there are 3 scenarios in play right now:
- USC does pretty well (which we should be hoping for) and Helton earns himself another year (to the chagrin of pretty much everyone associated with USC but they painted this situation up expecting Helton to self-immolate and if he doesn't quite light the match (which he isn't doing...yet) then they'll have to grit their teeth and live with it another year.
- USC sputters down the stretch and USC fires Helton and embarks upon a coaching search (which is fine with me if it's a normal[/i][/b] coaching search because it'll take a while for this to affect us in recruiting...welp, at least it won't hurt us this year).
- Helton doesn't quite do enough and there is not a normal coaching search because Urban has already been fitted for a portable EKG machine and, knowing Urban's as smart and slimy as they come, he's already been in touch with top recruits in some indirect way that USC will end up shocking the world on Dec 21 when they early sign the #5 class in the country (moving up from the current #62 or whatever it is).
