Was only a matter of time

Here is a statement from USC athletic director Pat Haden:

"After careful consideration of what is in the best interest of the university and our student-athletes, I have made the decision to terminate Steve Sarkisian, effective immediately.

"I want to thank Clay Helton for stepping into the interim head coach role, and I want to add how proud I am of our coaching staff and players and the way they are responding to this difficult situation.

"Through all of this we remain concerned for Steve and hope that it will give him the opportunity to focus on his personal well being."

And some think our AD is an incompetent boob.

I bet Chip Kelly gets hired as USC Head Coach after he gets fired in Philadelphia following the season

 

[Aesius]

Do they have to pay Sark's buyout? Or does coaching while drunk constitute a fireable offense?

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I feel bad for him. Addiction is a monster. I hope he gets the help he needs.

What makes you think he's going to be fired? They struggled a bit out of the gate, but the Eagles aren't a complete dumpster fire like the Saints.

I think a losing season gets him fired in Philly

Source on why #USC & Pat Haden made the move now to fire Sarkisian & was told they'd learned that more bad behavior had occurred/may surface

Haden coming after Butch?

Hopefully he goes after Nick Saban. USC could afford his price

With cost of living and taxes. They would have to double to make it worth it.

 

[508mikey]

They might go after the Utah coach

I would imagine that voids the contract. Had to be a violation of code of conduct on some level.

Time to make another run at Tee.

Is Joey Freshwater a candidate?

No mattress on any campus feels safe now.

That was fast.

There's no chance Chip gets fired after this season. He could lose out and still be back next year.

The guy won 10 games each of his first two seasons. He was just given full control this past off-season. No way in hell Lurie wants to start all over after one bad season.

 

[Dudleys87]

They'll get who they want. There's no shortage of people that would jump at the opportunity.

I still think they messed up not letting O have his chance
