re: More attractive coaching destination: USC or LSU?

If your name is Urban Meyer and you want to grind on college chicks then usc.

LSU definitely takes the chips on this one. USC is a joke of a program now.
Number 1 recruiting.

Kids from southern Cal that want to play in the Pac-12 are going to schools that USC should trump. Schools in the pac 12 (and not good ones, trust me) are walking into USCs backyard taking all their recruits like it’s a cakewalk.

LSU not only has some great recruits on its roster, there are guys committed here solely because of the LSU pride in Louisiana, and it’s coach would hardly affect their decision.
I watch Utah play USC every year and it’s just sad to see where their program has gone. Having both of my parents go to Utah I love seeing that be a good game every year. But the Pac 12 sucks now soley because the power house in the Pac 12 south, USC is no longer.

USC is a train Wreck. LSU is just some BAW that ran into a light pole and just needs a new face and pumper. Any half decent coach weighing these options out could definitely see if being offered these two jobs, that LSU would take 1/100th the rebuild to be a powerhouse. And they would get credit for doing it.
