Stiner's hire follows the dismissal of former staff member Aaron Ausmus.

On Saturday USC Athletics and Clay Helton announced the hire of new director of football sports performance in Robert Stiner. 

USC Athletics and head coach Clay Helton confirmed the news in a statement citing,

“We are very excited to welcome coach Stiner to the Trojan Family,” said Helton.

“His knowledge and passion for developing student-athletes to reach their full potential is well recognized by his peers and has made him a highly-respected coach in the field. The system he brings has helped produce teams that compete and thrive at the highest level of college football and we are confident he will make an immediate impact on our program and student-athletes.” (Helton)
