As Clay Helton zeroes in on hiring a head strength coach, another interviewed candidate is out of the running.
Interim strength coach Keith Belton, who’s been leading USC’s offseason workout program in the wake of Ivan Lewis’ departure for the Seahawks, is no longer under consideration for the permanent job, sources say.
I’m told that an assistant from an SEC program is one of the primary candidates, and that Helton could be making a decision soon. He told me last week he would have the hire addressed before the beginning of spring practice, which is tentatively scheduled for March 5.
