USC is a bigger job than Oklahoma.

Only slightly.  And its also probably a harder job now.  College football is king in Oklahoma, but its just not as popular West of the Rockies as it once was. I would venture a guess that soccer will eventually eclipse College football in the Los Angeles area in both attendance and ratings.

LA is a bandwagon capital. If he can get USC back to 9 win seasons (which would be easy keeping the CA pipeline he has)  the coliseum will be packed just like the Carroll days.

Somewhat yes and somewhat no. They are actually fairly close.

OU SEC has a far lower ceiling right now than USC Pac 12 does.

There's no somewhat about it.

OU have already lost most of the important 22/23 Cali commits they had - they'll be following Lincoln Riley to USC.

They'll win the PAC12 every season with Riley in charge and get a Playoff berth every year.

Oregon are offering Cristobal a 10 year extension, that's going to be throwing good money after bad because their Cali pipeline is about to be cut off. When USC are rolling them dominate the West Coast - they're a monster.

Spent a lot of time in Los Angeles due to family in the area, and college football is rarely even mentioned.   Even when USC was good, they were rarely discussed.  Reilly will go from being the coach of the most popular team in Oklahoma, to being less popular than the Lakers, Dodgers, Rams, and probably the Soccer club.  

Maybe less pressure from the local media is a positive for him.

I may be crazy but Joe Brady to Duke seems like a good fit.  Nice stepping stone for a young coach to get his feet wet.

You are crazy. Why would a young up and comer with now NFL ties go coach at a program that is a complete joke, no respect, and could go 12-0 and still wouldn’t fill 1/3 of the stadium?
