Stranger things have happened.

No, I don't think that happens.  Even though I was predicting Helton's ouster after their loss to the Bruins yesterday, I would wager that USC gives their current coach one more year.  If the team flops again next year, then Helton is toast.

As for Wilcox, I don't think he will be moving any time soon, and certainly not to USC.  He was canned by Helton after the the Pac-12 CCG against Stanford.  Helton apparently asked Wilcox who had been assigned to cover McCaffrey on his 28-yard scoring strike in the 4th quarter to put the game essentially out of reach; and Wilcox, the defensive coordinator, answered "I don't know".  That was the end of his career as a Trojan.  So there is no love between those two; and I am certain that Cal's victory over USC this year was probably the most gratifying for Wilcox.

At most schools, a coach who won the Rose Bowl one year and the Pac-12 championship the next wouldn't be canned after one bad year, especially when you consider the fact that his star QB left early for the NFL and he went out and recruited the best HS QB in the nation. U$C, of course, may not be most schools.
FWIW here's on opinion on the top ten coaches to replace Helton if he is told to hit the bricks. Wilcox isn't on it.

That's an interesting list of potential head coach candidates, including Hue Jackson, whom I did not realize had previously worked for USC.
Jack Del Rio, during his last years at Jacksonville and few years coaching the Raiders, seemed to lack energy and passion. He was a star athlete for USC, but that was almost 40 years ago.
I can imagine John Harbaugh would help the Trojans , but have no idea if he would want the job.
