I hear he could win anywhere but the Big Ten.

I don't think the question is so much which coach would USC pursue, as opposed to who is so down-on-their-luck they'd even want the USC job after the hammer comes down limiting scholarships, recruiting visits, bowl appearances or whatever else is included in all of it? If SC saw severe penalties lasting three seasons, the dissertion of both this years and next years recruiting classes, and more, whoever takes the job is simply setting themselves up to be fired when they invariably don't win at the clip PC was.

I think it'd be more appealing to be the guy after the guy after Petey, once all the penalties have been lifted. I'd be really interested to know how severe USC's self-proposed penalties were for football, given the well-travelled rumor the NCAA rejected them.

The Coach after PC has built in excuses and lowered expectations right from the start....PC left the cupboard at least partially bare with the expected defections from the current recruiting class...they lost 4 games last season and their best WR and RB left early for the NFL....PC took some of the best coaches with him...the expected NCAA knuckle rap USC is likely to get (you don't really think they'll hit the football program--which generates huge ratings success for the ESPiN and company-- too hard now that that evil PC has left town, do you?) will hurt recruiting for a couple years....etc. The Coach after PC will be able to demand, what, at least $3M per year and will have at least 2 to 3 years before the heat gets turned up too much. Won't be any shortage of guys willing to be tossed into that briar patch!

Winning with sanctions will be tough on anyone. However, the pressure to win at USC is not comparable IMO to that at an OSU, UM, ND, or Oklahoma.

If USC starts to lose folks just pay more attention to the Lakers and Dodgers or go to the beach. USC "die hards" are easily distracted.
