Greg Schiano? Oh my God.
Joe Brady should be interviewed. Although he's probably a year or two away from an NFL head coaching job.

I agree on Fickell and USC should focus on proven college head coaches, though doesn’t hurt to talk to Brady. USC dropped the ball on Urban.
1. Fickell
2. Campbell
3. Petersen
Fickell coached under 2 championship coaches in Tressel and Urban at Ohio State and played there. He knows what a big-time program looks like and what it takes.

From my understanding Petersen didn't like the recruiting grind. I wouldn't want a non recruiting HC.
Fickell is born, raised and coached his entire life in Ohio. He seems like a small town conservative type of guy to me.
I understand why people are connecting him to this job, but I'm not sure if he's the guy for this job in Los Angeles.
I call BS on that one Jim Mora would not work at all
He took a division 2 school to div 1 and is ranked in top 25. AP coach of the year. Someone is going to hire him. When they do people will ask why didn’t USC interview him? Probably NFL coach.
I am hoping Urban decides quickly that NFL is not for him, and wants the challenge of being the first HC to win NC in 3 different schools.
If that doesn’t happen I hope Pete Carroll decides he needs a different challenge. To prove he can do it again. Yeah , I know this is not happening.
of those listed Schiano is not a possibility. He has the stink of Sandusky on him which has already cost him another college HC job but he could be DC if Urban comes.

Never know….. he has a connection with BohnerHas he already been hired? Seriously
Bohn obviously has the biggest “in” with Fickell, just depends on Fickell’s ambitions and Cali pros/cons.
Couldn’t argue with that hire….even if it failed to result in nat’l. championship football, it would be the right choice at this time.
Obviously Urban would be explosive news on several levels….would take an historic, never-happened-before, jaw-dropping flip flop that came out of nowhere. So, there’s a chance, lol?
Campbell would be interesting. Nay on the rest, for me.

Bohn supposedly was talking to Bob Stoops in 2019. I hope Bohn doesn’t go down this road. Great career record, 1 National Championship 20 years ago. But Stoops is 61 years old and left Oklahoma after 2016. Record is comparable to Urban’s, but something is lacking with “Big Game Bob”. Many would say (including me) that at least Stoops is an improvement over Helton. But USC needs to aim higher than that standard.
He doesn't exist.
It's either Kyle Whittingham or Ty Willingham.
I don't want either.
Napier is interesting. He coached under Saban for 5 years. Primarily coached in the south though.
He also coached under Bowden and Swinney. He's said to be detail-oriented and someone who always has a plan. He's had success at Louisiana. Hard to say if that would translate to USC. But I think he'd at least be worth a look.
Maybe we need to fire up the USC-Urban PR campaign again. Haha.
Franklin? Hell no
Schiano No
I'm thinking Bohn has Fickell lined up to fire Helton after weak 2. I'd take Cristobal in a heartbeat. Surprised Miami has not pursued Cristobal considering he grew up there and won 2 NCs as an OL there. Only a matter of time before Miami offers him the world.

You're on. $100 says we don't make him the permanent hire. In fact, I'll even give you odds. We don't hire him, you owe me $50. We do, I'll send you $100.
