USC hires Mike Bohn to replace Lynn Swann as AD

Why wouldn't USC want to hire Urban Meyer?
This. They’re a blue blood and so no governing body is going after Meyer if he’s there. As to his baggage, winning is a balm that cures all ills, and Urb would win a metric ****ton there. They are stupid if they don’t want him there; I hope they don’t figure that out
 
USC is surprisingly ethical at times. They refused to let Tosh Lupoi be hired too.

I mean, they're not wrong. Urban does have quite a loaded past, but it is surprising that USC has limits. Those sanctions must've scared them.

Also says quite a bit about schools like Ohio St who slapped Urban on the wrist and called it a day, despite their own recent violations. But if memory serves tattoogate didn't even hurt them much other than they had to heave Tressel under the bus.
 
This makes no sense. Wasn't the Bohn hire supposedly based upon his connections to Meyer and the hope he'd be able to convince him to coach at USC? If not, wow, USC is really scrambling on AD candidates.

Or maybe Bohn didnt agree with targeting Meyer
 
I am no to going to argue, just be glad Urban won't be in the P12 South.
It sounds bad, but I just want SC to be relevant again so the Pac 12 has a national program aside from the every so often UW, Oregon and Utah. Maybe I'm overestimating what it would do for the conference, but I just want the conference profile and prestige to be raised on par with the BIG and SEC. SC being elite again is the only way that ever happens, IMO.
 
I don't think USC needs Urban for that, just someone more than competent. Would be a total zoo, but imagine Leach's offense with SC talent.
 
When a “reformer” comes in to clean things up, the athletics suffer. We have our own history to prove that.

Short term, that’s very bad for USC and possibly very good for us. Long term, I suspect the big dollar boosters will run the new President out once it becomes obvious that athletics are not a priority. Depending on the level of damage done, it could take several years for them to fully recover. A program like that won’t stay down forever, but it looks pretty bleak now.
 
Here’s another thing that just occurred to me: USC’s most recent run at the top of college football came at a time when there were no professional football teams in Los Angeles. Now there are two. USC isn’t the big dog anymore, and pretty soon, there will be a nice shiny new stadium in Inglewood (Its Inglewood, right?) that will be a lot more pleasant than the Colosseum. The competition for the sports dollar in LA just got a lot more intense. They could be looking at a 90,000+ seat colosseum with 50,000 or so folks rattling around in there.

The Chargers are a complete afterthought.
 
They will never rise among "minor nuisance" for USC.

The two NFL teams negatively impact UCLA a lot more than USC.

Are you arguing that having two NFL franchises in Los Angeles when there weren’t any before won’t pose a challenge for USC?

The Rams might draw, but SC is always going to be the top dog there

Mike Norvell would scare the hell out of me there too. If I'm Bohnhead or whoever takes that job, I'm calling that guy.
