List of 10 candidates to replace Steve Sarkisian at USC includes Air Force’s Troy Calhoun
We say it so often it’s become a cliche, but in this case it’s absolutely true.
Southern California must nail this hire.
Whether it’s Pat Haden making the call (it shouldn’t be, given his mishandling of the football program) or the school president or one of the Trojans’ big boosters, there is no room for error.
If USC gets this one wrong, it risks slipping into a decade of irrelevance. Much like Tennessee, even a traditional power can’t just keep cycling through coaches and expect instability to bring championships.
Here are 10 candidates to replace Sarkisian, including Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun.
