If Helton is out of the way, going out and getting Trooper Taylor, and letting him be OC and RB coach? He knows the SEC well, is an absolute beast of a recruiter, loves Tennessee, has proven good results working in high level offenses... And at the moment we would be plucking him away from Arkansas State...

I think the other thought that might catch people's eye is if USC fires their version of coach Helton, what becomes of Tee Martin?

Or maybe they cut Weinke out too and bring Martin is as QB coach and OC, then bring in Troop for RB coach and associate head coach?

If Tee couldn't cut the mustard at USC then why would we hire him here????

Why don’t we just accept the fact that Pruitt and company were handed a roster full of players who don’t know how to play football at a high level. Give the poor guy more than one year with his staff to make some progress before we start firing off threads about what we think the fix is for a problem that’s 5 years in the making.

Tee was cutting the mustard well enough last year when they won the Pac-12. This year once he got rolling with his freshman QB, they were doing just fine.... and then Clay Helton did a grab over the play calling duties, and USC went 1-3 in their last four games scoring less points than they were before. Not entirely convinced Tee was their problem.

Bring. In. A. Former. HC. As. OC.

Freeze. Kiffin. Petrino. Kingsbury.

Oh wait. I forgot. Someone’s ego might get bruised. Or the SEC office might push back. Or ‘we don’t do that sort of thing.’

Personalities and egos have almost destroyed this program. Why stop now?

Give him more than one year with his staff ?

If the Helton rumors are true, he isn’t even willing to give himself more than a year with his staff.

Trooper will not be back here if Fulmer has any say so.

Fulmer also would get his widdle ego all bwuised if Kiffin is considered. Or Leach. Or a myriad of other people who might offend the sensitive little pumpkin.

Like I said. Personalities and egos have almost destroyed the program. Let’s let Fulmer ride this thing into the ground. Just so long as his sensitive self-image stays intact.

The hardest thing for people to accept is a lack of talent. It's unfathomable for some. It always has to be the playcalls.

I don't think Helton was anything special this year, but I've got no idea how anybody calls plays when you never know who is going to get blocked.

For me it’s not the playcalling so much as the lack of improvement and development. Particularly the OL and QB play. That’s coaching. I don’t expect a SEC caliber OL from this pathetic bunch, but I did expect to see improvement on fundamentals (body placement, hip rotation, use of hands, etc) none of that happened.

Tee has never called the plays at SC.
