USC football head coach Clay Helton has one of the hottest seats in CFB.
The time has arrived for a college football offseason tradition: Dennis Dodd’s annual “Hot Seat Rankings” for CBS. Unfortunately, USC football fans have had plenty of reasons to pay attention over the last few years.
This year, as expected, Clay Helton is highlighted among the coaches with the hottest seats. He has a five rating, up from last year’s “start improving now” rating of four.
Along with Helton, college football head coaches who scored a five include Vanderbilt’s Derek Mason, UTEP’s Dana Dimel, UCONN’s Randy Edsall, UCLA’s Chip Kelly and Nebraska’s Scott Frost.
