For Clay Helton, whose future already was uncertain, Lynn Swann’s resignation carried especially massive implications. But until just before Carol Folt publicly announced Swann’s resignation Monday, he'd been in the dark with everyone else.
Lynn Swann stepping down as USC athletic director is the first step to a fresh start for the football program and likely means the end of Clay Helton as coach.Now, as he stood in front of donors, news spread through the room, putting the coach in a precarious position. Soon, Helton was asked for his thoughts on the departure of the athletic director whose vote of confidence had kept him in his job.
As Folt considers the future of USC’s athletic department and its football program, the perceived disconnect between her and Helton was notable for a coach many suspect won’t last past this season, barring a stellar finish. With Swann now gone, some wonder if the bloodletting in a department filled with longtime administrators has only just begun.
Many around the program interpreted Folt’s decision to name her special advisor, Dave Roberts, as interim athletic director over Steve Lopes, the department’s longtime chief operating officer, as sending that very message.
