11 National Championship teams and 7 Heisman Trophy winners lived in South LA over numerous decades.

What's that got to do with what I said?

Not disagreeing that it isn't a top job, but their campus is not that great and South LA sucks. Also, south LA was a considerably better place to live when the majority of those championships and Heisman winners took place.

Are you referring to coaches? Why do they have to live in South LA just because they coach at SC? I’m pretty sure Pete lived in Manhattan Beach while coaching in Los Angeles.

This is true. You can live pretty much anywhere. Though I would think with LA traffic, it'd need to be somewhere marginally close.

Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, and Los Feliz are all within a 25 minute drive of the SC campus.

Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills, and Los Feliz are all within a 25 minute drive of the SC campus.

Meanwhile, the rest of the coaching staff would need a couple roommates to afford housing in those areas, or commute from El Segundo.

You're delusional. You can never put Washington over USC, and I like the Huskies and hate the Trojans. A good head coach would derail any and all west coast teams. Just like they always have. I expect a huge hire, that why they did it early in the season. Gonna really try to get this one right.

The most successful coach USC has had in the last 30 year was Pete Carroll, he went 82-9 over 8 years and got in trouble for violations and left for the NFL. Without that questionable period of ethical misbehavior, USC had about a 62% win ratio. Point is kids being recruited today are only aware of what has happened in modern history. USC just hasn't been able to pull it together for about 30 years. It's time to move on.

There isn't a better job in the West than USC...Recruiting is what matters the most in college football...California, especially Southern California, is one of the hottest hotbeds for talent in the country...And when SC' doesn't have a lame duck (no pun intended) coach, they get whoever they want with no impediment...They have National Championships in the 20's, 30's, 60's and 70's to go along with what Carroll did in this modern age, so they've been mostly dominant forever.
