zoogs Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 http://www.si.com/college-football/2015/10/09/washington-beats-usc-steve-sarkisian-chris-petersen This is unusual. USC is just coming off sanctions, Sarkisian is in Year 2, and he went 9-4 in his first season. That was a pretty close loss to Washington, too, was it not? I know the standards are high at a program like USC, but this position seems a little extreme for a major national media outlet. Openly ripping USC and Sarkisian (9-4, 3-2) while saying Petersen (8-6, 3-2) should have had the job instead. That said, it is kind of funny that USC turned down Petersen and went with yet another Pete Carroll offensive coordinator. Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Funny how Sarkisian's 2 bowl game victories are in the Holiday Bowl against Nebraska 2 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Wow, good point. That hadn't occurred to me. I also had forgotten about that alcohol incident. Definitely embarrassing. Quote Link to comment
