Some USC fans are worried about negative recruiting toward coaching staff

On our recent USC football call-in show at The Voice of College Football, an interesting discussion came up at 21:50 in the broadcast. A caller brought up a great point about Matt Entz, Doug Belk and D’Anton Lynn and their plans to move on from USC. Is this hurting recruiting?

Matt Entz, the linebacker coach, made it very clear that he is at USC to pick up FBS experience in recruiting and team operations — two holes in his resume that have limited his attempts to move up to the FBS level after a very successful run at FCS powerhouse North Dakota State.

Doug Belk also was a defensive coordinator who has stepped down in terms of status and overall job title to coach the secondary at USC. He has sacrificed something to come here.

D’Anton Lynn is an NFL guy with the Baltimore Ravens. He did go to UCLA, but he was in the NFL and wanted to test himself at the collegiate level before he eventually returns back to the pro game at some point in the future.

We address these concerns in the video below (at 21:50), noting how other schools are naturally inclined to negatively recruit against the possible flight risks for this USC football coaching staff:
