LOS ANGELES — It’s the most frenzied, if not popular, time of the college football season. Not bowl games and the playoffs, but rather watching a slew of head coaches get fired, watching would-be saviors get hired, only to later watch many of those would-be saviors get fired.
At last, a sign of sanity rewarded.
Notre Dame likely clinching a spot in the playoffs with its 24-17 victory over USC Saturday at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum helped provide refreshing perspective of the coaching-carousel madness.
Inside and outside the USC locker room after the game, reporters asked questions about the status of Trojans head coach Clay Helton. Understandably. Because despite going 10-3 in 2016 and 11-3 in 2017 — his first two full seasons as USC’s head coach — Helton appears to be in danger of losing his job after the Trojans finished the 2018 season with a record of 5-7.
The USC faithful — especially those who have lost faith in Helton — would have benefited from checking out the scene outside the Notre Dame locker room.
