Ed O was reported to have been drunk at a practice or something; I don’t remember the details.
USC apparently wasn’t a good fit for him. They’ve been mediocre for a while.
LSU reaps the benefits!
I thought Sarkisian was the one who was drunk.
No, he absolutely was not. You're thinking of his successor Seven-Win Steve, aka Cutty Sark, a sot who was canned midway through his second season at USC.
Coach O loved USC and was very popular with the team members and the fans. Had he been retained and had the university administration been willing to pay for the staff that he wanted, he would have led the Trojans back to glory.
