Its only his third year and they were good his first 2 seasons. It was clearly a rebuilding year. They have plenty of recruits. You give him one more year IMO. Coaches don't want to work for ADs who fire coaches after 2-3 years.
Yes but there are already a couple of decommitments and some players may transfer. Two games in a row they couldn’t score in the 2H and this is when Clay Helton took over as playcaller for good. He demoted Tee Martin. He just got schooled by Chip Kelly and there is absolutely no juice in the program. I’ve heard that current players are telling other recruits to not come to USC. After his latest Monday meeting with Swann he wasn’t as gung-ho and confident with the media when they met him on Tues after practice and asked about his job security. He didn’t mention the “I’m going to be coaching here for 15 years” lunacy like he said on either Sat or Sun.
Swann ideally would not want to do anything but his hand has been forced. The fan base is irate and all you see at games now are Fire Helton signs and person after person going up to Swann and offering coaching suggestions, lol. I have also heard that a couple of major boosters are threating pulling out of a couple of huge promise$ if he stays on. If not for the medical lawsuits and such on campus he would be done already but I’m 99% sure he’s fired at some point after the season.
Darnold masked a lot of issues. And for the last time posters need to stop talking about their success lately. It’s the PAC-12 South. Garbage. You should be in the Top 4 discussion every year playing in this league with the fourth most 4/5* guys on rosters in college football. Any time Helton and USC face a top coach or name program especially OOC they are completely outclassed and embarrassed.
