USC Hires Andy Enfield of FGCU

Looks like the Eagle has left.

After taking Florida Gulf Coast to their first ever NCAA Tournament and getting them to the Sweet 16, coach Andy Enfield is leaving for smoother pavement. USC has hired Enfield for what source told Andy Katz of ESPN.com is to be a six year deal. Sources also say that Enfield's salary will be well over a million dollars per year. Enfield was only with the Eagles for two years as head coach with it being his first head coaching job.

Right after Enfield arguably puts FGCU on the map, he leaves the small smudge for Los Angeles. It's a shame really that this kind of thing has to happen. After hearing that coaches Shaka Smart and Brad Stevens were staying at their respective small programs, I was expecting that Enfield would do the same. Instead, he leaves for somewhere else.

Now he might do fine at USC with the fact he might've not had that great of recruiting class to begin with at FGCU, but he also had lesser competition to face on a regular basis. He also didn't have to recruit players TO a city and not away from it. Don't see a lot of a schools from large cities with great basketball programs anymore.

P.S. I wonder if the chants at that pep rally have changed to "F**K YOU ENFIELD!!!"
