I don't think USC is really a better job than A&M

USC is a much better job than Texas A&M. Its a top 5 job-if not the top job in the Country. They are just suffering from post probation effects of the scholarship restrictions

Fan speculation which means [deleted]. Patterson to USC would be great though.

If it was the top job in the country they would have done better than Sark last time.

There's no question USC is a better job. I don't see Sumlin and his twangy accent working out there.

taking over a program on probation that lost 30 scholarships is an uphill climb-that's why Sarkesian was able to get the job. Most every national powerhouse that has gotten those type of scholarship losses has taken a hit on the back side. Of course, a program like USC can overcome some of that-see SMU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Clemson, Auburn, Miami, USC, Penn St. probations over the last 30 years or so

Bigger budget: A&M
Recruiting base: wash
Better conference: A&M (slightly)
Salary: wash
Better TV deal: A&M
Better stadium/atmosphere: A&M
Location: Personal preference (Hollywood glam comes with more scrutiny - Sark got away with more at UW than USC)
Coaching circle: Saban, Miles, Richt, Spurrier, Bielema, Malzahn vs Mora, Leach, Dykes, RichRod, Todd "I have family there" Graham
Already happy fanbase: A&M
Stink of probation and 2 previous failed coaches: USC

Sumlin likes to party too. Not as much as Sark though

I always thought Sumlin's next stop was the NFL. Can't see him going to USC.

I question the budget one. How about these slightly important numbers....

In the modern era (post-1951)
National Championships:
USC: 6
Texas A&M: 0

Conference Championships:
USC: 27
Texas A&M: 10

Heismans:
USC: 7
Texas A&M: 2

All-time Weeks at #1 (since 1937)
USC: 91
Texas A&M: 7

Plus, you are a star in the entertainment capital of the world. But Texas A&M is a better job... :lol:

in recruiting Texas A&M isn't even the most popular school in its state, USC is the most popular school in the Country over a 50 year period
