Graham Harrell arrived in Los Angeles last January at a moment of desperation for USC. The departure of Kliff Kingsbury after only one month as offensive coordinator had left USC’s football program looking directionless. “Realistically, there aren’t many schools in the country where you can win a national championship,” Harrell said in February. A week after an interview with Texas led USC to offer its rising star offensive coordinator a sizable raise, the school has yet to announce a new deal for Harrell. At North Texas, Harrell’s offense made a considerable leap in his second season, jumping from 70th in total offense to 22nd.
