Could you have more Hubris?  Former football players turned broadcasters and loser politicians?  Seriously?  The AD job at Southern Ca.l in this day and age requires someone skilled in management, who understands finance, and digital media.  I can see why they might want someone who is media-friendly to be the pubic face, and leave the "real administrative work" to someone who knows what they are doing, but do you really want that when other ADs are savvy and experienced leaders of organizations?  Makes USC's place at the conference decision-making table look a little weak, IMO.
