Who Will Be The Next Coaches at USC and South Carolina?
Rather than make our own list, how about checking out the guys at Bovada who actually have to put their money on the line?
You'll recall that before Jim Harbaugh was announced at Michigan the offshores had to pull the bets down because so many people were wagering on Harbaugh.
Here's USC's list:
Kyle Whittingham +350
Chip Kelly +600
Brian Harsin +600
Tom Herman +700
Justin Fuente +700
Clay Helton +800
Jack Del Rio +800
Chris Petersen +900
Brian Kelly +900
Kevin Sumlin +1100
Gary Patterson +1100
Mark Dantonio +1500
Wow, tons of big names on this list.
And here is South Carolina's list:
Kirby Smart +250
Shawn Elliot +300
Justin Fuente +400
Ed Orgeron +400
Jeff Brohm +700
Matt Campbell +800
Mark Hudspeth +800
Matt Wells +1200
Mark Dantonio +2000
So Bovada's suggesting it will be Kyle Whittingham in cardinal and gold and Kirby Smart, at long last, finally leaving Nick Saban's side for another SEC job.
We'll see.
FYI, only Justin Fuente is at a non-major job and on both lists.
Probably a good time to be his agent.
