Last year, Sports Illustrated ranked the USC head football coaching position as one of the top four destination jobs in college football.
However, if you cannot be the head man at Troy, it's a great career move to jump on as an assistant.
Currently, there are seven college football head coaches, who were once assistants at USC, including Lane Kiffin.
Plus, there are four NFL head coaches with Trojan ties.
Here is the list with their current school and the years they assisted at USC:
Dave Doeren, Northern Illinois ('98-'99)
Bill Snyder, Kansas State ('66)
Bob Toledo, Tulane ('76-'78)
Mike Riley, Oregon State ('93-'96)
Steve Sarkisian (photo), Washington ('01-'03, '05-'08)
Lane Kiffin, USC ('01-'06)
DeWayne Walker, New Mexico State ('01)
