Clay Helton made his return to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, and the former USC coach did not get the warmest reception from the fans in attendance, who evidently do not have many fond memories of Helton's tenure with the Trojans.
Now the coach at Georgia Southern , Helton took the field at the LA Coliseum for the first time since he was fired by USC in 2021 and was met by a loud chorus of boos from the USC faithful as he led his Eagles out of the tunnel before their game with the Trojans.
Earlier in the week, Helton was asked about making his return to Los Angeles. Helton said it would mean a lot to him because of the relationships he developed throughout his time on the Trojans' staff.
"It's gonna be special for me. There's 12 years of relationships," Helton said .
