Hearing it’s Fickell’s job if he wants it. Bob Stoops is the back up plan.
I think I’d go after Sciano.
I believe that a lot of USC folk think it’s the kind of program that should be able to attract the next Saban, Dabo, or Kelly (ie a Lincoln Riley or a Ryan Day) but it just isn’t. It’s in the wrong conference and at the end of the day doesn’t have the culture and will not provide the consistent support.
I’ll stop short of saying it’s a crap job but it isn’t the kind of job that going to attract the proven top middle age HC talent it would need to become a consistent national power.

WTF?
Does it matter anymore about whether a guy spent most of his time in the Midwest or East Coast, versus the West or the South?
Fickell is a good coach, but NO West Coast ties
Thanks for stopping by, Dennis!

It was ESPN Sirius XM so consider the source.I'm sure your sources are tapped-in.
He has shown he can be a HC after his interim year raised some doubts at tOSU.
He'd bring that Urban offensive philosophy (it's all about creating explosive plays) and Urban's recruiting structures.
I think he'd be a great hire who would have a strong working relationship with Bohn.
you laugh but the diehards will believe it is in the realm of possibility to get him or urban or pretty much anyone they want. good luck to them.
If USC wanted to make a splash (and they had a real AD), they would put together a good salary pool, and go after Kliff Kingsbury. He currently makes less than $6 million per year.
But currently has what looks like the 2nd best team in the NFC, and lives in that sweet ass bachelor pad in Phoenix
He good
Yeah, let’s see how the season plays out. He is ready made for LA.
They could have had him 2 years ago if they would have pulled the trigger
2 years ago the country was aghast that AZ would hire a coach that TT was looking to get rid of. Somehow he leveraged his way to where he is….still doesn’t make sense to me. But that dude would be an absolute STAR as a HC at USC, and I bet he knows that. He won’t leave a real winner in AZ, but if things start to look shaky for him, look out. USC will have the whole season to conduct this search. We’ll probably hear 50 different names before it all settles out.

^This. And I do laugh. The only certainty is that they will end up unhappy in 3-5 years. Wash, rinse, repeat. And some schmoe will walk away fired, bewildered, with tons of money in his bank account and a lot of interesting stories.
No tricky Ricky is their guy. Do it USC, please. Just find him a good river, creek, or hell a lake so his hippy ass can play his guitar for you.

The fact that he’s survived this long in the NFL coming directly from TT tells me something about the guy. That doesn’t just happen, and frankly surprised me. Pete Carroll was considered a bad coach when they hired him too.
EDIT: not comparing the two, other than the fact that translating coaching ability between the NFL and CFB is often tricky. There are many crappy NFL coaches that prove out to be amazing CFB coaches. And the fact that KK lasted more than one year in the absolutely brutal world that is being an NFL head coach tells me more about his capability, a lot more than I expected. Watch what happens with Urban this year….it’s not apples to apples.

Two seasons. He’s been in the NFL two seasons and his teams have completely collapsed in both of them. I would love USC hiring him.
Noooooooo!!!!
I-5 corridor
Ha. It occurred to me that we hadn't heard from you yet, and I was coming in to check if you were okay.
Scott Frost "Yeah I declined the offer from USC as head coach. What do they have that we don't have at Nebraska."
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Spent most of the day hangaring planes so I fell asleep early. Woke up to this (un)surprising news. Quite a start to the day.
