USC keeping Clay Helton

Good
Is there anyone who thinks that Helton is the best coach that USC could get for its HC job? Does anyone in the USC administration even think that? I don't think Helton even believes that himself.
It's rare to see mismanagement on the level USC is operating at. Impressive.

May it last for a long time.
Hard to justify Helton as HC. To Swann's point though, sometimes a bad season can be fixed and trajectory altered with some changes of assistants (Notre Dame example he used).
USC needs to fire their OC today. A really good OC might be what they need along with a few other changes. Given how much money they are signed up to pay Helton. I could see us in 2021 talking about what a great move this was. If it proves to be a bad move, USC will not suffer like CU and others have. They will recover quickly.

my takeaway here is if Clay Helton's lawyers are anywhere near anything i'm doing, CU is doing, you reading this are doing.....run like hell.
some satanic vipers, those guys must be. 20 million $ buyout, yikes.

It’s CU-esque.

beware the habu
Mitigated, to some extent, by that magical endowment. No guarantee they won't waste a good chunk of it given their current mismanagement and state of affairs.

The success of the Carroll years turned their AD into a country club, not unlike what happened to CU in the 90’s and lingered after. It’s just sad that USC let itself fall into that mode with all their advantages. It’ll take them a while to crawl out of it. That lawsuit they have with a school gynecologist is a bfd.
USC just needs a Saban and it'd take off. Luckily they keep trying to milk the PC tree and/or giving Helton the job.
oh, they just need what well might be the greatest coach to ever grace a college sideline? alrighty then.
No. No it’s not.
I think a great argument can be made that the Pac-12 is struggling in large part because of how badly USC has bungled things.
Compare this with the Big Ten -- remember when there were the national stories about the decline of the Big Ten, the population shift and whether the rust belt could compete with the coasts and sun belt regions (the other P5 conferences)? Ohio State hired Urban Meyer. Michigan hired Jim Harbaugh. Penn State hired James Franklin.
In the Pac-12, Washington did its part as one of our premier programs by hiring Chris Petersen. UCLA did its part by hiring Chip Kelly. Did Oregon do its part by going Helfrich-Taggart-Cristobal after Chip left for the NFL? Has USC done its part with all of its post-Pete hires? Did ASU do its part by hiring Herm Edwards?
Delightful news!
Yup. When your two best programs in football and basketball don’t do whatever it takes to win it is not going to go well. UCLA basketball and usc football are killing this conference right now.
I just mean Alabama was nothing special before Saban showed up. If they fired Helton and hired Franklin, they'd be top tier. Instead they just keep inexplicably ****ing it up.
This is great news, and another reason for us to wrap up Jimmy Lake right now!!!
Unless there is s coaches carousel somehow, there will not be any other P12 job openings this year.
Best thing for Jimmy is to stay in P12, not in the north where he is competing directly with his mentor. If you listen to all his interviews, he just is such a smart strong guy that the current players and all the strong recruits will want to be with.
A smart, articulate, and strong African American head coach could make the challenges discussed about Boulder solvable or at least really support the kids we need to come here.
Nobody touches Jimmy Lake in my opinion. By the way, he brings a notebook with all the defensive solutions to every P12 team!
