Haden next please

[mtangelsfan]

I know that.

 

Donors run the USC AD anyway.

 

as they do in most major college programs.  It wasn't the same administration though, which is what you posted.

If Haden isn't fired now I don't think he will be.  You don't let him pick the next coach and then fire him.

Nikias was still in charge wasn't he?  The only difference was the athletic director.

[AngelsLongBall]

Nikias doesn't care about athletics. 

 

I can't wait for Petros' fresh take on this!!

Don't forget your umbrella

They may roll with the interim which gives them more time to make up their minds.

[nate]

All those leaks from Scott Wolfe about him being drunk at games and drinking on the plane etc obviously came from Haden and inside the AD.  They needed fuel to justify firing him now.

 

The thing about Haden is he is a really smart business man but a terrible AD.

[mtangelsfan]

He has failed with almost every hire he has made with the major sports.

 

That is not good, nope, not at all.

[nate]

He also fired a coach on the airport tarmac and another one a day after he sent him to rehab.

[mtangelsfan]

I don't feel bad about either of the firings.  They both deserved it big time.  They both just should have happened earlier.

[AngelsLongBall]

Haden staying?

[nate]

Saw someone else make a good point...

 

If you are a coach and entertaining the USC job... how would you feel about the fact that they basically slandered and leaked a bunch of harmful information about Sark before firing him?

[mtangelsfan]

It is only slander if it isn't true.  Also, has it been established for certain that Haden was the one leaking the information?

 

I don't think Haden should stay, but if you make choices based on hearsay, you aren't doing yourself any favors.

[Adam]

Blow it up! What a disaster. 

[RallyMo]

It took a loss to Washington for the honorable USC boosters to become concerned about Sark's well being.

Classy.

[RallyMo]

Also, Sark is such a shithead.

[Chimi]

Wonder what Pete Carroll lackey USC will get now.  Norm Chow?  Ken Norton Jr?

Haden may have. All he cares about is himself or boosters who really didn't want sark from day 1.

Bottom line is I hope sark gets help for himself and his family.

Recruiting can wait. Usc will be fine in that department

I just feel for the current players. I hope this staff can get them focused and beat a top 15 nd team Saturday.

[Lou]

Wait a minute.

So it wasn't the medication?

Dumbasses. Did they really think anyone bought that bs ?

[Lou]

Maybe a one game suspension? I doubt it would be higher than that, unless he has done this in front of Haden or the USC brass before.

For what? Getting a little sauced up at a private usc event and trying to fire up the crowd ? He issued an apology it's over move on

I know one thing is for sure. Art Briles sent him a nice bottle of whiskey and a thank you card

I agree

[Lou]

No one is spinning it. He got drunk. Made an ass of himself and people are calling for him to be fired. Get real.

Bastards

It was a pep rally!!

[AngelsLongBall]

I tend to think that I rock pretty hard.  Not Juan Savage hard, but hard.  And I think Sark would party me under the table

[nate]

Lol, ALB.  I love that you keep that comment alive.  Rock on

[AngelsLongBall]

I'm a fan of morning beers on the weekend as much as the next guy, but goddamn Sark!  2 shots and 2 beers before lunch?!  On a school night!?  I guess it's always noon somewhere...hope he gets help.  Don't want to see him end up like a lot of career drinkers down in the South Bay.
