Here is the quote. I think Miami and USC are very similar institutions and programs, but they have very dissimilar results now and, it looks like, quite different long term plans. Wonder who is "right".
Remember, USC went 4-8 last season. The Trojans have essentially lit a blowtorch to the concept of the traditional rebuild. As schools across the country make coaching hires with the intention of finding someone who can orchestrate a quick fix, the blueprint USC laid out last offseason will likely be emulated by a few staffs over the next few months.
As the Trojans look to claim their first Pac-12 title since 2017 and secure their first-ever trip to the College Football Playoff, The Athletic spoke to coaches and administrators who have seen USC up close in recent years to examine the factors that have led to the program’s sudden rise. They were granted anonymity so they could speak freely about the program.
“It’s just where college football is now and we’ve never seen it before at this level so that is surprising,” said one former member of the program. “You could have never expected or predicted this a year ago. But that’s just the way it works now with the transfer portal. Every single year now is a new year, a new team, and there are no such things as a rebuild anymore.”
