USC Has Finally Fired Clay Helton. Who Should They Hire Next?

Boom.

There it is.

The Clay Helton era at USC is over. An era defined by constant talk of "when will they fire him?" followed by "maybe he isn't that bad" is finished.

This comes after a truly embarrassing loss to Stanford. We came into Saturday thinking that if a coach was going to be fired in California this week it would be David Shaw. Instead? It was Clay Helton.

What is next for USC? Where do they go? The Urban Meyer dream is done as he is pretty set in Jacksonville. Some names I can think of:

-Joe Brady

-Luke Fickell

-Bob Stoops

-Matt Campbell

-Chris Petersen

-James Franklin

-Joe Moorhead
