Georgia Southern Head Coach Clay Helton’s Background

Helton has a good amount of experience coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

He began his career as a graduate assistant at Duke in 1995 before coaching running backs there the following year. He kept working with RBs at Houston (1997-99) and Memphis (2000-02). He then coached wide receivers at Memphis from 2003-06 before becoming the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2007-09.

He then moved on to USC, where he coached quarterbacks from 2010-12 and became the team’s passing game coordinator in 2012. He was the team’s OC and QBs coach from 2013-15 and served as an interim head coach twice during that stretch.

He was USC’s head coach from 2016-21. The beginning of his tenure there was fairly successful, as he led the team to a Rose Bowl win in 2016 and an appearance in the Cotton Bowl in 2017. While with the Trojans, he also coached standout players like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Alijah-Vera Tucker, Sam Darnold, and Adoreé Jackson.
