What do you do?
On one hand, you're at A&M(for the 2nd time) right now....so you know the area, know the program, you know what's expected. You've recruited in the state of Texas for past decade or so and probably have Houston area high schools on speed dial, and Dallas to a lesser degree. You can convince kids to come play in the SEC w/o having to leave the state. You're the hot new team on the block in college football.
Other the other hand....it's the SEC. You can field a good team and still have 4-5 losses, potentially. You're still recruiting against LSU, Bama, etc and regionally to Arkansas and of course out of conf to UT.
And
...... the elephant in the room.....Johnny Manziel. You're NEVER going to have another him. Your defense is swiss cheese and Manziel has the ability to move the ball down the field like no other QB right now and has kept you in games other QB's would've lost. A&M probably has 4 losses right now if not for Manziel.

Then you have USC. USC is USC. The expectations after the Pete Carroll era are going to be national title contention. But you're still gonna have to deal with scholly restrictions for the time being, while recruiting now against a surging Stanford, re-awakened UCLA and of course Oregon. USC recruits itself on some level, but now you're in an area where you have probably have very few connections.
You have higher(maybe unrealistic) expectations at USC and maybe a shorter leash to get it done. But the upside should you succeed at a place like USC is obviously tremendous.
What do you do....stay or go?
