Is there someone in the coaching ranks who could make and immediate impact on the program and if not why make the change just to keep the team embroiled in a coaching mess and search by hiring someone who is likely out in two or three seasons?
I don't understand Swann's comment about him not being hired to make big changes.
If I'm Swann I go about a search quietly and get my Swann's all in a row, and if Helton cannot show real signs of turning the program around, make the change. The problem seems to be more than just Helton or Head coaching at USC; it's the culture that was Peter Carroll and when he left, he left a program that was filled with problems deeply entrenched that even he didn't want to deal with - and of his making.
This to me this is more like NDNation moaning over choices - fickle and childish.
