If Wilcox is good enough that some Stanford fans don’t want him to stay on at Cal, the last place anyone should want him to go is USC.

Totally agree. While I probably give Helton a bit more slack than many here do, Wilcox could probably be an upgrade. USC has enough talent that a coach that can get it mostly on the same page most of the time can do very well. Helton probably isn't the guy to do that, at least semi-reliably. Wilcox could be. That said, I am not so sure Wilcox could/would navigate USC politics, which so far Helton has. Pete Carroll was a success at USC because he could get the players to play for him while keeping the rest of the University happy. It is not so easy to do either these days.
