The point doesnt matter anyways, he won't leave USC for AU unless he disappoints there. If he disappoints there, we don't want him

Like I said above, it would be a long shot. I could see him leaving if he just didn't like living in SoCal.

I don't expect us to go after him - but he's the sort of HC we SHOULD go after. All this Chip Kelly/Jon Gruden nonsense is truly a (crack)pipe dream. Our chances of pulling Helton from USC, while infinitesimally small, are still an order of magnitude greater than many of the names mentioned ITT.

The only concern I would have about Helton would be the one thing that might make him consider coming here- his AU ties. I really feel we need to break with the past this time, hire someone who has no history with the program (other than possibly competing against it) and give them enough responsibility to run it without interference.
