Brad Lawing ‘would have been interested’ in USC job. Instead he’s at another school

Brad Lawing is getting back into coaching, and rejoining another former member of South Carolina’s coaching staff.

Lawing will start Monday as the defensive line coach at Georgia State, where Shawn Elliott is entering his third season as head coach. Lawing and Elliott were both assistants under Steve Spurrier at South Carolina from 2010-2012, when Lawing left to take a job at Florida.

“I trust Shawn,” Lawing said. “I had no idea what (Georgia State) had going on until I went down there to talk to him. In my opinion, they have patterned themselves after Central Florida.
