will most likely be Usc's next coach if we beat Ucla on Saturday. That's the word among those that know people high up in the administration and Board. He's still the front runner if USC makes the Pac 12 championship game.
I know no one wants to believe this is true. I know everyone wants to believe we are getting some big name coach. We went through this the last two coaching searches. People love to speculate and they love to create pie in the sky scenarios, but there are too many signals and too much past precedent to ignore what HH wants to do with this hire. And that is to hire Clay Helton which they will explain as a need for stability and continuity in the program which hasn't been there for years. That plan took a hit against Oregon but all it takes is a win against Ucla to "turn the news cycle" and provide a "Helton accomplished or goal of winning the Pac 12 South" narrative to justify the hire.
Remember this is the same crew that against all the other desired coaches the fan base and others wanted, unilaterally went out and brought in their buddy, Steve Sarkisian. They don't care what you want. They don't care what you think. They don't care what the media says. This is their show and they will do what they want.
If Helton beats Ucla, he will be the front runner. Embrace the terror. Long live the Lane Kiffin coaching tree.
