Twitter reacts to USC hiring Clay Helton

The college football world woke up to the stunning news that USC has dropped the “interim” title from coach Clay Helton and officially made him the next head coach for the Trojans.

Since being elevated to the interim role (again) following Steve Sarkisian’s dismissal, Helton went 5-2 overall and 5-1 in Pac-12 play, helping the Trojans to the Pac-12 South title and a spot in this weekend’s conference championship game against Stanford.

Twitter, as Twitter tends to do, went bananas before most of the West Coast even grabbed a cup of coffee.

Here are a few quick, 140-character reactions.
