re: More attractive coaching destination: USC or LSU?

As much as we may not like it, for a coach with no ties to Louisiana or the southeast, USC will alway be more attractive.

Better weather, easier path to success, recruiting ground as good if not better than the south, more reasonably fan base, etc. etc.

And if we are being honest, if you have the type of money major college coaches have, there are few better places to live than SoCal.
