    "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.

    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.

    #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.

    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.
