There are really two USC lists. There's a dream list with coaches like Chip Kelly, Bill O'Brien, Bob Stoops and Jason Garrett where USC would need to break the bank. Don't expect Sean Payton to be on USC's list after his reported alleged links to Vicodin in a lawsuit in 2010 (Payton has denied any wrongdoing). Too risky with Sarkisian's issues that led to his firing. The guess here is that USC doesn't hit its dream list.
One other thing to consider: Don't count out Clay Helton if USC wins out. With all that talent there, there has to be some consideration for stability. (Haden thinks a lot of Helton).
Dream List: Chip Kelly, Bob Stoops, Bill O'Brien, Jason Garrett
Realistic List: Kyle Whittingham, Clay Helton, Pat Fitzgerald, Dan Mullen, Jeff Fisher, Jack Del Rio and Pat Narduzzi.
