Not glossing, but he’s had a winning record at 2 Pac12 schools that he took over after pretty messy situations before him. Our options when it comes to current or former P5 head coaches are going to be pretty thin so getting a guy who has been a winner in our conference is probably the best we can hope for with respect to guys with HC experience. It’s a bonus that he’s young and knows what it’s like to recruit at a high level. Otherwise I think we’re looking at an assistant somewhere.

I think he would not even take the call.
But he would obviously be a great choice.
He was also boozing hard at Washington for what its worth. Just had a damn good year as the OC for Alabama with a backup QB for 3.5 games. Obviously the talent there is crazy but his year there is more impressive than anything Grinch has done as a DC. He is also pretty young.
I know he was boozing hard at Washington. He also Wilcox as his DC and Lupoi as his DL coach.
Good hires, IMO. Haha

It’s true though, we’re not going to land a coach who has been very successful P5 head coach with a crap staff so the fact that he had Wilcox and Lupoi is a positive not a negative IMO.

That's all I can muster interest in. The Sark situation at USC was bad. I could see him being a HC somewhere again, but this is not the right place for it.

Why?

There were lots of issues at USC beyond the drinking. Granted Haden was the AD at the time so the whole department was a mess, but there were other behavioral issues with Sark as well that went into the decision to fire him. And on top of that, he just wasn't that great of a coach. He recruited well, but never produced. That's what got him the nickname "Seven win Steve." Then, when he gets fired, he proceeds to sue USC for $30 million.
So he needs to go the Kiffin route and coach somewhere like UCF before getting another P5 opportunity, IMO. I don't think RG is going to want to deal with all that.
I mean, maybe a lot of those behavioral issues stem from having a messed up personal life. The one full year he had at USC wasn't even that bad. They were traveling like 50 kids to games right? Completely limited roster from the sanctions I thought. Obviously it came off the rails the following year but hard to use it against him with what was going on.
I will always defer to you with USC knowledge though. I just think that a rehab year under Saban is a lot better than going to FAU.

The sanctions ended in 2012. Sark didn't become HC until 2014 so he had a full roster.
Why do I remember them going to Boston College and getting beat because they could only travel under 50 players. Was that injury related? I remember watching it at the CU game.

I can buy Sark, he is damaged goods but he has connections, experience, has won and has won and recruited in the P12. He would be the closest thing to a homerun we can muster this time of year. Besides everyone needs a second chance and how much worse can it get at CU? We’re looking for a new coach for the 2nd time in a little over a year, shoot for the moon. We can’t get much worse or be more embarrassed then we’ve been.

No, SC had a full roster that game. There were a handful of injuries, but nothing major. It was just another disappointing performance for a USC team under Sark.
Are you okay?
for me!

I know but still. I’m sad, this is a ridiculous situation. I’m glad it’s the weekend, I need a lot of whiskey to forget this week.

We break down the biggest story lines that bring together the Boston College Eagles and the USC Trojans. Last year's matchup was a blowout, see what we expect this time around.

55 Players made the trip to Boston.
Any list with Vance Joseph is a good one. My liver would love that hire.
You shut your mouth! If we were both in school at the same time, that would make him 35 years old. Fact!

55 scholarship players is a full traveling squad.
I am pretty sure it is around 70 for conference games and OOC games are not limited.

Didn't Kiffin do some tricky stuff to kind of delay the sanctions? He was always oversigning or doing early signees and counting them backwards or something?
idk, I'm sure 9-4 wasn't the dream for USC fans, but I'm not really factoring in his time at USC much. He just wasn't there long enough to know much from it.
serenity's point about him suing USC is a good one, though. I'm sure an AD won't like to read that.

That's a little low, but nothing major for USC. They did have 7-8 injured players out for the game. But it's not the reason they lost.
