Why Hasn’t USC Fired Clay Helton Yet?

The USC football program is getting flushed down the toilet. They are a long ways away from the Pete Carroll days where they were dominating college football. Instead, they are winning 8 games a year and can’t even compete for Pac 12 titles. The standard under Clay Helton has been “well, maybe we can beat Utah”. Embarressing… Why hasn’t USC fired Clay Helton yet?

USC took another step back during National Signing Day. According to the 247 Sports recruiting rankings, USC just pulled off the 79th best recruiting class in the country. For the record, Bowling Green was 78th. That’s how pathetic USC has become.

To make matters worse, Clay Helton was proud of those accomplishments:

We had a very good day today that we’re very happy about,” Helton told the Los Angeles Times, with a grin on his face. “I’m not necessarily about perception, I’m about wins and how to produce the best football team. You have to worry maybe not about popular opinion and address what your needs are.”

Hilarious. “I’m about wins and how to produce the best football team.” USC isn’t winning and they can’t even recruit in the State of California. I just don’t understand how this guy still has a job. It makes no sense. Fans aren’t going to the games, they aren’t recruiting well, and not even competing for the Conference title game. Clay Helton gotta go.

This is going to go down as maybe the worst recruiting class in USC history. They’re located in Los Angeles. How hard can it be? USC hasn’t ranked outside the top 20 in recruiting since 2010. As of right now, they only have landed one 4-star recruit and ZERO 5-star recruits. What more does the athletic director have to see?
