Urgency is mounting for USC as they seek to swiftly hire a new defensive coordinator. Today is November 29, and the transfer portal opens on December 4. The Trojans need to make their hire official as soon as possible to be active in the portal, especially to attract defensive prospects considering USC with a new coordinator.
It’s paramount for USC to secure the right candidate, but speed is equally crucial. The urgency is exemplified by the need to finalize the hire by early Friday at the latest.
Having the new coordinator on board before the Pac-12 Championship Game between Oregon and Washington is vital, as they will face USC in the Big Ten. This will allow the coordinator to immediately study the strategies of Oregon and Washington’s offensive coaches.
The urgency extends beyond conference matchups, as the Pac-12 title game coincides with college football playoff bids, the Heisman Trophy race, and New Year’s Six bowl selections. USC needs to seize multiple news cycles by making the hire by Thursday or early Friday to ensure their splashy new addition captures widespread attention in Los Angeles.
The clock is ticking for USC as they navigate this pivotal hiring process.
