When I think about Clay Helton firing 13 assistant coaches, it reminds me when Rams coach John Robinson fired six assistant coaches after the 1990 season.

Goux laughed and said, “John couldn’t fire me.” I … Continue reading Not Every Coach Fires Every Assistant
Some USC supporters are so starved for positive news that they are celebrating today the fact the football program hired a graphic design manager! And they stole him from Oregon!
