    Prelude to a firing. Time for Haden to go too. Can Haden fire himself?

    AD Pat Haden said he was "unhealthy".

    Cop out answer. Say it was for booze or you just didn't like the guy and want to push him out.

    There's gonna be more to come on this story. I'm interested.

    Based on the Arizona State result, maybe Steve Sarkisian coached better when he wasn't sober #USC

    He just lost to UW at home. The 2nd time this year as 17 point favorites that USC lost straight up.

    He should be on a friggin bender.

    His moves in that game made no sense, especially the 4th and 1 with 12 seconds left in the first half at 3-3. He goes, barely gets the first down and only has time for one play anyways before kicking the easy FG. And they almost ran the clock out as well and got nothing.

    the media is really brushing off the medication part and almost excusing him for it. he is clearly abusing prescription medication and is an alcoholic and drug addict. when you are fukked up at work on pills and liquor, you are an addict. it's not some "oh my bad, it's my medicine" bullshit.

    He won't you can't have a alcoholic as the face of the program...not now anyways that it's on full display sounds like everybody including Haden knew sark had a very serious drinking problem for a long time looked the other way...local beat writers and radio show saying he would just vanish during practice on multiple occasions they think passed out in his office or other rooms ...so that explains A lot about usc and them falling on their faces. There's no way they save his job for him he was going to be fired anyways it's a way to get rid of him without usc having to actually fire him.

    Wonder if there was any indication of him drinking at Washington?

    Drinking after a game is nothing new. To do it during the game and disappearing at practice is another level. He's pretty much drinking around the clock


    he may resurface somewhere and coach again but ya he's gotta be done at USC. If this isn't rock bottom I don't know what is

    I'd like to see Sark and CC Sabathia on set Saturday night giving highlights from the games and post season baseball. Hell, bring in Joe Namath as well. Good tv right there.

    Guy is getting buried. Can't think of a worse town than L.A. to have a meltdown. Too bad they already made the 30 for 30 on USC. This will be a train wreck of tales of him being drunk throughout his coaching career. Salacious tell-all TMZ shit.

    If a dude wants to be a lady there's an outpouring of support. Someone has an addiction and he's buried. Strange times we live in
