InsideUSC with Scott Wolf 
Top 5 coaching candidates
1. Urban Meyer
2-5 who cares
Any bowl that wasn’t a Rose Bowl or now a days a playoff game is a bad experience. Who cares if you play in some horseshit bowl with 5,000 people there.

Hey buddha lets just hope the deal gets done ASAP, before Meyer pulls a Kingsbury snubs Usc and bolts for Dallas. Garrett is on the hot seat for the Cowboys and Meyer is on record saying if the job would open up he would have interest in that head coaching job..!

Budda,
I got to agree with you for the most part. However, seeing SC play Wisconsin the Holiday Bowl would had been classic if SC had a very good coach. it was another loss due to him.

You forgot #0 Clay Helton!!
He is a former Rosebowl winning coach! He did it with a backup QB!!! Bohn will make this situation work! We are going back up to the top with coach Clay Helton! He is an honest God fearing man unlike womanizing pagan Urban Meyer! We just got rid of the sexually abusive Doctor! Why would you want a sketchy enabler of spouse abuse as our coach??!!

Worst memories (it’s all criteria dependent of course) in no particular order:
-Texas. Enough said.
-Blowing big lead against Michigan in Rose Bowl in 1989.
-Getting manhandled by Auburn in 1987 Citrus Bowl.
-Zombies hijacking bodies of each team member and coach in 1982 Fiesta Bowl.
-Anything to do with the f’ing Sun Bowl.
-Physical beatdown and worse coaching mismatch against Ohio State of recent vintage (not so subtle “Please hurry the f up and hire him already!” hint).

We only had a 14-3 lead at half in the 89 RB, what sucked was we didn’t score a point in the second half. It was Smith’s best team and the last time SC was good for a long time
