I got a call in the middle of Signing Day from a former USC All-American, who told me, “The recruits are screaming (out) and USC’s administration is not listening.”
That sums it up. Recruits are fleeing Southern California and Clay Helton offers spin while the administration pretends like nothing is wrong.
- Meanwhile, no one I spoke to yesterday or today believes USC will have the gall to stage a recruiting dinner in February. But this is USC so you never know.
- I wrote back on Nov. 5 that Carol Folt was not budging on hiring Urban Meyer. I heard this morning a USC mega-donor was willing to pay off Clay Helton’s contract if USC hired Meyer and Folt refused. “She didn’t want to be attached in any way to Meyer,” the source said.

According to charter of the university, the BOT hires the President and the president hires the AD and the AD hires the Football Head Coach. Fans have no say in who gets hired or fired!
Everything was done according to charter (highest governing law of the university) Don’t be like the democrats trying to undo duly hired official of the university!

04 —USC’s REACTION to the sanctions (“Okay —if that’s the way you want it, we’ll go along!”) was worse than the sanctions themselves and signaled weakness and stupidity at the top.

If true about Folt refusing to hire Meyer, then Bohn made a deal with the devil. He went to the podium at the presser and flatly stated that there were no constraints on whom he could hire.
Caruso is the puppeteer here. Hiring a woman prez, fresh after she was fired at UNC, was a stroke of genius by him. She has to make the BOT happy. She can’t afford to be fired again.

This is 100% Caruso. He is a buddy of the hollywood liberal elites and has ambitions in politics, so he can be seen allowing Urban Meyer to become the football coach. Even though Urban has great integrity, the way he handled that one problem with the assistant coach (which he apologized for and even though he followed proper protocol by reporting it) makes him toxic to a liberal mindset.
Folt is just a puppet. Students are not happy with the tone deaf response regarding the 9 student deaths in the past semester, among other things.
Will Bohn maybe resign? Or is the recruiting ranking, along with a loss in the next bowl game, going to finally push out Clay? Did Bohn demand the right to fire Clay after the bowl game? or will replacing Clancy be enough to appease some boosters?
The dumpster fire at USC just gets worse and worse. That is what happens when you hire a President who cant lead, but can only take orders from the chair of the BOT.
The control freak(s) on the BOT need to hire leaders, not puppets.

And Helton is clearing the table at the bottom by bringing in lousy recruiting classes. The Administration knows this. It is sort of interesting that Harrell’s new contract runs the life of Helton’s contract. Is this a coincidence?

Folt is a bureaucrat. Quite a few folks on the various sites don’t seem to know or accept what that means.
If she hires Meyer…….and he does well……she enjoys the games but Bohn hired him and gets the atta boys. She gets is a few extra dollars for the endowment. Very low reward for the risk.
If he does something stupid…..she becomes the dummy that hired a wife beater enabler and helped him pull another boner in an era of no second chance by the fascists. She gets booted…….and loses her lucrative salary and position. Probably have a tough time getting another job.
Bureaucrats always take the choice that protects their salary and position.
If a bureaucrat was running WW2 we’d still be fighting our way across France.
Bottom line……all USC means to her is a job and her salary. The university and doing what is right……..that’s a TV show that has a happy ending. Does not happen in real life.

I understand the anguish of SC fans. I have been a big fan since OJ played there. I do agree with the lack of discipline and the stupid penalties for the current team. The defense does need a change! However, the fact is, the kids that passed on SC this year had a good reason. THEY were not good enough to play right away. The Trojans are stacked at every position but Oline. I too am not convinced Helton is the coach to take them to the promised land but I believe he deserves one more chance. Having said that, changes need to be made on defense. They are very good at times and mediocre at times. Need to be solid for 4 quarters.
