re: Comparing USC and Texas A&M side by side

What were talking about is a JOB. It's just like any other job. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the job itself.

You have never been to the good parts of LA. Definitely not shitty

There are great places in LA. Every city has good parts. I am referring to the traffic, pollution, noise, etc. If you live close to USC's campus, you are living in the ghetto. If you live somewhere nice, it takes you 3 hours to get to the office. That makes the job a lot less attractive.

and a coach of Sumlin's caliber will have no problem with California's cost of living.

Really? If they double his salary, he is make less money than he currently makes at A&M when all factors are considered. You think he is going to have "no problem" with California's cost of living?

USC is still historically one of the best CFB jobs and definitely top 5 currently. He would have a much easier time recruiting California than having to go against Saban/SEC, Texas & Big12

---

USC regularly recruits against UCLA, ASU, U Dub, Stanford, and most notably Oregon, which was built on LA high school football.

But I don't think USC will get Sumlin. They're after a NFL like coach would be my best guess.

This is what I think as well. I also don't think there is much of an advantage to going from a job where the facilities are top notch, recruiting is top 10, fans and administration are patient, and recruiting is done via the Swaggcopter. USC has many perks, but no advantage that would cause a coach to move from one top 25 all-time program to another. It would be foolishly risky, given the state of USC football.
