Lynn Swann backs Clay Helton as USC head coach despite 4-4 record

After another loss Saturday afternoon to Arizona State, USC head football coach Clay Helton shook things up with the firing of offensive line coach Neil Callaway, the stripping of playing calling duties from offensive coordinator Tee Martin and the appointing of Tim Drevno to backfill Callaway’s job.

Call it desperate or proactive, it was move that put the onus entirely on Helton, while the Trojans are all but dead in the Pac-12 South race and majorly underperforming to expectations, causing many to call for a head coaching change.

That won’t be happening. At least not right now, despite the Trojans entering November without a winning record for the first time in 17 years.
