Gottaagree. USC is a football school and always will be....If I was Dixon I'd stay at Pitt or go for the Georgia job.

Steve Lavin is another guy I'd be going after for a coach but he has it made at ESPN right now working with Erin Andrew's each night...lol

If I were Lavin, I'd sit tight at ESPN -- he has the best job in the world!
Erin Andrews is the frosting on the cupcake!
Mmm 'frosting!'
