They could have had Muschamp. ;)
Mike Leach was about to overtake him in the State, so it probably was a good time to get out of Washington.
USC Should have stayed with coach O. Another bad move by Hayden. When this hire tanks, we can kiss Hayden goodbye with him.
No, it’s the right choice. Sarkisian has huge recruiting ties in SoCal, and being an ex QB, this will help attract top QB’s to USC. This will prove to be a great choice for the long term for USC football.
Pardon my ignorance, but what sport?
Oh this is about sports. OK. I saw the surname Sarkisian, and I thought, isn’t that Cher’s maiden name? Not that she was ever an actual “maiden”.
Sark is a perfect fit for the Spoiled Children. Let him take them all the way to 7 wins.
If I were Washington, I’d take a good look at Dan Quinn, the Seahawks’ Defensive Coordinator.....He was the only reason the Gators went 11-2 last year.
USC did as good as they could.
As much as sports media chirps about the USC job...it isn’t even one of the top 20 coaching positions or largest programs. Some Hollywood money keeps it going, thats it
They have attendance issues at games...Their stadium lacks club and suites (bring in revenue), the campus is located in a ghetto (practices have been sprayed with gunfire before). Facilities are better at many schools
Pete Carroll did an excellent job at USC even though SEC schools are better supported and funded. Carroll actually made USC “sexy and hip” again. It will be hard for a coach to duplicate that
Meh, I think Haden is GREAT!!! And needs to keep up the excellent management of the Trojan athletic dept.....
GO BRUINS!!!
(The only good trojan is a used trojan.....)
Actually, no. Petersen and Franklin turned them down, and Sumlin essentially did the same by re-upping with A&M. There were rumors about Del Rio and Gruden, but Del Rio has never coached in college and Gruden has no interest in ever coaching again. I think it came down to the UCLA game - if Orgeron won, he got the job, and if not they'd bring in somebody else.
Given that choice, I think they should have kept Orgeron as the head coach, but I don't know that Sarkisian is a bad alternative, especially if Orgeron stays on staff.
Huskies get Chris Peterson. I think they’re feeling pretty good right now.
Boomer Sooner!!!!! Now Go Baylor!
