🏈 Trouble in Trojan land: Sark fired

[PhillyGirl]

@BryanDFischer: Two sources at USC say Steve Sarkisian was sent home by athletic director Pat Haden earlier today.

I am hearing (from the talking heads) Chip Kelly's name as a possibility.
Sark seems to be struggling since his situation earlier this year.

Yeah they're throwing Chip's name into every college HC controversy. Wouldn't pay it any mind. He's not going anywhere, unless Eagles lose every game from next week onwards.

@ArashMarkazi: USC's head coaches over the past 25 months:
Lane Kiffin
Ed Orgeron
Clay Helton
Steve Sarkisian
Clay Helton (again)

 

[PhillyGirl]

Asked to take temporary leave of absence. Clay Helton named interim HC.

@RedditCFB: Interim coach Clay Helton's already 1-0 w/ USC, lead Trojans to 2013 Las Vegas Bowl victory in the year of 3 coaches (Kiffin-Orgeron-Helton)

@LostLettermen: The Sark situation was a ticking time bomb. Obvious since he said he didn't THINK he had problem and was seeking part-time treatment

LOL, remind me again what Chip Kelly did at Oregon...he's getting overpaid.

Didn't USC ban alcohol in the locker room earlier this year. That, the Spirit of Troy event, and getting a divorce...easy to start drawing conclusions in light of today's news.

@PhillyGirl, I would think that Kelly is pretty happy where he is.

 

[wiregrass_bamaguy]

Prayers going out that Sark can overcome his addiction.

@PhillyGirl, I would think that Kelly is pretty happy where he is.

Considering the power he has, he would be foolish to leave that! He's like a dictator

 

[PhillyGirl]

@LostLettermen: Considering that USC's next 3 games are @ ND, vs. Utah & @ Cal, this season could REALLY go off the rails. Like, Lane-Kiffin-off-the-rails.

@InsideUSC: BREAKING: Some #USC assistant coaches believed Steve Sarkisian was drunk during the Arizona State game on Sept. 26.

 

[planomateo]

I don't see USC keeping him as the HC, he's done. Kinda crazy that Chris Peterson told USC no and told Washingon yes. Almost as if UW and Peterson had a deal prior to Sark leaving UW. Wouldn't be shocked if UW wasn't going to renew Sark's contract. They probably were aware of some of this.

Was told to take temporary leave of absence. Apparently missed the start of practice on Sunday and when he showed up, he was drunk.

 

[planomateo]

Can Hayden weather the storm is the bigger question at this point.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

This is pretty much he exact same type of stuff we would have seen at Bama with Mike Price, had he not got caught up rolling so early on in P'Cola with Destiny.

 

[bama alum]

I don't see either Sark or Hayden coming back.

 

[TerryP]

@It Takes Eleven What, no Cutty Sark jokes?

 

[OldPlayer]

I don't see either Sark or Hayden coming back.

Sark will go into rehab and then resign with a buyout. Haden may survive the season but won't hire the next football coach.
