Clay Helton is no longer the interim head football coach at the University of Southern California.
Athletic Director Pat Haden announced that the school was promoting Helton and officially removing the interim tag from his title — a designation that made the day of Helton’s players.
“I am extremely humbled,” Helton said in a statement, via ESPN. “During my six years here, I have learned the standard of excellence that it takes to be a Trojan. I understand the expectations of this great university and welcome the challenge. I am so proud to have the chance to lead what I feel is the pinnacle of college football and to represent our Trojan family.”
