Clay Helton? The interim coach that won the job, got hot his first year, and then fizzled out. Ultimately could not keep up the expectations of the program.
Boy.. where have I heard this story before? #WestCoastChad
I don't want a coach who has a downward trajectory.

Believe it or not, this is what a Georgia Southern team is supposed to look like. Great job coaches and players!
Helton finally having a first place team playing like a first place team. Great to see a complete and complimentary game. 3 more to go. Go Eagles!

So, you brought Clay Helton back for year 5.
Let's look at some quick numbers and figure out where we are, where we need to get to, and compare to some top G5 teams since that's what we're trying to be.🧵
A win is a win.
Props to Cam Brown for the single season record.
Only scoring 24pts on 530 yards is bothersome. Lack a killer instinct is a real issue.
Just never thought we would use the entire season to get bowl eligible. Maybe Clay will finally win a bowl here.
Another thought:
We had the second best recruiting class in the SBC last year per 247. We added one of the best transfers in the G6 in Cam Brown. NIL still the problem?
You can’t brag about elite roster retention in May and then blame NIL when you get buried the SBC in November.
Chris Davis and Company are preparing to provide Clay cover by focusing on NIL.

"Make history"
*puts head in hands*
Heading into Marshall, the Eagles have a chance to make history by earning bowl eligibility for the fourth consecutive season, but Tracy Hill Jr. emphasized that their motivation comes from playing for Eagle Nation and for each other.

This is where we are.. Helton Sr (24-53-1 HC record) busy coaching on the sidelines.
I must have missed him on the coaches roster.
