Embattled USC coach Clay Helton will return for the 2020 season, a source told Yahoo Sports. Athletic director Mike Bohn met with the USC team early Wednesday afternoon to inform them of the decision.
According to a memo obtained by Yahoo Sports, Bohn explained the rationale behind his decision for Helton to “continue to be our head coach.” The letter stated: “Heading into 2020, Coach Helton and I will work together to take a hard look at all aspects of the football enterprise and will make the tough decisions necessary to compete at a championship level.”
Bohn’s letter hinted that added support for the football program will be added to the program.
