1. Something to consider as USC hires Clay Helton, Georgia hires Kirby Smart and Maryland hires D.J. Durkin: Take the top 10 head coaches in winning percentage among Power 5 schools. Four of them -- Jimbo Fisher of Florida State, Mark Helfrich of Oregon, David Shaw of Stanford and Gary Patterson of TCU -- were coordinators promoted from within. Only one, Bob Stoops of Oklahoma, was a coordinator hired from another school (The other five coaches in the top 10 had been head coaches at other schools, now that Mark Richt is active at Miami). Coincidence? Good sign for Helton?
