    He'd take the USC job for less than the Texas job. 

    Why? Money wont be the #1 factor but why take less money and pay a higher tax rate? 

    Also if he wants to clean his image USC may not be the best place to go. Since the Reggie Bush scandal they have had the Sarkisian debacle and the admissions scandal inside the athletic department. This is probably why USC did not higher him last year.

    Kyle doesn't strike me as a guy who'd go CFB over NFL. Dude's been around the league his whole life. 

    But am curious if any of the BMDs would push hard for it, and if he'd at least listen for two seconds. That's my main interest, because I seriously doubt he'd jump, and honestly not sure how well he'd do. 

    He and the GM are under contract until 2025 I believe. Would take another 2 or 3 bad years for him to leave or get fired. 

     

    If he gets run off would he come be Urbans OC in 3-4 years and learn the ins and outs of a successful college program? Then he could take over after Urban retires.

    What motivates Urban Meyer is an interesting topic. Money always matters, but that's allegedly not his primary driver. Achievement and prestige play roles. The ability to redeem his status as on par with Saban and one of the greatest coaches of all-time is apparently important and there is one clear, inarguable way to create that outcome - win a national title at a 3rd school, which is a feat never before accomplished. If he can do so scandal-free and without having to constantly cheat, even better.

    Those are the things more than money that have him interested in both Texas and USC, which are the only legitimate blue bloods expected to be in play any time soon. Getting to also troll Herman as a cherry on top is not something anyone has mentioned as being relevant, but I like to think that if he took the UT job, he'd be doing that regularly. 

    Texas offers a (still) cleaner recruiting landscape, all of the resources and coverage, and the easiest path of any school to the CFP. This is what's being sold and valued. The guy supposedly got burnt out on all of the cheating, on top of everything else, he was having to deal with at OSU. 

    Making a dominant 5+ year run with no scandals would also do wonders for his legacy. Would be easy to accomplish at a school like Texas where those have been scarce.

    But will our Cal Berkeley loving Life UT Admin allow that to happen.?

    Isn’t California their model here for the past 2 decades?

    Seems like it’s.

    Prove me wrong.

    Hartzell seems to be more pro sports than Fenves so that is positive data point.

    I really hope the BMDs can put the $$$ together this year.  If Urban is hired this year, the drop off in recruiting will be minimal.

    After he got hired at OSU they had a top 5 class even with looming sanctions. Recruiting would probably be better if hired this year.

    He’d also likely have 4 national titles if it wasn’t for the post season ban at Ohio state because of Treasell. 
     

     

    This may br the biggest pro to hiring him. He got that team to 12-0 with a post season ban and coming off a 6-6 season.

    Wait? How?

    That's assuming he replaces everyone. He's been enamored with Ash all off-season so him and his guys stay. Drayton may stay due to familiarity. CDC probably makes him keep most of the staff with Hand as the outlier.
