On Dan Patrick this morning an USC beat writer on HC Clay Helton, " a mannequin would be better because it would do less damage than Clay Helton.".
When asked who he would have liked,"that is easy, Matt Campbell at Iowa State.Also, he would be cheaper than Urban Meyer".
Pretty sure he did and it went a little something like this:That would require Campbell returning their calls.

This decision will set USC back a few years. Their current recruiting class only has 11 guys and is ranked 70th!!!!!!!! Good luck turning that class around this year and they will be several steps behind the competition for 2021 kids.
I think that coaches like Campbell do not want to go to schools that fire coaches--they appear to want to follow a retirement. I know that Campbell followed a fired coach, but he followed a coach who had been here for a long time.
That's been a sub-topic on many of the sports talking heads...even to the point of saying USC is holding on for another year in order to get Urban Meyer under their wings. Given that you have FSU, Missouri, Arkansas, etc, you figure that the competition will be keen. I think that you will see Missouri go aggressively after a coach in the mind set of Campbell...mid-major...40'ish...successful.Not sure if this has been posted on any articles, but it seems to me that USC is holding back due to the competitive market for coaches this season?
I agree and the coaching carousel gets more absurd every year.I think that coaches like Campbell do not want to go to schools that fire coaches--they appear to want to follow a retirement. I know that Campbell followed a fired coach, but he followed a coach who had been here for a long time.

You think you made it rough for "Santa"? One year my daughter asked the big guy for world peace.This reminds me of the year I asked Santa for a Nintendo. I knew that MF wasn't bringing me one but I still had to ask.
It’s obvious with the Chris Petersen thing and now this that the PAC 12 is in a bad place right now narrative is pretty accurate.
I'm not super tuned in to the Pac...is Petersen pulling a phony retirement like Urban did at Florida?It’s obvious with the Chris Petersen thing and now this that the PAC 12 is in a bad place right now narrative is pretty accurate.
