LOL wow he has a stick up his ass against his Alma mater.
Leave a successful rebuild where he is making 2-3 million per year and likely could get a bump to more money and move to Maryland make 3-4 million in a division with Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and wouldn’t have an easier rebuild.
My god Thamel Syracuse isn’t UConn.
If he said USC or Oklahoma if Riley left
For the NFL okay.
Dino isn’t leaving Syracuse for a job on the tier he is at.
He will only leave to move up.

The SU campus is in a lousy location. One wrong turn and you're on the South Side. The city itself is one of the ten poorest in the country.

From 2015:
Who should be the next coach at USC?

So is Southern Cal.

I agree its not, and I know you aren't arguing this, but, I will throw in my perspective that the Maryland job looks better on paper than it actually is. It seems like a sleeping giant, given its location and access to top talent. However, no one has actually been able to make it really run, even with crazy UA money. (The fridge had a few solid 10 win years I guess) Would definitely take a top guy to pull it out of the funk it's in. Doubt they will be able to get someone like that at this point. The dust will need to clear.

It's a little like Rutgers as far access to top talent. Sure, they are in a hotbed of talent, but they've always been low in the pecking order behind PSU, VT, ND, OSU...UMDs location is not good, and I'm being generous. It's one of my least favorite college campuses. They draw worse than we do for FB (on a capacity %basis) and they also have the stigma of being a hoops school.

College football's $100 million question: Can USC, Auburn and Louisville afford to fire their coaches?

15 million plus buyout, on a contract he just extended. Be very bad for the AD. OL coach firing, etc. Is an attempt to keep their jobs for another year.

32 mil Auburn.

I'm just looking at Wake. We're getting ahead of ourselves, again. Gbo. You played it like a puppet master. ;-)

A couple of more years and he'll own finish second in the ACC

Fixed it for you

So is Southern Cal.

If he can deal with SU, he can deal with SC. It was to counter the poster who said SC is in a bad neighborhood. Yale is in pistol wavin New Haven for Christ's sake. Many universities are in terrible areas of the city.
