Bigred_inSD Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Who does USC go after for a coach next year? Sark is going to need time away and slowly work his way back into coaching. I hope he is able to get his life back on track. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Sark's life has been an absolute mess for a while. Not sure if the binge drinking came first, or the divorce, but basically the players and coaches are scared for him to go home to nothing every night. Hope he gets this turned around. Don't want to see that for anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment

MichiganDad3 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 So there are worse things than a 2-4 record. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 So suspicion from asst. coaches that he was drunk during ArizonaSt game.. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 That's kind of crazy. Hope Sark comes out of this okay. My first reaction is, "How on earth does a coach come back from this?" But the compassionate response taken by USC seems appropriate. Probably many of us can empathize because we know or know of someone who has faced similar personal struggles. Nevermind the USC football program, they'll be OK regardless. Quote Link to comment
Bigred_inSD Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I hope coaches don't use this to negativity recruit against USC, parents worry enough they don't need some coach making comments about "are you wanting to trust your son to a program that had this happen" granted I see some coaches doing it anyway Quote Link to comment
mrandyk Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Does their AD stick around? This situation, plus the entire Lane Kiffin debacle happened under his watch. Quote Link to comment

bhamHusker Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 "Nobody will want to coach there if they fire him this quickly" There's just a little bit of difference when a coach is fired for cause such as repeatedly showing up drunk to work or work-related events (which sounds as if that may not happen if he gets the help he apparently needs) and firing a coach 6 games after taking over a program because he's lost some games and a portion of the fans come unglued. 1 Quote Link to comment
