator, but its clear that Monte Kiffin (officially the assistant head coach) is calling the shots, and the defense at USC hasn't been that great lately, despite the talent they have. Didn't win at Ole Miss.
