More Coaching Intrigue

I’m told some USC assistant coaches have been told one-year contracts will be offered for next season. This leads to speculation that all bets are off after next season. Remember, Clancy Pendergast received a multi-year deal when he was hired by Clay Hellton.

      • I would add that the coach I was most doubtful of in January, 2016, Nansen, also had a good unit despite losing Gustin,

        Wole and Murphy being listed as #2s and being virtual no-shows in 2017 is suspect, but the LBs offered 2 of our most-reliable players (3, with Gustin).

        BKU also did pretty well, considering he lost two NTs.

        • The defense will definitely be the strength of the team to start the season next year until the offense can develop with a new QB

  1. What’s a top coordinator worth in college football today, not saying he’s a top coordinator

  2. With JDR now sitting at the McKay Center.. Helton and staff are officially on suicide watch.

  3. So we have an uncorroborated story that SOME (but not all?) coaches will be offered 1 year contracts next season (this year). And the reporter and some of his ilk hope that means an end for the head coach?
    What I see in this story is business as usual. SOME of the coaches didn’t pull their weight last season. They got lucky by way of a few talented and lucky players and came away with 11 wins. Nobody gets fired for winning 11 games, even at USC. So maybe, just maybe this is a way to say; ” shape up or ship out and if you don’t like the prospects don’t let the door hit you on your bruin on your way out.”

    • Guest, I am convinced SW has no idea what he is talking about. To me, it just reads like “FAKE NEWS” coming from a Hater.

  4. The problem with the coaching is that they are blind. Helton did not see any problem all seasons, and actually thought the team was getting better. He even thought they were better than last season’s team. “None is as blind as he who will not see”.
