USC's next football coach is out there somewhere. He might be getting his team ready this week for a big game, or a small game, or applying pancake makeup for his role as a television analyst. He could be unemployed, playing golf and cashing termination checks from an NFL team that thought he was the answer. USC will pay gobs of money to a search firm that will identify and vet candidates. It is not Rankman's job to save a rich private school millions of dollars on the kind of headhunters who rubber-stamped Steve Sarkisian's past. Yet, there's a decent chance the next Trojans coach is also a punch line in this week's top 25.
