The harsh truth is they should have got rid of Clay Helton years ago.
Helton is the brown noser for the USC board and trustees . He does exactly what they want and thus keeps his acting job.
The way this program was progressing during the 2004, 05, 06 Seasons, EVERYONE truly believed that there would be no end in sight to their dominance. They were Alabama BEFORE Alabama.
In reality, it was basically just 3 unbelievable Recruiting Classes in a row who did most of the winning in those years. After they left, and after the NCAA dropped the Hammer on USC for major rules violations, it all ended almost immediately.
As things stand right now, Los Angeles and California in general are not nearly as desirable a destination anymore.
As a life long Notre Dame fan, I NEVER count the Trojans out... they absolutely WILL be back eventually.
However, I don't think they will be a Top 4/Playoff Team for at least a few years.
I just know this:
Teams had better enjoy this current low point that USC has been experiencing (a 2 loss season is a disappointment for USC! THAT is the kindof program they are), because once they get back on track, they will be unstoppable again.
The penalties against USC for Reggie were so unbelievably corrupt and heavy handed. Cam Newton, Manziel…nothing. Sandusky…nothing. Not all the same cases, but no one gets in trouble for shit these days, let alone 30 scholarships.
Don’t forget 02’ and 03’ - Palmer days. Victory over Mich is Rose Bowl was the start to a dynasty. A dynasty the SEC and NCAA clearly didn’t want.
@@Rideacapitaa Yeah, it seems that around every 20 to 25 years or so, the NCAA chooses a target to absolutely obliterate with fines, penalties, and unlimited embarrassment through the media.
They wait until so many Programs are out of control, they make an example of 1 of the more prominent Teams in the Country, while simultaneously ignoring every other School.
It really doesn't seem to matter to the NCAA _what_ the infractions are, just that the Program they choose to destroy is popular enough, AND is usually in the midst of dominating the rest of the College Football world.
I am a life long Notre Dame fan, and I do not hate USC.
I dislike them on Game Day against the Irish, for sure, but never an outright hatred. Even during those unparalleled dominant years, the "Bush Push", the National Championships, etc...
I have a healthy respect for the Trojans.
What the NCAA did to them was a f*cking embarrassment. Looking around at all of the other programs that were not only breaking *multiple* rules, they were doing it BRAZENLY!
He'll, look at Florida during that exact same time period!
How many were arrested...? 44?!?
I mean, FFS!
Anyway, it's USC. The rest of the College Football world better enjoy these years that they aren't still dominating, because it really is just a matter of time.
It will take just 1 Recruiting Class...
Just 1.
Then, when that Class performs exceedingly well, then more and more Recruits will once again flock to Southern Cal.
The only other thing I can really think that USC might need is a true, Superstar Coach.
It will happen.
Just a matter of time.
@@williamherman9065 USC's board and trustees decided that wont pay for a legit coaching staff to become a playoff contender. Besides a legit head coach USC would need the Assist coaches. This Air raid nonsense is a gimmick as it looks exciting t osell tickets but in reality its jump ball insuring losses.
Insuring loses means USC's board knows there going to lose but need a gimmick to sell tickets to the fans.
Usc won’t do shit until clay Helton is gone
Be Positive #Fighton
Positive? It's called realistic
Helton wins.
We should have kept Steve Sarkisian, we could have swept his drinking under the rug. If they would have held on to him he would have gotten the program better over time unlike helton who has been stagnant or even worse than stagnant at times. Not much growth at all in helton's tenure. Really sad.
@@garymoore3384 he wasn’t a good head coach
USC hasn't been the same since the NCAA laid the hammer on them years ago.
wait what happened
@@knanzee593 look up the whole Reggie bush thing but they got the death penalty I believe or damn near close to it for paying players and a bunch of other stuff
Reggie Bush being ineligible player in 05. He was getting paid. Pete Carroll jumped back to the NFL. He had to give the NCAA back his Hiesman. They were put on probation No Bowl games
@@jacksonbuffington8067 OJ Mayo too even though he played basketball
@@jacksonbuffington8067 lol, that wasn't the death penalty. The death penalty was SMU back in the day. What they got wasn't worse than what Penn St got. The true problem was Pete Carroll leaving and yall making consecutive dumbass coaching hires.
USC isn't going to do anything under Helton. He's entering his 6th year and all he has to show for is 1 bowl win and 1 conference championship. Any other blue blood would have fired him long ago. He keeps raving about welcoming the expectations of championships and the standards but he continues to fail miserably. He won't step down as coach because he knows no one will hire him other than Western Kentucky where his brother is head coach and their dad is an offensive analyst. Helton has never been known as a great play caller nor as a quarterback developer so why should teams want to hire him? No teams wanted him after the 2017 season when they went 11-3 which led to a ludicrous extension given by Swann. People can rave about the 5-1 record that they had but had they played their full schedule from 2020, they would have went 8-4 with blowout losses to Alabama, Oregon and Notre Dame.
The reason why we haven’t fired him is because of the big contract that he has but trust me every USC fan wants him gone including me
All he does is win. See you in December. Go root for Stanford.
@@DrBarnes1 No that’s not all he does is win. He would be a decent offensive coordinator at most other programs - Mediocre head coach anywhere. We lose teams like BYU because we downright get outcoached. Save that bull crap
@@DrBarnes1 so winning 1 bowl game and 1 conference championship in 6 years is winning? Yeah go root for another team sport
@@sector783 he's not a decent offensive coordinator. He's a terrible one. Can't develop quarterbacks and isn't a great play caller.
USC used to be the bama in the pac12 but they wont get back there until Clay leaves
Oregon and Washington have stolen a lot of their thunder, but USC does not face either North power.
USC and Bama are apples and oranges different as USC is a private institute that went out and found kids smart enough to make grades and play USC ball while Bama's academic standards are considerably less like 4th grade add the pictures of the quarter dime and nickel and your get a scholarship. Bama actually had two D line man that spelled Cat KAT and still got scholarships
@@jimbo4612 Much of the SEC (except Vandy) does not have the same academics of other schools. However, not all of USC's great players were Einsteins. It is still possible to produce with good academics (Stanford, Notre Dame, Michigan, NW, UNC are examp,es), but you have to have good coaching. There have not been the John Robinsons or Pete Carrol,s on the sidelines recently. I think cfb is better when USC has a greatvproram - some wonderful traditions there (and I say that as a UM alum who lost 6 Rose Bowls to the Trojans - and only 2 wins - plus 2 regular season wins in AA in the 1950s. When I lived in LA, I went to several USC games. At Alabama and a few other SEC schools it is all football, and nothing else matters. Maybe, you should compare film schools or law schools with Alabama! LOL!
@@jdhjimbo Regarding blueblood programs, USC has been missing from the NCAA college football national title hunt for some time and yes CFB is lesser for it. Also would agree USC has snuck in some less than scholar athletes however the admissions are still fairly hard for most the athletes. USC and the term Communications major would be a good topic of discussion. Most kids wont go pro nor be broadcasters when finished playing sports. While both blue bloods USC is just a different program than Alabama . Surprisingly Alabama is ranked #25 in law school while USC is ranked #19 Film school however Yes!!! Alabama better spend some more time in the classroom .
@@jimbo4612 Yes, the overall student body at USC has very good credentials (dated a graduate many years ago, and knew a member of the tennis team, also. USC has sent more athletes to the Olymlics than any school (Michigan is 5th behind the 4 CA Pac 12 schools), and usually finishes in top 10 in Lear Cup (all men's & women's sports), butvlike Michigan, the football has been off the past 12 years or so - not awful, but not nationally relevant. The school is not in the best area of LA, but has a lot to be proud of! Fight 9n! (I am surprised the Alabama Law School is rated that high. Other than UCLA, not sure who would have a great film school besides USC. My friends in Ohio have a daughter that graduated from there and has a good job in production in the industry now, and loves it. Two of my bosses in the property might biz (R&B dba Oakwood Apts) were big USC alums, so it was fun to go to games with them during my 13 years in Cali - even those tough Rose Bowl losses by UM in 1977 and 1979. Good luck this year! However, I think the Trojans can do much better than Helton.
Staring receivers will be drake London, Gary Bryant jr, Kyle Ford, and taj Washington
Yeah it’s a shame Bru threw away his career
@@TheSportsandFilmFellowship what happened?
@@8MoneyIzmyMission8 He got arrested, something to do with his GF

Tahj*
It would be really dope if you did score predictions when going through the schedule. It would be tough but it would be cool to see how you think the defensive and offense would play against each team.
Love your videos
I hope this is Heltons last season. Praying for Luke Fickell or Matt Campbell as the next head coach (was hoping Urban Meyer but he’s in Jacksonville now)
Campbell ain’t coming he just got an 8 year extension
Lol an extension nvr stopped anyone from leaving. Especially if Notre Dame comes calling (campbell’s dream school) or the right nfl team comes calling
& with big 12’s future in doubt, Iowa st might not get into a power “4” conference if big 12 does dissolve
our best prospect was let go last year in Urban Meyer. We are not serious about football excellence anymore until a new regime is installed in Bovard.
@@scottdaloisio7904 If he goes anywhere, it will bexto Michigan to replace Harbaugh.
@@scottdaloisio7904 that means nothing wouldn’t be the first time a coach left after getting an extension
You guys are still getting good recruits but it's not showing on the field can't believe Helton is still there
All the big time talent that played for USC you would think one would come back and maybe turn things around Pete Carroll maybe a option soon
Alabama is getting there 5 star players now In there back yard College football would be better if USC is a top 5 team we need balance tired of seeing the same teams win
If they go 9-3 with losses to @ND. @ASU & @ Cal, Helton should start packing his bags.
That's a good year I mean you guys expect these guys to go undefeated there are other teams in the pac12 this isnt the Pete Carroll era USC has been obsolete like most programs on the west coast for a while it doesnt matter how prestigious or how much money you make if you cant win you have to accept it big time programs fall off it happens 9-3 is a step in the right direction but it's that line of thinking which give rises to programs downfall for years last year was a nightmare so I dont even think that should be brought up you dominated in the early 2000s there are other prestigious programs that hasnt won a title in 20 years if not ever Oklahoma had down years before it happens just like they will eventually be back
@@MentalOutlvl6 That's a good year for many programs, but not for USC. USC fans...and rightfully so expect to not only win the PAC 12 year in & year out but also be significant on the National stage. For many other programs being in the Top 25 is fantastic, but for USC being in the Top 10 is EXPECTED every year. We are in one of the most talent rich areas in the country & are THE football program in the area & arguably the West Coast. Ask fans of OU, Clemson, Alabama, OSU, etc if their team was 9-3 if they would be happy...of course not. It's expectations & yes, USC fans expect to be in the Top 5-10 every year.
@@fanman71 I mean I'm sure texas would love to be 9-3 I mean that's how Nebraska went down hill fired a guy who went 9-3 and been a dumpster fire since
@@MentalOutlvl6 No, not really. Texas fans aren't happy w/ 9-3 every year. They expect Big 12 titles. As they should. Just because a program struggles doesn't me they should accept mediocrity every year, especially the blue bloods. Yes, some programs do worse when they fire someone that goes 8-4/9-3 annually, but there are also ones that have gotten better when they let the coach go as well.
@@fanman71 the same was true for many schools like pitt Tennessee michigan the point people fail to understand that leads to unrealistic expectations which leads to guys getting fired prestige doesnt win titles coaches dont win them players do and obviously it takes years to build a program capable of competing every year I mean it was acceptable 10 years ago now I mean by the time you get guys in who you want in the system social media wants you gone and the realistic part 90 percent of those guys dont understand what goes into that and covid was just a situation the ncaa wasn't prepared for so in all honesty that year should have a asterisk by it because I mean if you got 6 starters out with covid you got 2nd stringers in and dont get me wrong usc has had down years idk how old you are but usc was kind of mediocre before Pete carroll Alabama even lost to Louisiana monroe and honestly the pac12 is down so you have a opportunity udub is been down in recent years oregon is okay stanford is okay the conference is pretty wide open if you can win on the road I'm sure the colleseum is still loud and rocking and a tough place to play at the very least if he goes 9-3 and beats ucla and is in the top 15 he shouldn't get fired but it depends on the relationship with the ad behind the scenes that plays s big part
USC problem is their Oline...games are won in the trenches and they got no dawgs up front
This guy gets it. USC has championship talent at the skill positions but the lines have not been good in a very long time.
@@aroncampos5720 clay helton is the best 3 star oline recruiter ever. He puts no emphasis on oline play. He doesnt develop any of the talent here. Hes a joke of a coach. Idc how good of a man he is, we need a coach who will coach these young men up.
Helton made a mistake going air raid because the air raid has no history of getting guys drafted in the 1st round. He essentially set his offensive line to be the talent of an air raid team and that is a bunch of 3☆.
@@greg7964 Einstein Said " The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results". Helton's football logic is insane
I truly believe this is all about to change.
as a usc fan, they won’t make it to the cfp purely because the commission doesn’t want them there
Ain't that the truth. And look how the PAC 12 treats those who aren't USC, UO, Washington, ect.
I'm a Cal fan, but USC switching to a spread offense is one of the weirder changes imo. USC always built success off a dominating and physical run game. They could grind you down with their quality depth. Going to a spread signals you can't control the line of scrimmage anymore. We went spread and it negatively effected our defense (Sonny Dykes). Your team spends all year defending themselves in a spread and I think you lose an edge of being a physical defense.
YESSIR TAHJ WASHINGTON. I hope he has a good season for his draft class to go up. He went to my highschool! Fast guy!!
I'll predict that Helton stays with a 9-3 season. If he does his usual 7-5, the answer is no.
Airing on the side of history is like thinking you can predict whether the banker or the player is going to win next in baccarat.
As far as I’m concerned any HC at sc that doesn’t go to a bowl game or losing season should be fired.
Especially sine the bowl bar of 6-6 is set so low.
I think they’ll fire Helton unless he’s in the playoff. Also I think they regress as a program after the firing him not progress because I really don’t think he’s that bad, I just think they have unrealistic expectations this ain’t the early 2000s anymore and when your outside of the southeast it’s harder to recruit consistently (unless your Ohio state) .
What team should I do next?
LSU or Minnesota
Minnesota
PSU
Hey! USC fan. We invested so much money in our coach that we had to wait several years. This is the yr we can lose him if we stink up the place
This might be the year we play up to our talent
Oh how times have changed 🙂
I want to know how you think south carolina will do with the new coaching squad this year
The other USC.
I'm from california how do I which the Trojans in teaxas can someone help me I hate the longhonds so I don't which football here in midland,tx ?
Usc doesn’t return all 11 starters on defense lol they lost OG talanoa and marlon T
Should have fricking kept Coach O
Coach O is not a good coach. He got incredibly lucky with the 2019 team and won’t get near the playoffs again.
when all the stars align, ive always felt USC is the program with the greatest potential to dominate. they have a monopoly over one of the best recruiting beds in the country (whereas schools like bama still have to fight over big name programs to acquire the best talent in the south/florida). plus everyone wants to come play in LA and usc is a school that has it all... academics, social life, weather etc.
but this is not the year. with everything going for them, its unbelievable how much they underperform. this will be another one of those years.
Does Scott really read his comment because I left numerous comments on to a team preview on Texas
I read them!
You should do Oregon
Damn #6 can't catch simple lob pass why he on the team lol at 2:25.
As a USC fan we will be competitive in PAC-12 but the glory days of being a national powerhouse is over. I believe we will get there again, but man it's frustrating playing outside the conference the last 4 full season just being humiliated like we are some high school team to them. Respectively terrible losses to Iowa, Texas, Ohio State, and that ridiculous thrashing by Alabama. Somehow we did beat Penn State in a thriller during that run. Sure these are all elite powerhouse football programs and losing isn't the problem, well it obviously is, but we were not even competitive and mentally lost before the game even started.
Fight on! But how do you say somehow we beat Penn State? I will tell you how. It took Clay Hilton and his staff four or five games to figure out how to use that talent that they had. Once they did, they were a top-five team in the nation
do what happened to veron hargreaves
USC IS AMAZINGLY TALENTED BUT THERE COACHING WILL COST THEM THE BIG GAME IN THE PAC 12 TITTLE AS THEY WILL GO 10-2 AND GET UPSET BY OREGON
It wouldn’t be an upset. Oregon runs USC for the last 2 years going on 3 IMO. They have out done USC in recruiting going on 4 years in a row, they have the better overall coaching staff, and are better in the trenches. Plus the last 2 times Oregon has played USC it has been at USC and Oregon has beaten them in those last two meetings a combined 87-48. Oregon is most definitely the better overall roster in the pac and games are won and lost in the trenches and Oregon most definitely has the edge there. This is all just my opinion though.
Losing to Oregon will NOT be an upset!
How will USC do in 2021?
@@ucladodgerfan246 I hope UCLA does terrible this year .
7-5 record
USC projected to go 11-1 this year with that lost coming against Notre Dame
@@howru2055
You've very good reasons to believe that usc is projected to go 11-1 !
The problem with USC-CH , they have tendency to disappoint 😕!.
@@mohammedalmaamari4333 they do but have you seen our schedule it’s mostly all against schools that we’ve beaten already last year the only team on that schedule that does have our number is Notre Dame
Don’t bring up that Utah game last year. USC had 2 games under their belt. That was Utah’s first game of the season. Their number one QB went down in practice and had to use their back-up on short notice. This time will be different
Who the hell is Utah? Last year was a funky year for just about every single team and college football. Quit your crying
If SC loses to Cal Clay's ass is FIRED !!!
Biggest question is does President Folt & BOT want to be a National power? She turned away from booster clubs.
Regardless of whether Bru McCoy is charged he will likely not play this season. Worse yet, he may get kicked out of USC, although can’t say for sure :/
Hoping not
Let’s go USC!!
I am all about PAC 12 and bringing the power back west. I see bug names like DJ Ugaleilei and Bryce Young leaving west coast for the schools in the south and it pisses me off.
Sad what happened to Bru McCoy. Disappointed!!! But Drake London is the best WR in the country and Kedon should be great
I'm a USC fan and London isn't the best receiver in the country. That goes to Chris Olave at Ohio State
@@greg7964 forgot about him but Drake is just under him.
@Jay Mun shut up they Not as good as London. No matter what you say. I have eyes you know
@Jay Mun just use your eyes
@Jay Mun coming from the one Ohio state fan that thinks olave is a first round draft pick.
Does SC have enough OL talent/ability to protect Slovis?
Sadly no
NO ,USC in fact has to use a freshman as a starter Courtland Ford at right tackle
More than 2 losses and Helton is fired
can you do LSU please
Jaxson Dart will start after week 4
10.5 100 meter speed for Dart and Slow-vis runs a 40 close to 5.0 plus SLOW-vis is beat up with lasting injuries'
They need to get rid of Helton and throw out that high school offense and Kedon Slovis is a product of that offense he will do fine against second tier teams but Notre Dame and Utah and Oregon if they make it to the championship game are going to be a problem for him.
Many Trojan wanted Myers for head coach. Alumni millionaires wanted to buy out Helton's contract. New Pres Folt and AD refuse to replace him because of past OTHER University scandals. Every year, GREAT talent. SC needs to return to Pete's years of being #1 nationally. Alabama should not dominate. College Fans want SC back. Oregon's AD upgraded football. Helton is great mentor, but cannot prepare players for NFL. Not fair to players or fans.
USC"S Defense is improved however Clay Helton is still trying to play college football without a legitimate offensive line. The Depth charts this year also includes a freshman starting at (RT) Courtland Ford with several 3 star freshman filling in the depths. Kedon SLOW-ViS is also to slow with his 4.95 40 time, and no threat to run. Jaxson Dart USC's #2 QB actually has 10.5 100 speed .but Helton is to dumb to understand what this means. Helton played Browne over Sam Darnold as a reference as to Helton's QB IQ LEVEL, With Slow-vis, defenses will just use the extra D back and force SLOWVIS to throw picks. USC does has a talented Running core but simply cant utilize it. 65-70 passes a game= UTAH,ND,.ASU AND UCLA all giving USC trouble and USC faces a talented CAL team @ Berkeley . Cal is underrated and under the radar. USC will go likely go 8-4 and at best 9-3 if they get very lucky.
The Corna-tariansism in California hasn't helped either. Kids aren't going to want to play there and go to a free state.
There are the same boat as U-M bad A.D.'s & coaches.
Should of hired Herm Edwards. His energy would be perfect for them
He'll be available after he's scapegoated for recruiting violations at ASU
@@verlinjoseph5438 not sure even cheating his recruiting still kimda sucked. Need someone that can get USC back to getting top 5 clases like every year.
No should have hired Chris Peterson but dumbass Haden wanted to recreate the Carroll dynasty so he hired Sark
Coach has made some major moves this season...give him a break and let's see how the season plays out!!!
Only good comment so far. Fight on Sc✌🇺🇸
Agreed. A lot of Fairweather fans here. Fight On!
I have usc going 12 and 0 or 10 and 2
They have a easy schedule this year.
Jay Toia transferred to UCLA
Been a Trojan fan since my first time on campus in 1980. But I believe once again that this year’s team is overrated and the expectations are unreasonably high. There are no Ducks or Huskies in this year’s schedule. So even if they win the majority of their games, they’ll have no credibly within the PAC 12. I’m still firmly entrenched in the “Fire Clay Helton” camp. Pollsters will not respect this team and it won’t improve until he’s replaced.
No need to watch this video. When you said Gomer Helton is still the coach, enough said. "SC football...Weak, Tender and Clueless. Doing less with more!"
i think youre downplaying SC this year
No they will be terrible
A loss to To AZ state? Nope! A loss to Cal? Hell Nah! A loss to ND? 50/50 comes down to if we are healthy. Pac 12 championship we will likely be undefeated.
@@keithmorton6925 doubt it you need a James Franklin to recruit like a pig like USC used too. Need top 5 classes every year. Don't have talent or coaching staff like you used to.
Since when has USC ever been good under Helton? What all of the sudden is going to make them good while he is still head coach?
@@brettk9316 The only team that might be as talented as USC was during the glory days is Alabama. This year, we have the best quarterback in the pack 12. And there’s probably four receivers on this team that will be in the NFL. We were seven overall in recruiting along with landing the number one overall recruit on the D line. We are loaded in the secondary with four and five star recruits. Coaching is the issue. There is plenty of talent
DC Todd Orlando could "SAVE" HC Paris Helton's job, but at this point with so many 4-5 stars early departure for the NFL and so many key players gone, the Defensive Line will be the Achilles heel with DT Brandon Pili out for season and transfer DT ismael Sopher out for a while with injury in the spring and likely require surgery... With SO many key pieces gone, sorry to say but even DC Todd Orlando can't save this season or HC Paris Helton's job this year... Loser HC Paris Helton is definitely GONE during or after this season!! Helton should polish up his Resume so he'll find another job or the way USC overpaid him, He can retire "if" He wants to..
So that's a TON of BEEF cakes to replace in the Trenches: Jay Tufele, Marlon Tuipulotu, Connor Murphy, Celeb Tremblay, Jay Toia, etc...
USC Schedule looks easy without Alabama, Washington, Oregon on it, but it's actually very Tough!!
i see Several Losses here......
Loss * NOTRE DAME @ Notre Dame.......I'm sure Most will Agree here...
Loss * Colorado @ Colorado.........supposed to be PAC-12 South Champs but didn't have enuff players for the PAC-12 Championship Game vs OREGON so USC went instead of the Buffs. KARL DORRELL is GOOD!! Remember he UPSET Pete Carroll's #2 USC team(chance for NC game).....
Loss * UCLA.........will surprised most people with this pick but Chip Kelley doing good things over there.....
4th LOSS could come from ARIZONA, ARIZONA STATE, BYU, or CALI BEARS
given USC spent a LOT of Energy and Effort trying to beat Stanford and UTAH, and will prolly have a few key injuries to finish up the season with AZ, ASU, CAL, or BYU......
So, i have USC beating UTAH and STANFORD but lose a few players from a Thin Squad to injuries from those 2 Physical Teams....
Considering USC lost a lot of DL to Draft and transfer portal, Jay Tufele, Marlon Tuipulotu, etc...
And big loses from RB Markese Stepp, RB Stephen Carr, WR AmonRa StBrown, WR Tyler Vaughns, OL Vera Tucker, S Talanoa Huffanga, DB/CB Olaijah Griffin, DL Connor Murphy, LB Palaia Gaoteote, LB Malik McClain, WR Munir McClain, DL Celeb Tremblay, DL Jay Toia.....
Seeing how HC Paris Helton's "incompetence" at Developing 4-5 stars athletes, and this mass exodus of 4-5 stars players from 2021 will certainly play a key role in a LOSING SEASON!!
8-4 record or maybe 7-5......A lot of Starters/Backups gone, this very "THIN" group will be tested and STANFORD AND UTAH will certainly create some injuries within this very "THIN" group of guys...USC Backups are very inexperience, or NO game experience at all...
Mediocre-U.....sad my Trojans are thrash thanks to Helton
Watching the Trojans lose to Stanford tonight, 9/11/21, there is plenty of blame to go around. Yes, fire Helton. And the AD. We are a running-back school. Not a passing school. Sam-Bam is crying. Moreover, blame the egregious, outrageous NCAA penalties of 10 years ago. Blatantly unfair and motivated to destroy us, and now, measurably harmful
Vavae Malepeai gonna be the starter
You meant Stephen Carr!
The harsh truth? 4-8 this year, with 2 or 3 years to recover. Jesus.
Do CAL Football
Well, if USC had chose the coach I wanted (coach Orgeron) they'd be a much better team. But noooo... They wanted Steve sarkisian, which would eventually lead to the hiring of clay Helton. I have no major gripes with clay Helton other than he's better suited as a coordinator. Not all coordinators are meant to be head coaches. Steve sarkisian, lane kiffin, clay Helton are great coordinators, but aren't great head coaches. With Helton the best you you'll get is a PAC 12 championship and maybe a rose bowl bid. USC doesn't have that toughness they use to have... Esp on defense.
Kiffin and Sark went on to win titles at Alabama. Problem is USC's board and trustees and their control factor. Ed Orgeron was not picked by then AD Pat Haden as Orgeron would not of cooperated with the board and trustees. Even as a lesser coach Orgeron had some conflicts. Orgeron even went and got Pete Carroll for USC but the Board and Trustees are who they are and want a puppet they can control . This is why Helton the Brown noser has survived as long as he has,
Ed should have been the coach. Wed be playoff contenders every year but they didnt like his voice and accent. Well continue to be a mirror image of clay, soft. Well suck again. Depresssing. He must have a ton of dirt on usc.
Helton is a Brown noser for the Board and trustless and does exactly what they want. the dirt was exposed in two FBi investigations and USC is working to clean these messes up.
I agree with most of this video except I think we would win against AZ State and California. #Fighton
USC ain’t shit and ain’t gonna be shit for a while.
I'm a 50yr old lifelong SC football fan. First game attended was SC vs Illinois with Jeff George and Rodney Peete. I love SC Football and Clay Helton is a nice guy n good coach.....for San Jose St. THIS IS SC FOOTBALL....GET A REAL COACH....I don't get it.....SC FOOTBALL is a long and enduring tradition here in LA...and the University has a infinite amount of $$ and SUPPOSE TO BE SMART....we've had Helton for 4yrs now....who's smart?? Hire me..he ain't the man and everyone knows this but SC won't pull a decision with any balls cuz of $$....well...you're rich as hell, payed out millons$$$ in stupid and illegal practices, but won't get a decent coach for yrs..for a once very proud program with tradition, cuz we gotta let his contract run out while we get embarrassed nationally and locally...because SC is stupid and cheap.....how did we become this? 2 things and individual and definitely an institution and once proud football program should never be know for
USC needs a black QB
What a negative review. WE have a DC with new defensive coaches and players ready to go. Does Vic Soto count for nothing. What about the No. 1 Special Teams coach in the nation. Helton hired him. We have a punter with 46 yard average last year and who can place it within the ten and out of bounds. Have you noticed the speed for the players selected for Special TEams. That leaves the offense. Which other Pac12 offensive coach would you trade for one of ours? You don't like our running backs? What about our QB. So that comes down to the line. Count how many linemen we have, count'em You mean we won't have 4 linemen and back-ups ready to go?
Why should I read such negativity?
USC does not have 4 lineman on offense. Courtland Ford is a RS FS and will have to start at Right tackle. Then consider USC trying to go with a 85-90 play per game pace. Imagine what that does to the O line which is already depleted. USC's Qb;s are going to be running for their lives and Slovis with concussions already cant take more
Ed Oregon.. would be ideal! Why they let him walk, is beyond me..
Orgeron would not cooperate with Pat haden who laid out the board and trustees requirements. Orgeron did a lot of for USC but would not be a puppet so he walked
@@jimbo4612 thanks for the Info, So how did that work out with both parties...
@@herbertgomez4112 ultimately Pat Haden refused to give Orgeron the head coach job at USC but offered Orgeron 1.5 mil a year to be a special motivation coach, Basically be a cheer leader so Orgeron steamed out of Haden's office pissed. The funny part is after this conflict Haden used Orgeon's voice as an excuse why he was not hired . Haden was forced to resign in 2016 in light of charity issues associated with USC and his family. Haden was also one of the Athletic directors during USC's pay to play scholarship scandal. Max Nikias the long time USC president was forced to resign in light of the George Tyndall Sex scandal and USC football has been surviving on raw talent for years as Clay Helton can't teach discipline .
@@jimbo4612 much respect with your insight. The question remains! Will USC see the glory days of yesteryear again? Coach O, has issues with the media in Baton Rouge..don't know why...in your humble opinion..do you see a replacement for Coach Helton down the road?
@@herbertgomez4112 First Coach O is in a law suit as a codefendant with LSU with allegations that he did nothing regarding an alleged rape by a LSU RB. Will USC hire a new head coach? Yes and here's why. The Pac-12 hired a better Commissioner named George Kliavkoff, the former sports and entertainment director for MGM Grand, and he plans on promoting the PAC -12 with more lucrative broadcasting and upgrades including bigger bowls. USC simply cant afford to miss out on the opportunities at stake playing cheapstake, unwilling to hire a head coach and finishing outside the top 25. Helton has only lead USC to a top 25 finish twice at USC ( I am excluding last years covid season). That's 2 out of 5 seasons 2015-2019.
USC record 8-4 or 7-5 in year 2021.
Without running game , USC won't be successful no matter what !.
One dimensional = one weapon without enough ammunition !.
Nah.. If we have a bad year we will lose two maybe three games at most ONLY because we will get outcoached like we have since CH took over.
We have the best quarterback in the pack 12 and probably four receivers from this team will be in the NFL. We were ranked SEVEN national recruiting class this year. There is PLENTY of ammunition.
Running game does need improvements. But it’s mostly playcalling and putting our skilled position players in the right spots at the right times. We have plenty of talent in the backfield as well.
@@sector783
Agree 👍
I hope USC improves way better than I predicted.
Lmao Patrick Carr? Wtf is Patrick Carr lol if you going to do this, at least get the names right! His name is Stephen Carr.
Slovis IS NOT the best QB in the Pac-12.
Slow-vis runs a 40 around 5.0 speed and cant make reads when pressured. Oregon dropped a simple extra D back in a zone and picked off SLOW-VIS 3 times. Other defenses surely took note of this game. If Slow-vis had a O line he could be effective but USC does not have one
From memory, 3 of the 5 wins were against teams playing their 1st games and I believe the other 2 were from hurt teams (ex., C-19). The 1 loss was against the 2nd best team of the Northern Conference and it was an EMBARRASSING lose, we were just manhandled.
I hope that we can get Coach Chris Petersen out of retirement
We lost by a touchdown last year in the pack 12 championship and there is no way in hell Chris Peterson will ever come live in LA. He is a hard-core conservative and loves his outdoors and hunting.
@@sector783 since when do Hardcore conservatives not like money and winning? Cali is not 100% left wing socialist liberals either, some of our worst laws came from the granddaddy Conservative himself (like our gun control came from Governor R. Reagan at the time). I would add prestige, but we have lost some of that throughout the years.
Once again, 5-0 record was shaky (for reasons already listed before) and we were manhandled by the *2nd* best team in the Northern conference for the championship game. Re-watch the game, that defense looked legit against us, half the team is from CA. (looked like big bro's vs lil' bro's) and it would of ended 31-17 (or worse), if UO didn't start subbing in the backups in the 4th quarter of the game. Oregon went to the Fiesta bowl, we went... nowhere (I know "they" decided not to go, but they were offered a lower tier bowl). As for the outdoors and hunting, ya, a little tougher to do in LA, planning and scheduling out trips, but its not like Seattle is a small town in the country, easier yes. Drive out to the same spots or fly out to anywhere you like for that season.
We added some coaches from UT, they came over because they were doing so well there? We added transfer players from TX because they were starters there? I don't live in CA. anymore, but the local team is 3/4 from CA, as most of the Pac-12 teams now. I wish USC well, but we're going to get more of the same, without a major change. Also want to add that we almost got Bob Stoops, but they wouldn't let him bring in his own staff, wasn't the $$$ but the personal.
Couldn’t disagree more with record prediction, barring major injuries I see 11-1 with the only loss coming to AZ state. N.dame will be close game, but 11-1
They aren't beating Notre Dame.
You are dreaming. Trojans arexno 11-1 team. This is not the John McKay or John Robinson Era, or Tailback U.
Look, its pretty easy to blame Helton. But don't be a fan boy here. Give me REAL professional analysis, that belongs on ESPN, or don't say anything at all. What is Helton not doing? He brought in Graham Harrell as OC. R u saying Harrell , wasn't the right choice? Or not enough?
It's harder to make the right choice. And if we need a celebrity coach like Urban Meyer, how much is the skill on the player part?
Yes, we would all like Phil Jackson as are coach, in basketball, but who is a better coach that is not a superstar, and how to prove it? My pick was Chris Petersen, from Boise State, now Washington Athletic director.
Helton refuses to build a offensive line and has brought in three different coaches as the o line coach. Might count up how many other coaches he has fired as well verses taking the blame himself. If you want to be a Air raid program why bring in Tim Drevno who is a run orientated coach. Sorry but helton flies by the seat of his ass and makes uo excuses as he goes. He should of been tossed after the Blow out lost to IOWA in the 2019 holiday bowl. USC took a beating and Helton has not mentally recovered. This was proven when he played a crappy 4-3 Oregon team and lost. Raw talent is only get USC so far and Helton is a ball and chain USC needs to cut free from.
Dont Bruin your life Trojan up!!!!!!
What about the underdog in LA…UCLA BRUINS!!! They have rivaled and beat USC last few yrs!
UCLA video in the next few days actually!
@@ScottFisherCFB cant wait!
UCLA has only beat USC ONCE (2017) in the last SIX years.. what are you talking about??
Bro you are tweakin. Lol we are going 10& 1
I take Matt Campbell over any coach in college or nfl except for USC Trojans Legendary Coach Pete Carroll😎👍. Matt Campbell is the second coming of USC Trojans Legendary Coach Pete Carroll😎👍. We Are Sc Nation, Trojans For Life And Go Trojans And Fight On✌️✌️✌️😎👍💪
USC are like the Cowboys.
Most overrated team in America
USC, Michigan, and Texas are the GOATs of doing less with more
Count how many Chips USC and Michigan have
Texas is the fake
@@avs9800 Texas hasn't won a natty since 05, USC since 04, and Michigan since 97. Alabama has won 6 national championships in the past two decades. Regardless of history, Texas, USC, and Michigan are all has-beens. Relevancy 15+ years ago doesn't mean anything today.
@@Fumbles9001 thanks to the SEC…I mean to the committee
@@Fumbles9001 Don’t forget Miami
USC fans want either a dumpster fire of a season or a CFP appearance with no in between. With a dumpster fire of a season they can finally get rid of Clay Helton or if they make the playoff then it will look like they are finally back
Fans don't want Clay to succeed or else he gets a contract extension
@@greg7964 must suck being him knowing that the entire fan base wants him gone
Usc is overrated. All football coaches are responsible for wins and losses
1749 days since Usc beat Notre Dame LMFAO
@/goirish
🚮
USC’s ineptitude runs far deeper in the athletic department and university administration than clay Helton. This ND fan enjoys our recent run against them after getting slaughtered in the 2000s
USC goes 12-0.
Nah bro
I'm a SC fan and I don't think you even believe that
🤣🤣🤣
Bro USC is the best program in the nation. Wtf are you taking about. Either fight on or fight me!
What drugs are you on, Alabama Clemson and LSU and Oklahoma exist
Hmm let's see Alabama LSU Clemson Ohio St OU have all made a joke of USC you guys have sucked every year after Cheater Peter left. Whens the last time you were a top 5 team or even top 10? Haven't made the playoffs yet and won't again in 2021 and 4 of 5 schools i named have all won the playoffs beside OU and all 5 are recruiting on a hole different level. USC is just average now. Hell a team like Wisconsin and Texas's AM are better programs now
The fuck are you talking about? Just because you like a team doesn’t mean you need to lie.
@@GameBoi36 right im a buckeye fan and can admit Bama kicked our ass lol to make fans that dont know shit about the sport
