How can USC football head coach Clay Helton rise in coaching rankings?
Clay Helton has had an up-and-down tenure with USC football, so it makes sense that college football coaching rankings are at a loss with how to evaluate him.
CBS Sports set out to rank all the head coaching in the Power 5 and Helton didn’t make Top 25.
That’s to be expected given his inconsistent track record.
As it stands, Helton ranks 41st nationally, up 10 spots from the previous year (when he tumbled drastically in the aftermath of the 2018 season).
