Clay Helton Will Remain USC Head Football Coach – Twitter Reacts

By

To literally everyone’s astonishment, newly-instated USC athletic director Mike Bohn has announced to keep Clay Helton as the head football coach via Twitter:

What a Bohn-head move! (Let it be known in the history books that I came up with that saying all on my own). Fans of the once-football powerhouse have been disappointed with Helton’s head coaching tenure that started in November 2015. In a decade that has been racked with controversy and dissatisfaction, Helton did sneak in a couple solid years. They won the Rose Bowl against Penn State in 2017 and the Pac-12 title the following season. However, he followed up those seasons with a terrible 5-7 record last year, and an decent 8-4 record this year.

Helton’s tenure wouldn’t be a big deal at most colleges, but this is USC football we’re talking about. They’re one of the winningest programs in college football history with 11 national championships, and a plethora (big vocab guy) of NFL stars.

So as you can see, fans and alumni demand excellence. I mean, after all those years of winning it’s what
people expect from the program. Thinking back to those Pete Carroll years in which they won two
national championships, which don’t seem that long ago, it’s amazing how far they’ve fallen. Of course,
a lot of that had to do with the NCAA sanctions.

Not to mention the blue balls every USC fan got after expecting Bohn to announce that Urban Meyer
would take over the reigns as head coach. However, that whole situation involving Meyer was
unfounded because he never even said he wanted the job! Everybody basically just thought he was the
logical choice and made up these fantasies that he wanted the job – which is obvious now that he
doesn’t…at least for now.

But, it’s good to see USC fans are taking the news well!
