I'm gonna say no with pretty much 100% certainty. Now if he gets fired he might go back to college but even then I don't think so unless he flamed out so hard here that there was no interest with other NFL teams. 

100% Agreed. Rhule doesn’t strike me as the type of person to go back on his word, especially when there is 60 million dollars and teppers reputation involved. There is no doubt he will see this contract out if Tepper let’s him. If he doesn’t have a ring and Tepper parts ways I could see him being old enough that college may be his ideal choice after this stint.

Would he have left Baylor for Carolina for the same amount of money?

Why did he spend the majority of his career at the NCAA level never seeking NFL employment?

He spent 1 year in NY and went back to the NCAA. Marty and Tepper went after him not the other way around.

He said before he came here that his goal was to get back into the NFL and coach at the highest level he can. He is one of the highest paid coaches in the NFL. He is where he wanted to be. Why move back into the college ranks unless he bombs out like Saban did.

He had interviewed with multiple NFL teams in years prior before landing the job with Carolina. You clearly don't know what you're talking about here.

He coached in the NFL previously and interviewed for NFL jobs. Is your entire speculation based on now knowing any facts?

That clearly is the case lol.

I highly doubt Rhule will try for the USC HC job.  The man has been working for an NFL HC job his entire career.  USC is not exactly the most desirable job in college football anymore.  Anyone who gets that job will have their work cut out for them.  USC is no longer the powerhouse it once was.  I mean hell, USC can't even keep top QB prospects in the state anymore.  I.E. Bryce Young, Dj Ugalelei. How are you going to convince prospects like them, that the PAC 12 is where you need to be.  PAC 12 is weak, and an alliance with ACC is only to keep pace with the SEC. So good luck to the next HC at USC.  You're going to need it. 

Players leaving the state is definitely an issue but recruiting is not the main issue

Helton had three top-four classes and two top 10 classes in his 7 years. Most recent 2021 class was ranked 7th with the top player in CA going to USC and the gatorade national player of the year (QB Jaxson Dart) coming in from Utah.  If Helton could recruit, a competent head coach can too. Donte Williams the interim head coach is regarded as a top recruiter on the west and poached Thibodeaux and Justin Flowe out of SoCal to come up to Oregon when he was there. So hopefully he's retained too.

USC's donors and administration will give whoever comes in the resources to succeed.

Just need someone who can actually coach (lol).

It’s Eric Beinemy’s job to lose. He is pretty much a shoe in.

Really?  Do a little research on the history between USC AD Bohn and Bienimy while at Colorado.  The school cannot afford to have another HC with drinking problems, women beaters and arrests.  In his case, it was 20 years ago, it’s behind him, I hope.  Can’t take the chance with all the bad publicity the school has had.  Besides, the school is looking for a coach with HC experience.

Names thrown out there by agents looking to boost their clients salaries.

Also, Franklin…he was out coached by the guy they just hired, and Sam Darnolds’ performance.

There will be a lot of names out there that will never be offered or looked at.

*Addendum:  as I posted before, the school was very interested in Coach Rhule, we’d love him, but it’s an impossible dream.  He checks all the boxes for us.

I’ve said since day one he took this job with the mindset to leave once a big program job in the NCAA came available. I really think his heart is in NCAA football. Say this season is below expectations would he go back to the college level like Saban? What kind of wrench would that throw into this rebuild.

$$$ talks USC can't pay him a 70m deal baseless speculation.

Haha.  I remember in 2008 on the old ESPN National board (all P5 conference teams represented) Florida and other SEC fans were saying that Alabama would never be relevant again.  They would never be relevant again.  We (SC fans) suggested that they should never claim a traditional blue blood program would be not relevant forever.  Wish I had screen shots of those remarks.

You make a mistake by thinking that USC will never return.  Jimmy Sexton, case in point.
 

“According to Dr. Saturday, a YahooSports! college football blogger, Nick Saban could have had the USC head coaching job in 1997.

He turned it down on the advice of his agent, Jimmy Sexton, who told him:

Man, you don't want to go to Southern Cal. Nobody wants to send their kids to school in south central LA anymore. I don't see them being a power anymore.

Sexton added that, "to this day," Saban reminds him of the USC comments.

"Every time they're No. 1 or No. 2 or No. 3 in the country, he looks at me and says, 'Jimmy, you still think Southern Cal can't win anymore?'''

    • then why dont teams do that more if the 5th is so valuable?  If thats the case then the bills clearly value moving up 60 spots vs a 5th on a wr or whatever
    • guaranteed for injury only. I know I know he's always hurt. But if he sucks this year or misses more time this year but can pass a physical after the season we can cut him with zero $ on the books. 12.4 isn't much for a corner these days. easy decision in my view to pick up the option.
    • Historic Success Chart  (this chart is nine years old, but it shows the basic pattern of success) The numbers show us the following outline for finding consistent starters: 1st Round - OL (83%) LB (70%) TE (67%) DB (64%) QB (63%) WR (58%) RB (58%) DL (58%) 2nd Round - OL (70%) LB (55%) TE (50%) WR (49%) DB (46%) QB (27%) DL (26%) RB (25%) 3rd Round - OL (40%) TE (39%) LB (34%) DL (27%) WR (25%) DB (24%) QB (17%) RB (16%) 4th Round - DL (37%) TE (33%) OL (29%) LB (16%) WR(12%) DB (11%) RB (11%) QB (8%) 5th Round - TE (32%) DB (17%) WR (16%) OL (16%) DL (13%) RB (9%) LB (4%) QB (0%) 6th Round - TE (26%) OL (16%) DL (13%) WR (9%) DB (8%) RB (6%) LB (5%) QB (0%) 7th Round - DB (11%) OL (9%) QB (6%) WR (5%) DL (3%) LB (2%) RB (0%) TE (0%) https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2015/2/20/8072877/what-the-statistics-tell-us-about-the-draft-by-round Disclaimer:  I realize the first thing some of you will attempt to do is discredit the validity of this empirical study in an attempt to invalidate any conclusions that differ from those you have developed without any degree of exhaustive research or mild inquiry--comparative analysis, data collection, or coding, etc.  So I suppose I should apologize in advance for providing unsubstantiated and unapproved data for our casual consumption; if you'd like, I can get the address for those at Pro Football Reference who are responsible and allow you to contact them or seek compensatory damages.  If this information is still relatively accurate, the probable success rate for our WR selection yesterday should be in the 55-58% range, considering the depth of the position in this year's draft.  FUN FACTS:  For those of you wanting to double dip at WR:  The probability of starting drops in half each round from the second to fourth, and then (strangely) jumps from 12% to 16% in round 5, dropping back down to 9% in round 6...Notice the incredibly high (compared to the others) rate of success for TEs taken in rounds 5 and 6.  TEs drafted in the fifth round nearly double the chance for starting when compared to nearly every other position.  In the sixth round, the chance for TEs becoming a starter is 10% higher than the next highest position--5 times higher than a sixth round LB, for example. Statements that are related to the Panther situation based on this data: If we take a C in round 2 the chances of finding a starter are about three fourths (75%), the chances for drafting a LB in round 3 drops from more than half (55%) to a third (34%).  Finding a starting CB in the third round (opposed to the second) would drop from nearly half (46%) to a quarter (24%). If we take a LB in round 2, the chances of finding a starter are just over a half (55%).  Finding a starting CB in the third round (opposed to the second) would drop from nearly half (50%) to a quarter (24%).  Finding a starting C in the third would drop from 75% to 40%. If we take a CB in round 2, the chances of finding a starter are about 50%.  the chances of finding a starting C would drop from 75% to 40% in round 3.  The chances for drafting a LB in round 3 drops from more than half (55%) to a third (34%) So what scenario gives us the highest percentage of finding 2 players in rounds 2 and 3 that give us the highest likelihood for finding starters? Round 2: Center 75%, LB 55%, CB, 50% Round 3:  Center 40%, LB 34%, and CB 24% Other tips DAY 3:  This is when you draft the TE.  Between rounds 4-6, the percentage of finding a starter drops from 33% (rd 4) to 32% (rd. 5) to 26% (rd. 6). Recommendation: Draft your TE round 5. Round 4:  This is when you draft a Defensive Lineman.  37% chance of becoming a starter.  That is 10% higher than the third round and 24% higher than the fifth round. Round 5: The best round for drafting WR on day 3 (16% chance of starting). Round 7:  Draft a defensive back.  There is a one-in-nine chance of finding a starter--11%.  PROGNOSIS:  Based on this draft,  If we draft Center (rd 2) and ILB (rd 3) and have the best chance of producing two starters 54.5% If we draft LB (rd 2) and Center (rd. 3) the chance for producing 2 starters is 47.5%. If we draft a CB (rd 2) and LB (rd 3), the chance for producing 2 starters is 42%. If we draft a LB (rd 2) and CB (rd 3) the chance for producing 2 starters is 39.5%.* * in my opinion, based on the depth of this draft, this is probably what the Panthers will do-- At any rate, this is not law or current, but it does give you some ideas--hope you enjoy it.
