USC Sunday Buzz: The Best Coaching Job In America

You know what the best coaching job in America is? USC men’s basketball coach. You can make $5 million a year and just about have the least pressure to win of any Power 4 job with largely apathetic fan base outside of a small following that almost never calls for a coach to be fired.
