A few weeks ago, Carol Folt taped an interview with the “L.A. Times Today” show on Spectrum 1. The showed aired last night. I don’t get that channel but here’s the money quote:
“I think Coach Helton understands the expectations for winning but he also is building the character of those students so I feel like they’ve (Helton, Mike Bohn) got the right goals.”
So it’s another mealy-mouthed answer about how Helton understands, just like he has the past 2 years, and really it’s more about character and integrity.
Got it?

Folt —like all genuine losers —consistently falls back on non measurables to prove her point. Helton’s record against the big boys (Notre Dame, Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State) is for shit. You can’t begin to justify keeping him by appealing to the measurables. So…. trot out the non meaurables —his compassion, his goodness, his integrity, blah, blah, blah. I don’t know how many empty words come out of Folt’s mouth per minute –she talks fast —but all the empty words in the world can’t change the fact that Helton blew the Pac 12 South, blew the Holiday Bowl (big time) and blew recruiting (as badly as you can blow it).

Just look at the lack of discipline on the team, which is Clay Helton’s job to build, and you have your answer on his character development. As the parent of three very successful and productive children, I would not send my son to be coached by him. As others have starting last year, they gave opted for a different character development. Words mean nothing. Action means everything. There is no sound, reasonable, logical basis for her decision.

Agree, and another reason for anyone not to send their son to be coached by Helton is player safety. They are not being coached at a high level.
Just look who he had coaching the offensive line for 2 years – Neil Callaway, a guy so completely burned out that he could barely get through a 5 minute TV interview. And the performance is not much better now, given all the injuries to QBs and RBs.
Markese Stepp can only carry 5 guys with him for so long before he ruptures a lumbar disc or has some other serious injury.

Carol Folt misses the point.
Long before she came to USC, there were hundreds of thousands of USC alums who had good character and were good people. Many of those were even USC football players.
USC doesn’t need a good character coach as an example. USC has been putting good character people in to the world for decades.
For Folt to think that a good character head coach will uplift the rest of the university without winning is an insult to the millions of Trojans who became good people without having to look at the USC head football coach.

Trojan1967,
My opinion has always been that USC fans wanted to move on from Helton no matter who they hired as a replacement. Even if it wasn’t Urban Meyer, I think USC fans wanted change. Too bad Folt didn’t recognize that because you’re right, there are others not named Urban who could have been chosen to replace Helton. And they would have been decent men.

In my opinion, marvienna, this is the best damn response to Folt’s bullshit that’s been written. Helton hasn’t had any fewer liars, trouble makers or screw ups on his teams than any other (more successful) Trojan coach. And this is his big selling point? Give us all a break, Folt. The more this broad (is the word ‘broad’ okay, Joan?) talks, the dumber she sounds. Given her penchant for soft conclusions and evasionary small talk, you really have to wonder how Folt is gonna handle the Big Stuff coming down the road….

Building the character or teaching them to lie? Helton lies on a daily basis about his program and recruits see through it. What character are they learning from Helton?
Maybe we are not understanding that she is using the other definition of character – “a person in a novel, play, or movie”. This would make more sense, because in this case, Helton could teach the players how to act like things that are not real are real. So he is teaching his players to act like they are disciplined and like they practice and like they could actually get invited to the CFP. As an aside, did anyone else see those promotional videos they put out last year where Helton acted real tough and mean?
It feels like Folt is President Clinton when he he rationalized his actions with Monica Lewinsky by claiming “it depends on what the meaning of is is”.
Retaining Clay as head coach has forced both Bohn and Folt to lie on an almost daily basis. Glad to see that integrity coming from the top down.

Anyone who wants to measure Helton’s “character building” needs to check out Michael Pittman’s (non) answers to questions after the Holiday Bowl. He repeatedly avoids having to say that the team wasn’t prepared — just as countless other players have done over Helton’s failed tenure (with the notable exception of Cameron Smith –who told reporters that there’s something seriously wrong about the way Helton approaches team discipline). It’s pretty obvious that the “moral lesson” that Helton’s taught the team is “I’ll keep covering for you if you keep covering for me.”…..

Folt and Bohn are hypocrites. They preach integrity and character, yet do not practice it themselves.
Helton’s disingenuousness is sickening. Why doesn’t the sports media call him out on this? They keep on saying what a great guy he is – he is not great at all. He’s a con-man of the highest order making $3mm+ for scamming the school and football program.
Proof of the above is in recruiting – these “kids” see right through him – they know they will NOT be developed at SC let alone be in the conversation for a NATY let alone win one with Helton as coach.
Gonna be another long stretch before this ship is righted.
