USC Coaching switch

This article talks about how much money USC will end up paying their new head coach and his staff now that Pete Carroll (their previous coach) left for the NFL to take the head coaching spot for the Seattle Seahawks.

Although USC isn't short on money, this coaching change could come back to bite them in the butt. If Kiffin and his staff end up doing worse than Carroll did his last year at USC then they will have to buy out their contracts and start a new search for a new staff and end up paying even more because of the decision they made hiring Kiffin.

Once Carroll made is leap to NFL, that sent the college football nation into panic mode. Withe the USC head coaching spot open the rumors started flying. Will they pick an NFL coach or would they pick another college coach? The rumors started with USC trying to get Oregon State Coach Mike Riley, but he said no and instead opted for an extension on his contract to put him coaching the Beavers through the 2019 season and more money per year.

After a few other coaching either falling through or USC didn't like them, they landed with Kiffen, a coach for the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee. So with Kiffen leaving there, Tennessee had to sign a new coach and give him a better contract.

So Carroll leaving for the NFL not only caused USC to deal with money issues, but many other teams around the country as well.
