"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 -
A man of impeccable comportment. The right hand at the tiller there, no doubt about it.Gladstone said:"I've never worried about the outside noise," Helton told ESPN during Wednesday's Pac-12 media day.

#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.

USC didn’t lose to anyone last year according to Helton. They lost to themselves as per his ESPN interview on Pac12 Media Day.

This is spot on.Gladstone said:"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.

What's the deal with the new president? Radical feminist who hates football?

From USC 247:
Quarterback scramble?
Earlier this month, smoke billowed from The Ford Center where Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei five-star quarterback Bryce Young was participating in The Opening Finals. Rumors of an impending de-commitment by Young from USC swirled in Frisco, Texas. Young nonchalantly dismissed those rumors, stating that USC was where his “heart was at” and that he did not want to re-open the recruiting process before the start of his senior season.
Fast forward almost a month later and the smoke has not yet cleared. Young explained that — out of respect — he remains in communication with schools like Oklahoma and Alabama. It would seem coming off of his official visit to USC in June, Alabama specifically got the impression he was not happy with his commitment to the Trojans.
We heard it then and we’re hearing it now. Sources close to USC are not expecting an imminent de-commitment from Young. -
Former Tight End Daniel Imatorbhebhe:
And yet again, we’re hearing that Daniel really wanted to come back and play for USC but has been black-balled by a weird confluence of naysayers working against him that did not include, we’re told, Clay Helton. And that as we’ve reported here, the prime player in Daniel not being able to play has been AD Lynn Swann, in a contentious back-and-forth over whether Daniel should have to take a medical retirement and relinquish his football scholarship.
We’re told that Daniel has contemplated telling his side of the story, but ultimately does not want to burn any bridges, at least while he is still finishing his master’s degree. -

A Trooj would say that 2001 was the start of a dynasty and Helton needs more tim

One of the half brain iron laws is that it is a lot easier to become and stay a loser program than it is to become a big winner program. It was our main concern by 2007 that UW was losing whatever it was that made them a good program under James and brought out the Minnesota comparison.
Even blue bloods like USC and Bama can wander through the desert for longer than most fans realize. The difference is they are one coach away from getting back on top
Clay Helton is that guy

As a regular Podcast of Champions listener, I’m kinda shocked that Ryan would go full Trooj like that. He’s usually pretty realistic about USC’s shortcomings on the pod... just not as self-loathing and pessimistic as David is about UCLAGrundleStiltzkin said:Ho Lee Shit. @LaMichael_Corleone is write, ewe know.

I think we've all seen this desperation move by the players to get some kind of training in that the coaches aren't doing.GrundleStiltzkin said:
