He pre-supposes, as anyone with a brain did, that Helton was doomed. Palmer revealed his stance on the firing on former head coach Clay Helton, and the highly coveted job vacancy.
"I hope we get the coach of our future and not a three or four year stop for somebody. I hope we can find the guy for the next decade plus. I love where we are sitting. We were the first to open up that seat, so we've got the first crack at everybody," said Palmer.
"There was some talk, are you going to fire coach Helton in week one, week two, week six [or] at the end of the season. I believe this is the right strategy, I've seen it. When I was playing in the NFL and coaches would be fired early, you could see within the organizations that I played for the top amongst the coaches and amongst the staff. The word is out, people know that the jobs is available," Palmer said. ----------------------------------- As usual the LA Times has no in depth coverage, just rehashes of name lists available everywhere.-------Read SI https://www.si.com/college/usc/football/carson-palmer
