"...history of incompetence in USC athletics repeating itself."

Lynn Swann’s sole meaningful move since his stunning selection as USC’s athletic director was extending coach Clay Helton through the 2023 season. It’s easy to pick on Swann because he was completely unqualified for the job, which his lone major football decision has shown.

The expectation remains that USC keeps Helton, and he overhauls the staff. But USC can afford to cut bait. Keeping him would mean the offseason and build-up to next season would serve as months of reminders about the history of incompetence in USC athletics repeating itself.
