I would have to put USCw and UGA as 1a and 1b, respectively. Obviously, each school would want a coach with ties to their region. USCw has more history, tradition, etc., but UGA offers a better program at its current state. You inherit one of the best RBs in the nation more than likely along with the #1 QB recruit in the nation. You would inherit a young defense and hopefully keep Pruitt. You would also have a very beatable UNC team your first game on national TV. That schedule also includes 1 tough true road game in Ole Miss, all your rivals at home except the WLOCP, and an easier OOC schedule.

At USCw, you open in Texas against Alabama. The talent level just isn't what it used to be. And you're in a more of a "win-now" situation. You've witnessed what early success and an SEC Championship can get you at UGA. That's multiple chances to fail and still keep your job for 15 years. Just think how long you can stay if you win a MNC at UGA.

If Richt does leave after the season, wait until the coaching short lists come out. The difference in names on it will be staggering. USCw can talk to NFL guys and not get laughed out of the room. Unless Texas comes open, they'll be the only open college job that can say that. They have a legitimate shot to land Chip Kelly if he's interested in leaving Philadelphia.

The sanctions are finally starting to be behind them, and Kiffin/Sark recruited really well. The cupboard isn't bare out there, and a coach isn't beating his head against a brutal SEC schedule every week.

Southern California produces a shitload of HS football talent, too. LA and San Diego combined are probably on par with Miami and Atlanta.

USCw is a premier college football job. Georgia is probably a tier below.
