“I am pleased to let you know Coach Helton will continue to be our head coach,” Bohn wrote in a letter to athletic department supporters. USC coach Clay Helton, Ronald Jones II and Viane Talamaivao, right, celebrate a 42-24 win over Stanford on Sept. 9, 2017. In his first major move as athletic director, Bohn is betting on that possibility. For a new athletic director who had come to respect the coach’s approach, it was enough to be convinced that more was needed. No coach since Carroll has lasted longer in the position than Helton, whose record, including his time as interim coach, is 40-21.
