Sounds like he is the interim coach for USC effective now. Reports of Haden asking Sarkisian to take a leave (alcohol related?)
Do you think they would go hard after Chip Kelly first?Helton is now coaching for a permanent position. If he can somehow engineer wins against BOTH Notre Dame and UCLA, he will be the next USC Head Coach. If not, USC will look elsewhere.
I always thought Del Rio was a good fit for this program...former Trojan....no nonsense and knows defense. Good OCs are a dime a dozen.
Yup, but good luck hanging your hat on that. Helton is still the evaluator. Whether a service gives the kid a 5* or a 1*, Helton still needs to put his eyes on the recruit. Bad coach, bad recruiter. USC just needs to cut bait at this point and move on.I don't blame everything on him.
I blame the people that rank USC recruiting classes as top 10 each year
Obvious last few years, very overrated.
Remember that Stanford game well, winning as a big dog. Hard to believe that is the same guy coaching Michigan now.Last night's USC postgame show was a real beauty.
Felt like someone had died.
Final score: Stanford 42 USC 28.
Turns out, USC -16 (Circa opener) was a bad bet, let alone the closing number of USC -17.5.
Stanford found its quarterback in sophomore Tanner McKee.
A double-digit underdog wins by double digits.
Not quite the shocker from 2007 when Stanford won as a 41-point underdog, but still a major upset.
in basketball they call him a bag man, he was hired to recruit.USC has named Donte Williams as interim coach, who started his FBS coaching career at Nevada as Quality Control coach. he has had assistant coaching stints at UW, SJ State, Arizona, Nebraska, and Oregon,
I don't think he wants that kind of spotlight and expectations. If the situation in Seattle burned him out then give him about two seasons in LA and he'd be cooked. Plus he's not an SC recruiting guy. He likes 3 and 4 star prospects he can make into team players and a few into NFL picks. SC top recruits won't appreciate his approach.Chris Petersen would be a good hire if he wanted to get back into coaching
A 2-6 start with some ugly losses will start linking him to college jobs. That will further alienate the veterans on the Jags. It does have the makings of a one-and-done.There's no way for me to know this, but my hunch is the only college job he'd be interested in is NDU, then again if things go bad in Jax, he could look to bail
The way he answered the usc job question today was telling.A 2-6 start with some ugly losses will start linking him to college jobs. That will further alienate the veterans on the Jags. It does have the makings of a one-and-done.
No, meyer already turned it downIf the Jags situation goes south, would they go after Urban Meyer?
Agree, just not sold on a college coach turning them around. At least when Carroll left USC, he had pro coaching experience.Jacksonville has no talent, not his fault, trevor isoverrated
