LOS ANGELES — USC defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast and special teams coordinator/tight ends coach John Baxter will not return to the Trojan coaching staff, USC head coach Clay Helton announced today (Dec. 28).

"I want to thank Coach Pendergast and Coach Baxter for their dedicated service and efforts," said Helton. "However, in evaluating our team's performance this year and after consulting with AD Mike Bohn, it is evident that these changes are necessary.

"My coaching staff and I fell short of fielding a championship team. We are taking immediate steps to improve our competitiveness and meet the winning expectations of our student-athletes and fans."
