Just one of the 27 FBS head coaching changes came from the Pac-12, a list that included 13 Power 5 programs, and USC's Clay Helton has been the Trojans' acting head coach for three months. That suggests stability, or at least as much stability as a Power 5 conference can have from one season to the next.
That suggestion is wrong.
Head coaching stability is just a superficial perception, because the conference is roiling beneath the surface. We might be on the cusp of significant philosophical and schematic changes. And the doomsayers out there might wonder if the Pac-12 is headed for a downturn.
