I don't any way Peterson goes to USC. HE has always been very vocal about not wanting to coach in a fishbowl and be in a city. The only reason he went to UW was because you can drive 10 minutes outside the city and never know you were near a major metropolitan area.
I don't think Franklin is the guy. He hasn't done much at Penn St and has some baggage. I also completely disagree it would be a lateral move. USC is easily a top 5 job and maybe top 3. Not interested in arguing semantics, but if you asked 100 coaches if they would rather coach at USC or Penn state, 99 of them would say USC.
I think PJ Fleck may be the guy. He is young, charismatic, and can build a program.
