MSU is paying him roughly 3.7 mil I think. If South Carolina offers him around 5 million wonder if he would go.

He played at USCjr and is a native of the South.

Would he return? Especially with Urban and Harbaugh being in the big 10?

**Shout out to my buddy who informed me that Dantonio is a former Game Cock.

At least this thread isn't the steaming pile of horse **** your "Butch Jones to USC" thread from yesterday was.

This thread is only semi ridiculous. A step forward for you, congrats.

He was actually raised in Ohio and has spent his entire life in the Midwest outside of college.

It really is a nice place to live.

I like it. Close to the mountains. Close to the beach. Low cost of living. People are friendly.

Sure, we have poverty, but you know the old saying...don't do things that poor people do and you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Yet the most success to date out of all 4 coaches has been a SEC East Title. Jury is still out on Butch. Just saying, credentials aside, USCjr is a tough place to win.

Your point was lost on me.

I wonder what the bolded stat would look like if WE had hired Holtz and Spurrier, and SC hired Jones and Dooley.

I know that Georgia produces a lot of talent, you didn't give stats for what I asked for though. Thanks in advance, I'm sure you have those. New York has way more people than Atlanta, but the state produces very little talent

That's 'cause they're YANKEES!

I always thought that South Carolina is where you go when they kick you out of NORTH Carolina. I mean why would a sane person WANT to move there?

I lived in Columbia for 2 years. It's actually not a bad place to live (other than the worst drivers I've seen).

I'll have to disagree with you and you won't like my answer.

We recently did a cross country road trip (5,000 miles in 3 weeks) the absolute WORST drivers we encountered were in Tennessee. Seems like EVERYONE we encountered was Speeding (WAY over the limit), Tailgating, and changing lanes erratically. It was like being in the middle of a NASCAR race...

People in Tennessee like starting to turn before actually turning on their blinker.

So every horrible driver you encountered on a Tennessee highway was a Tennessean? Given the number of major highway intersections in the state, I highly doubt it.

You've never visited Florida in the winter have you?

Always thought SC was attractive to coaches like Holtz and SS because of what it offers them.

#1 A chance to win with the right steps taken
#2 A 'manageable' fan base whose expectations are not so high that you are fired the first time you go 7-5.
I believe those 2 chose that destination over many "better" ones because of those lower pressure. Both got plenty of mileage out of SC.

I based my observations on the tags on the back of the cars that were passing me (we were towing a trailer). I-40 between Knoxville and Nashville was the most stressed out driving I did over the entire trip. So much so that I snapped and went off on the Wife, kid and dog (which was unfair to them). To be fair, I was also going on very little sleep at the time as well...

Missouri drivers also got a thumbs down.

My point was simply USCjr is hard place to win at, regardless of a coach's track record. Both Holtz and Spurrier had the pedigree, but were years beyond their success when hired.

Holtz hardly won anything and Spurrier took advantage when the rest of the East was vastly inferior to the West and managed the parlay it into a SEC CG appearance. I would hardly call that success given his track record at FL.

I'm not sure Holtz's fate would have been much different, but it would have been fun to see what Spurrier would have been able to do here. Unlike most, I'm still not convinced that Jones is as good or bad as he's made out to be.

I definitely run cars into the median...the ones with Gator and Bama tags or stickers on them!

Yes, SC is a hard place to win, which is what makes his record there all the more impressive. Heck, Lou Holtz delivered SC their second 9-win-season...ever. Spurrier's run on Clemson and 33 wins in 3 years will be hard to duplicate.

So now with Urban and Harbaugh to compete with that wouldn't factor? Money wouldn't factor either?

Just a thread for discussion. Really no need to get mad about anything.....

In The SEC, he would compete against Bama, UGA, UT, UF, LSU, TAM, Mizzu, Ark...
