If you’re wondering about the future of Clay Helton then you’ll no longer have to wait.
USC athletic director Lynn Swann announced that head coach Helton will be retained for the 2019 season in a statement released Sunday morning. In his statement Swann states “Clay Helton is our head coach and he will continue to be our head coach.”
If USC was going to make a decision, then it had to make a decision soon and this was ultimately the one it made. This season was a worst case scenario for the Trojans. They went 5-7 with a 4-5 record in the Pac-12 as well as missing out on a bowl game.
