The Bulldogs' special teams coordinator, associate head coach and tight ends coach is John Baxter, who spent seven years during the 2010s in some of the same jobs at USC under Lane Kiffin and Clay Helton.
interesting. He was very highly regarded in Fresno and there awhile. With lane. Comes to usc where he was a lightning rod but lasted 7 years. Don’t know where he went after that but obviously wound up back in Fresno.
Good Ole 10 Man Delay of Game Baxter--From Wolfe

"One of the main shortcomings with Clay Helton is the way some people are just bulletproof from accountability.
Special teams coach John Baxter is a prime example. Last year against Notre Dame, USC had 10 men on the field for two kick returns. The ACC officiating crew told the USC coaches to fix it.
Saturday night’s No. 7 jersey debacle was not the first time two players wore the same jersey on special teams. It happened last season too.
When USC played Stanford in 2016, it had eight men on the field to defend an extra point. The same game USC had 10 men on the field to defend an extra point at least once. Maybe twice according to players."
