At SC, who would be his in-conference competition? Washington? SC has demonstrated it can (should) sustain a national championship contending team in the (relatively) recent past. The talent is available and the university is likely going to be completely submissive to his management, or lack-thereof. I can't think of an easier operation to jump into and play savior.

Season ticket sales are dropping through the floor and they’ve fallen significantly behind in the facilities arms race. It’s no surprise that Jimbo jumped ship as soon as he got a better offer. It’s highly unlikely that FSU could match any financial package that deep-pocketed USC could offer. Meyer to USC is as good a bet as Brian Kelly calling an end zone fade.
