Helton is toast.....

- Start date
I honestly thought that this would be Urban Meyer's landing spot when it opened up. After yesterday, I wonder if he's sorry he didn't wait for it. Meyer (or Saban) just aren't cut out for NFL careers. USC is a sleeping giant - especially with its recruiting base
I love this stuff....
If you take a look at USC's annual records over the last 40 years, outside of Petey's 9 years that ended in scandal and sanctions, they have been decidedly average in an average conference. It's not apparent to me what makes USC a job you would take over other similar jobs.
If they get a coach that can recruit and lock down California......watch out.
I think the LA Times had him fired.

Plaschke: In the wake of the Saturday Night Massacre, USC needs to remove Clay Helton immediately
USC president Carol Folt and athletic director Mike Bohn can no longer delay firing football coach Clay Helton, a good man who is a bad fit to lead the Trojans.

USC can have Franklin only if we are guaranteed Fickell.
Fickell and Campbell are the two that stand out and are most likely to jump on the USC job. Both are just waiting for something like this to open up. No way in hell CJF would leave PSU for USC.
I"m in if USC has to take you too.
Moment of silence for all of our UCLA and Notre Dame friends.
Not really. The John McKay are days gone for good. LA is dominated by pro sports...USC and UCLA have been relegated to the margins. Are there some good athletes in the neighborhood? Sure, but SoCal demographics are increasingly dominated by Hispanics who typically aren't built for football.
Hard to disagree with you. His name is popping up on just about every big coaching opening. What he's done at Cincy is off the charts
Who from this board coaches PSU on Saturday? I really would like the opportunity. I can do it.
In that case, can I be the guy who follows him around on the sideline and takes care of his headset?
Couldn’t you say the same for a lot of programs? Look at Bama post Bear - pre-Saban. But, candidates? Would JoMo get another look?
Good. Phuck the Toejams. I dislike (nay, loathe) them more than ANY other team. Even the Suckeyes, the Yankees, the Tide, and the 'Furd.
Absolutely. I think once you get to a certain level of program, it's a job you don't leave for a similar job unless there are significant extenuating circumstances....like too many coeds....err, I mean heart conditions.
Fickell capped the bed in his one year at Ohio state plus he wants Michigan
The **** are you serious with this post he’s not gonna recruit from a 30 mile radius only my Lord

Doubt that USC will come up with the cash necessary to lure Franklin. Would he leave if they did? Yup.
Campbell, Fleck, Schiano, and Fickell are more realistic. Tony Elliott is probably too much of a calculated risk.
USC says the search is going to take months. I'm sure they would meet somewhere else anyway. But yes, I did check.
Didn’t Brian Kelly do the same at Cincinnati? How we all have short memories. BK hasn’t won a championship yet…although he did play for one.
