Mike Bohn's decision to retain Clay Helton was fully backed by USC President Carol L. Folt.
Clay Helton isn’t going anywhere. Despite rampant speculation, USC athletic director Mike Bohn has decided to keep Helton as the Trojans’ football coach.When asked why that decision dragged until Wednesday, after USC had been eliminated from Pac-12 title contention last weekend, Folt said she believed Bohn’s process was “very timely.”“Didn’t I just hire Mike three weeks ago?” she asked.“I think Mike said when he came in, he wanted to see that season come to a close.
That fan community made its frustrations with the new athletic director known in the wake of his decision Wednesday. But Folt said she was optimistic that support would return, even if it took time. “I’d say to the fans, you’ve been loyal for so many years,” Folt said. “That has been something the university has always really valued and still values now. We want you to be loyal to a university you’re proud of.”
