They should have fired Pat Haden.

He just gave the job to the interim coach.
 
So. Freaking. Stupid.

They actually COULD give it to anyone they want! RIDICULOUS. I feel sorry for USC fans
 
Waiting for Chip next year imo
 
I won't condemn it without knowing how players have reacted to him. USC has been just short of a dumpster fire for a while now, considering the talent they've had, and Helton came straight in and won the division with a team that appeared to be headed for Gailey-level mediocrity.

If the players have bought in, I'm okay with it. It can allow you to have the best of both worlds in terms of maintaining some continuity while still changing faces to generate excitement.
 
People were equally negative when Clemson removed the interim tag from Dabo Swinney, and I'd say that one worked out pretty well.

While that would likely create another dynasty, there's no guarantee that will happen. What if Philly goes on a run next season and he stays?

Then they won't really be any worse off than they are now.

Well, having a good recruiter at HC and paying more than almost anyone in the country for coordinators has worked out pretty well.

Umm...that's kind of the job of the head coach. MOST head coaches don't try to run the offense or the defense.

I hope it works out well for Helton too, but from the perspective of USC, they just hired someone with little HC experience based on a few games. That's unnecessary risk when you can first shoot for established coaches out there, hopefully those without alcohol problems.
 
Helton is a 3 time interim now and he's improved his team's play each time after the coach left. Not Whittingham, but an SC guy.
 
To be honest, I didn't realize how many times this actually worked really well:

@paulmyerberg
List of active P5 HCs promoted within staff: Dabo, Jimbo, Gundy, Patterson, Holgo, Cubit, Claeys, Fitz, Helfrich, Shaw, Whittingham, Helton.

Jimbo was hired specifically to replace Bobby.

and I'm pretty sure he just created these three names out of thin air: Holgo, Cubit, Claeys
 
I wish to hell GT had been this stupid to hire Mac instead of that ego turd ccg!

But we are too smart for that.
 
I'm seeing some rumors of Fedora possibly going to USCe. Of all the possible SEC schools above Vanderbilt, wouldn't going from UNC to USCe be a lateral move at best?
 
I really hope Haden also paid six figures for an executive search firm, just to walk down the hall.
