I will be on Petros and Money (570-AM) around 2:45 p.m. (PT) to discuss the on-going Clay Helton saga. Meanwhile, I’ve heard USC president Carol Folt say when dealing with scandal, you attack it head-on and confront it. Clay Helton’s coaching might not be a scandal, but you need to deal with it. Folt seems to be a take-charge president. I don’t think it’s a … Continue reading What Is Carol Folt’s Role?

If USC actually keeps Clay Helton, it’s absurd that it is still waiting to announce it. What recruit would be dumb enough to commit when the A.D. doesn’t even act like he wanted to keep Helton? It is 12 p.m. and nothing has happened yet. I can’t say this makes Mike Bohn look decisive.

Washington coach Chris Petersen has decided to step down and will assume a position in a “leadership advisory role for Husky Athletics.” Defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake will become the Huskies’ new coach.

Here’s what a member of the Board of Trustees told me Sunday night. “I’ve had enough (of Clay Helton).” But the trusteee added this: “I do not want USC to hire Urban … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Something Needs To Happen Today

Some USC officials were supposedly irritated today they had to deal with a report saying Clay Helton had been fired. Well, guess what, many USC fans have been irritated for the past two seasons. I’ve been irritated for longer than that with the sloppiness that surrounds the program. Texas coach Tom Herman said today in a statement, “7-5 will never be our standard at Texas.” … Continue reading USC Cannot Accept 8-4, Right?

You might have heard USC has a team meeting at 5:30 p.m. I’m told it was scheduled to discuss bowl plans and there is also a barbecue afterward. Plus, athletic director Mike Bohn is out of town. Now, anything can happen at USC, but Sunday meetings are not unusual. But of course, I will monitor it, just in case. Continue reading Yes, USC Does Have A Team Meeting
