I totally agree. Deion Sanders?? Is Klatt trying to completely destroy the USC program for all time?The takeaway from Klatt's list is that he should never be in charge of a coaching hire. How do you question someone else's judgment and then put that list together? Sure the "Tier 1" guys are great, but their not realistic. The "Tier 2" is just a joke and should be grounds for a demotion from lead analyst.
Sosna had nothing to do with Colorado and their situation was coaches turning them down, while alumnus and boosters wanted certain individuals and the buffs aren't known for putting up the cash. Similar to USC.Either way we are not Colorado so Bohn and Sosna better get this right as we cannot afford to go through this again with a bad hire. The spotlight is definitely going to be on him when he announces the next head coach!
Fight On!
Sounds like it!I totally agree. Deion Sanders?? Is Klatt trying to completely destroy the USC program for all time?
Sorry, but Joel Klatt has never had an objective mind when it comes to SC. Not to mention that he is not the most informed individual when it comes to college football in general.IMHO Sunday: The decision maker

Biggest decision of his USC career, how about his life.Mike Bohn is an experienced AD.
Bohn has been through the mill and knows what it takes.
USC has a qualified guy at the helm.
Mike realizes that this is the biggest decision of his USC career.
Hopefully he has the support of upper management and boosters.
It will be a team effort.
Of course the spotlight is going to be on Bohn. Joe Brady has not been a head coach and would have to say that the Panthers offense is not lighting up the NFL world yet. Some NFL candidates have been college coaches, so you're right there. Wouldn't go too far listening to Klatt.Great read! I love your excerpt from Klatt and he has valid points pertaining to Bohn. We are SC, so there is no room for do overs. He cannot hire and fire like he did at Colorado. This is going to be a high profile and costly hire. Equate it to the recent Sark hire where Texas boosters unloaded the Brinks truck.
I actually like his thought process realistic or unrealistic. There are going to be college coaching openings, LSU, Miami, Nebraska all fighting for the same coaches. Start with a wish list as the worst they can say is No. Maybe one bites. I also like his thought process of going out and exploring NFL coaches and assistants. Recruiting can be much easier if you can just consistently win, consistently compete for national championships, and have boosters that can provide lucrative NIL deals to players. It is much easier now then the NFL grind. Look to young proven assistants. I like the Joe Brady recommendation rather then the college retread list that is repeated year after year.
Then there is the safe hire based on past relationships. But will Fickell come? This is the same thing Tennessee did with Josh Huepel and Danny White and it is paying off big time. Josh gave Lame all he could handle last night and he was lucky to come out of there with a win and some added golf balls to boot!

I never said that Sosna had anything to do with Bohn’s coaching choices at Colorado and I hope he can guide Bohn in this coaching hire. To my original post it is different thinking. While I don’t see many coaches like Deion being a good fit, I like his thoughts on Dabo. Clemson is truly having a bad year. I watched portions of the Syracuse game and he really looked frustrated. Sometimes you catch a good coach when they are just looking for a change of scenery. There is that probability that he will say no, but you don’t ask you will never know.Klatt should never put a coaching list together ever again

Well then let's get Aranda!Klatt should have pointed out that you can’t compare Colorado and USC. At Colorado, Bohn targeted coaches who did well at a lower level. At USC, he has available a far more accomplished pool of candidates. For instance, would Dave Aranda leave Baylor or Colorado? Doubtful. Would he leave Baylor for USC? In a heartbeat.
I don't if they weren't willing then Helton would still be here with his 15 million buyout.It looks like we might have issues of not putting up proper pile of cash and school President in the way
Jeff Grimes would come in and nuke that garbage, just by walking into that qb room. Seeing miller moss, jaxon dart, and devin brown on the roster. He gets to coach Dart after he picked USC over BYU, once Grimes left to go to Baylor. A sort of reunion.If USC gets stomped by BYU at end of season, I think Aranda's stock goes waaaay up just by virtue of yesterday's dominating victory. And if Aranda's hire ever came to pass (we can always hope!), I'd bet the farm one of his first To Do's would be to scrap Graham and the Fake AR offense.
There are no guarantees with any coaching hire but I’m confident that Bohn will hire an experienced coach who is high respected and knows how to run a program. After that, they have to get it done on the field.Mike Bohn is an experienced AD.

My prediction is we will be underwhelmed. Mike allowed this season to happen. This was predictable.There are no guarantees with any coaching hire but I’m confident that Bohn will hire an experienced coach who is high respected and knows how to run a program.
