We can agree that SCAR is a good job, not disputing that. In terms of recruiting ground versus the aforementioned teams, consider the other side of the coin. SCAR has more talent resources but also faces more competition. I'm not going to argue the talent disparity, numbers speak for themselves. However, I'd rather recruit the state of Texas and the Midwest than go head-to-head against the likes of Clemson, UGA, Auburn, Bama, Florida, Florida St, etc.

UNC is another team that is comparable. Both have good fan bases, access to great HS talent, and has the money to throw around. My point, SCAR is an uphill battle for any coach. The coaches you mentioned failed to deliver a title so I find it a hard sell.

Again, good job but it has a self inflated value.

UNC has turrible fan support in football.

And how do you define tiers 1 and 2 if USC isn't in either?

You're purposely downplaying us, and I don't know why. The support the UNC fans and administration put behind their football team is NOT comparable to South Carolina. The only reason they still have fans attending their games are because they're halfway decent this season. Normally UNC football games are at about 50% capacity at this time of year, and they're already focused on basketball. If SC and UNC were competing to hire the same coaches, the only reason one would choose UNC is because it's easier in the ACC.

The money, fan support, and recruiting effectiveness of SC easily make it the better job.

The lack of titles doesn't mean that the 2010 - 2014 seasons didn't happen. The foundation to succeed is in place at SC. Coaches will care about what is in place for them to work with NOW, not what was accomplished 30 years ago. It is entirely plausible to think that a coach will look at what can be accomplished at SC and want to be the one who brings us our first SEC championship.

Spurrier accomplished a lot here while arguably giving minimal effort in terms of recruiting and overall control of the program. As long as our next coach has a young, fiery ambition, we'll be fine.
