my brother went to usc and a good friend is big donor, whatever that means--both agree with your statement that helton is gone this year if he loses 2 out of 3 to stanford, ucla and nd--both are predicting losses to all three. throw in O and W and they have a killer schedule for a first year coach.
It was obvious from the start that Helton was a bridge the gap guy for the rest of '15 and all of '16. Herman isn't leaving HOU anytime soon IMO. Maybe SC could land Ken Norton.
Herman to USC? Herman can write his own ticket - if he was a stock, I would buy a 1,000 shares. UH is on the rise as a university, facilities, BIG-12?, winner. He could stay at UH - but if he leaves it will be to a big time program.
SC needs to stop hiring AD's and coaches because they have ties to SC. Their last 2 AD's have been complete disasters and then they hire Lynn Swann??? What the hell does Lynn Swann know about being an AD?
