I don't get it at all.  He's in a situation where he's in the 4-team playoff more years than not.  Now he's going somewhere that hasn't really been nationally relevant in years, but they expect a coach to compete for national championships?  Surely the A.D. at OU didn't suggest that he might want to move on?

Could be arrogance.  Maybe he thinks the winning and prestige will follow him to USC, but he gets to live in California instead of Oklahoma.

He’s about to be in the SEC West. Competing against Oregon and Stanford for top recruits and playoff spots is a hell of a lot easier than Georgia and Bama. 

oh, and I think OU currently holds three or four five star commitments from Southern California…

They said similar things about A&M, but they haven't done worse in the SEC than they did in the Big 12.

And OU's been competing against Georgia and Bama (and USC and Oregon) for playoff spots and recruits, and they've done aight.

That all changes in the SEC.

I just don't buy that he's running because he's scared of the SEC.  He surely believes that he can coach with the best; and, if anything, the move will only help OU's recruiting.
