"I've never worried about the outside noise," Helton told ESPN during Wednesday's Pac-12 media day. "Having been in it for 25 years of college football, having seen my dad in it for 40 years in both NFL and college, it's part of the game. As a leader and as a head coach, when you go win a Rose Bowl and a Pac-12 title, you go hand out the accolades to everybody else. When you have an off season, you have to own it.

"We're not really concerned about that because we don't think it's going to happen," Pittman told ESPN. "I think that he's one of the best coaches in college football. I think that we had one down year after losing a No. 3 draft pick [Sam Darnold], and it's hard to come back from losing a guy like that -- and JuJu [Smith-Schuster] and all those leaders who left.
"We just have a bunch of news flying, people on Twitter just throwing stuff left and right without facts or really information to back it up. That's what we expect, so it doesn't really bother us."
USC defensive lineman Christian Rector echoed Pittman's sentiments, saying he believes those on the outside think they know more than they do about the stability within USC's program.
"I just think it's noise," Rector told ESPN. "It happens every year. It's just how college sports is. The L.A. fair-weather fans expect perfection. We could have a 10-win season and there would still be something wrong with the team. We had one off season and it's the end of the world.
"Coach Helton is a great coach, a great guy. The players still love him, and people don't really have that insider scoop that they think they do and they know what's going on." -
The backlash that Helton and the program have received on social media since the end of last season has been particularly upsetting to Pittman, and that has fueled his motivation going into the 2019 season.
"I'm sick of people talking on Twitter, I'm sick of seeing it, I'm sick of hearing it," Pittman said. "I am the most motivated in college football right now."
Though Helton has received confidence from his athletic director over the past few months, the coach admitted Wednesday he has yet to have a single one-on-one conversation with new USC president Carol Folt, who began her role on January 1 -

#FaithFamilyFootball You want a steady leader like that that doesn't let the noise bother him when SC has so many other scandals to deal with.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Wouldn't be surprised if USC says they're extra motivated this year, pulls of the upset against Utah, dismisses all the hotseat talk on Helton, then they collapse and finishes 7-5 with Helton fired before UCLA.
