A USC source texted me that they expect Clay Helton to be fired tonight or Monday morning and that the terms of his departure are being worked out. I have not confirmed this with other sources. Sports Illustrated reported this morning it expects Helton to be fired by Monday. But . . . Pete Thamel of Yahoo sports tweeted the report is wrong. “Just spoke … Continue reading Clay Helton’s Fate Is On Fire

Here is what I know: Someone who works in the athletic dept. told me if they had to bet, they would bet on Clay Helton coming back next season. A USC assistant coach said they were bracing for the worst today and did not have a good feeling about how things would turn out.

That would make it easier to remove Helton because USC will not be in the Pac-12 title game. A USC coach I spoke to Friday believes Sunday will be D-Day for … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Only One Game Today
