Honestly, one of the bigger factors was money. Lynn Swann is an incompetent AD, and extended Helton's contract. If they
fired him last year, they'd have to pay $15M + to buy him out. (That's a lot of money, but not that much for USC.) It's bizarre.
His hiring was also bizarre. Sark got fired in October 2015, and Helton became interim coach. (USC was 3-2 at the point Sark was fired.) He went 5-2, as interim, and was made permanent HC after beating UCLA... And then they lost the CCG to Stanford, and the Holiday Bowl to Wisconsin. The next year was weirder- they start out 1-3 (Losses to Alabama, Stanford, and Utah. Only win- Utah State.) But then they win out, and beat Penn State at the Rose Bowl.
Horribly inconsistent.
I think Helton would be good at other schools. But not USC. And Swann had NO business taking the AD job. Both need to be fired.

This is just dumb. Utah has proven they belong on the P5 landscape. (Regardless of what happens this year.)
