University Of Spin Controllers

I hear from a USC assistant that Clay Helton tried to convince Jack Sears to remain with the team after he said he would transfer.

Of course he did. What happens if JT Daniels gets hurt and then Kedon Slovis/Matt Fink struggle? Helton needs a QB.

Remember last year, USC lost its two top quarterbacks for a game. And Sears nearly rescued USC vs. Arizona State.

So Helton was protecting himself.

Besides Helton, Graham Harrell has not covered himself in glory going along with the company line that Sears was the fourth-best QB on the team.

Maybe USC stands for University of Spin Controllers.

  2. What makes me sick is hearing the narrative of Sears being “4th string.”
    Pudly, I hope you and all of your Liberace boy toys enjoy getting blown (my bad, I should know better) out. At some point this team will quit on Helton.

      1. I hope Sears told Helton et al. to go pound sand. But just in case he didn’t…

        Hey Pudly, it’s time for your casting call as “Julian” in the remake of the movie Less than Zero.

  3. May USC go 3-9, beating Stanford, nd, and Thug U aka ruinville, aka feces u. May Swann, Helton, and Penergast be led to the door never to return. May SC hire a real AD, like and have them hire Jack Del Rio as the head coach, Tedford as the oc and Kris Richard as the dc. Now, you have a coaching staff.

    1. I’d take any of the three guys you mentioned as a head coach, but only two have SC connections so………………

    1. Isn’t that what Gomer has Pudly for?

      Pudly’s job security in jeopardy…time for Helton to stop screwing up, for Pudly’s sake.

      Pudly could be assed out. He might have to end up fisting himself.

      2. The following is an excerpt from a recent phone conversation between Helton and Pudly…

        Helton: “I had to make up bullshit about Sears being 4th string and run him out because I promised his dad that he was our guy”.

        Pudly:: “You.re right, Clay”

        Helton: “We don’t need to practice in pads because Utah’s defensive line won’t use us like tackling dummies.”

        Pudly: “You’re right, Clay.”

        Helton: “Pudly, you seem to know everyone at this bathhouse.”

        Puddly: “You’re right, Clay”

  6. Its all funny. I know some high school coaches here in Orange County who claim Sears was the better high school quarterback instead of Daniels

      1. karma —By all accounts Harrell is running the practices and he’s getting the offense pumped up for the game. The only way Helton can screw it up is by calling time outs on Saturday and giving the offense too much face time with their head coach…..
        btw —did you know that Sears was going to get zero reps if he stayed with the team? Zero. What self respecting player could live with that? What self respecting coach could do that to a player of Sears’ talent and say he “loved” him?

      2. The only reason Harrell would run the offense is because Gomer has no clue as to how it works. Tedford is smarter than either Gomer or Harrell, he has less talent but I wouldn’t be surprised if Fresno won

        Gomer really screwed Sears over, hope the kid lands with a good program and a coach who will coach him up

    2. True, jim. But Harrell should have extracted certain promises before he signed on the dotted line. The way it is now, Helton can ruin Harrell’s reputation by second guessing Harrell on EVERYTHING…..

  9. Looking forward to do his usual hand motion with his hands to come over to the sidelines during a timeout so he can speak to them before screwing up the next play

      1. MG,
        Somewhere over at Pendleton the guys have an expression for a ‘Coach Helton’ type. They call him Colonel.
        If you have ever listened to a ‘Colonel’ speak out his caboose for 30 seconds & have guys on the front line start rolling their eyes, you’ll understand.
        A lot of drama for a college football team.

      3. What was the tag at the end of “Animal House” for the screwy ROTC guy? Was it “killed by his own troops”?…
