But, to be honest, I would like it more if Pete Golding got a look or two.

The number of slam dunk hire coaches is very, very small. It's why Saban and Meyer's names always come up, for whatever reason they gave an aura that they were going to be successful anywhere they went early on in their career. Carroll was an interesting case, he was viewed as a head coaching prodigy when he was DC for Coslet but he stumbled early before finding his footing with USC and then Seattle.
Every time one of these high profile jobs open up, people compile these lists of the hot names and the vast majority of these coaches would be better off staying put. Of all the jobs the relative lack of successful coaches is always puzzling. I get why some of these guys have failed, but it seems like it has less obstacles than other programs like Michigan, Notre Dame and Texas might have.

I read that USC has had one top 10 ranked recruiting class in the last decade. Helton has not been a good recruiter. In 2022 they're not in the top 25. Helton might have the skill set to manage USC's football program (the CEO analogy applies) but with the talent gap widening between USC and the rest of the top programs in the PAC-12, he wasn't going to succeed.
Not sure a top name is going to want to jump into a situation like that. UFM is probably the best name on the list that could turn recruiting around in 2y. Fickel? Meh. My son, who follows the NFL closely (not that he likes the NFL, he just likes Fantasy Football) thinks he's going to be available soon.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

I could see the AD wanting to hire Bieniemy. I could also see him not getting past the university administration. I think Wiz is right(and there's something you don't get to say all that often)-- Bieniemy's more likely an NFL head coach next year than the USC head coach.Last edited by JRB; September 14, 2021, 09:43 PM.
