That's what I'm screaming. USC is still one of the best jobs in the country.

USC is still on probation and will have 55 scholarships next season.
Sumlin has built A&M into a winner overnight, they have tons of money (more than USC) and they are building a half a billion dollar stadium.
Here are the records for the coaches at USC in the last 30 years:
Ted Tollner (1983-1986) 26-20-1
Larry Smith (1987-1992) 44-25-3
John Robinson (1993-1997) 37-21-2
Paul Hackett (1998-2000) 20-17
Pete Carroll (2001-2009) 83-19
Lane Kiffin (2010-2012) 25-13
Pete Carroll's time there was the exception, not the rule over the past 30 years.
Cost of living in LA is much higher than College Station, TX. Texas has no state income tax, while California has the 2nd highest. Property values in California are significantly higher. Sumlin would probably have to get paid an extra 30+% on top of his salary just to sustain his standard of living in LA.
As much as it would be good for our recruiting for Sumlin to leave, I think he will only do so for the NFL.. and even that is a question mark to me.

I think USC is a great job normally but I'm not sure about right now. The bigger is probably that Sumlin supposedly has been more interested in going to the NFL than ultimately staying in college.
And USC will still have limitations for the next year or two... and Sumlin will have to build recruiting relationships in California. The advantage he had in moving to A&M was he already knew the recruiting grounds in Texas. California is a different set of relationships.
