Muschamp wants him on staff but not as a coach. Right? And if you aren't a coach, then you can't recruit. So what unfair advantage does the NCAA think SCar is getting?



I think you just answered your question there. He's working with camps and such with uncommitted recruits already, so if he's not a coach but still on the staff, he's in position to "recruit" by working the circuit while being a USC employee. Not sure how much of an advantage that would give a program like USC (LSU, Bama, etc, I can see it more clearly) but that does sound like the logic being used here. So they either hire him as a coach and let him recruit or let him be an unofficial Super-PAC type of guy who is technically not coordinating with the staff but no rational person believes that's actually the case.

I don't know why Boom can't just find a position group being covered by a coordinator and make Lattimore the position coach. Minimal work, and he gets paid.

Because then Lattimore can't do the camps.

That's the part everyone is missing. He can be a coach, analyst, anything they want to call him but if he becomes one the he can't do the camps.

Those camps are an integral part of his ministry and he understandably doesn't want to give them up, so he can't be on the staff.

I'd think Lattimore could make more money with the camps, speaking engagements, etc...and wouldn't have to work as many hours as he would as a position coach on staff.
