It's odd that people keep thinking guys that can't win at Southern Cal can win elsewhere.

That hire gives Southern a lot of attention by hiring the former USC coach. It gives him a place to rehab his coaching portfolio. I think it’s a damned good hire for them.

But will he bring in someone to run the option? That's their offense and in the past, coaches who don't run it are run out of town. Just ask Uncle Rico.

From Los Angeles to Statesboro. Wow! That’s like moving from New York to Athens, GA.

Well, my momma died and left me
My poppa died and left me
I ain't good looking, baby
But I'm somewhat sweet and kind

I can't possibly think of two worse places to live for entirely different and yet such similar reasons.

I disagree. I’d much rather live in Statesboro than Los Angeles.

Looks like he has lived in the south his whole life before being hired at USC in 2010, and just about anywhere is an improvement over LA these days.

Well he is from Jacksonville and played at Auburn. So he has some southern roots.

Splashy hire. Surely they must be paying him north of a million. Could work out well. He will probably win and set himself up for a P5 job.

I imagine he was like a fish out of water living in LA.

He also went 3-8.
And was a jackass on top of that.
