Sark just got terminated

Completely different scenario.

And I have a feeling it might cost Haden his job too becuase there's no way that they are just learning of this. The more players remember of this happening last year the more it hurts the administration
 
USC, Maryland, and even North f***ing Texas all get out in front of their inevitable coaching searches. Top candidates know the USC and Maryland jobs are already available and can assess their options ahead of time. Meanwhile, Miami's administration continues to inexplicably delay the inevitable.

If Golden survives until the end of the year, that means he will have coached more games at Miami than Sarkisian and Kiffin combined at USC. One school desperately wants to win. The other is more worried about etiquette dinners.
 
I'm starting to believe this administration does not want to fire him. He's white and articulate so these days, that's all that is required for the BOT and Blake James. I really hate what this program has become. Why won't they do what's best for the student athletes?
 
Good news, as a USC alum. College football has been miserable this season. Sarkisian is preferable to Golden but he's not special, someone likely to run the table. The offense is missing the old standbys like actual power football, despite a top notch quarterback. The defense is too erratic. It was absurd to allow a limited player like Kevin Hogan to put up 41 points on the road.

This was a convenient out for Pat Haden, who is increasingly under fire. The USC basketball and baseball programs are floundering also. He has made plenty of fires and hires but none have really panned out, other than a couple of the so-called minor sports.

A coaching search is a great way to deflect scrutiny from his troubles and try to reestablish faith within the fan base. USC's has legit star talent entering the football program every year. They don't strike out in the late going. The stadium isn't a rental 22 miles from campus. It should be far easier for that program to attract a top notch coach than the Canes' opportunity.

Of course, that USC fan base is stuck where we were in maybe 2004 through 2007. The dominant championship seasons are still fresh in memory and no one can understand why it isn't rinse and repeat. I had a severe advantage since I experienced the Canes' run in the early 2000s and earlier, so I warned repeatedly on the USC boards that it likely was long gone for the foreseeable, that the best hope was probably a second tier finish here and there.

I think they'll be after someone totally different than what we'd be likely to get. I hope Pay Hayden continues to do their hiring.
 
The main difference between Sark and Al Golden is that Sark coaches drunk because he's actually inebriated.
 
Sarkisian is 46-35. If he were 81-0, he'd still be on the sideline.

Convenient excuse, and props to USC and Haden for jumping on it.
