USC Football Hires Clay Helton As Permanent Head Coach, Another Homerun Hire By Pat Haden?

USC has their man and his name is Clay Helton. The interim coach that took over the USC football program mid-season after Steve Sarkisian was fired will now lead the Trojans into a new era.

After a 5-2 season as interim coach, Helton has apparently impressed USC Athletic Director Pat Haden enough to keep the spot in one of the most prominent positions in college football.

Despite big losses to Notre Dame and Oregon, the wins over Utah, Cal, Arizona, Colorado and an injury-depleted UCLA team were enough for USC to put thier complete faith in Helton and lead them into the future.
