Its official, Kingsbury to USC

[Cougsocal]

as offensive coordinator. May portend to a marriage of elite level receivers and the Air Raid for the first time. That said, it is clear now that the Air Raid isn't a "magic bullet." Only Leach has had sustained success with it, and football programs tend to rot from the head down. In this rgard, Lynn Swann, as Petros insightfully points out, believes USC has problems in every facet of the program. So this may be merely be patching over dry rot.

Also, Clay fancies himself as an offensive guru, so it may also be a case of having two chefs in the kitchen, or Kingsbury is being used as "a beard," of sorts to take some immediate pressure off Clay.

Looks like a 1 year gig to me. If usc doesn’t have a good year they are all fired. If they do have a good year, particularly on O, he’ll have better opportunities if he wants to be a head coach again or give the NFL a go.

Yeah it won’t surprise me at all if it’s a 1 year thing.

Does incredibly well -> leaves for NFL or HC gig.

Does mediocre/ poorly -> Helton is fired and USC cleans house

Helton is gonna get fired. He’s just not going to win at the level they expect. I was surprised he wasn’t fired this year. My only thought is they may have their eyes on a guy who just wasn’t available this year and they are biding their time.

Yeah that seems likely now that he’s on the market.

USC has great receivers, however their schedule next year is pretty tough. I don't see them winning more than 7 or 8 games.

JT Daniels will probably benefit from having Kingsbury on staff...I assume that in addition to his other duties he will be the official QB coach.
