Did USC hire Sarkisian partly because they thought Mora would take the UW job?

The thought had to have at least crossed Pat Haden's mind, no? Mora is 2-0 vs USC so far and has "taken" Los Angeles from the Trojans. As long as he's at UCLA times could be tough for the men of Troy.

USC > UCLA However the Sarkisian hire is puzzling to me for USC....

What? That's absurd 
Posted on 12/6/13 at 8:15 pm to benhamin5555
i mean it probably didn't hurt but i can't see that being much of a factor
Posted on 12/6/13 at 8:24 pm to benhamin5555
I highly doubt it

Is it? I mean the Sark higher doesn't make a whole lot of sense...he's a decent coach but there's better options out there for sure.

Why doesn't it make sense to you? He's a former USC assistant with strong ties to California

No, when Mora made the comment about wanting the Washington job bad, he was unemployed. He has a great job now

No, he was the head coach of the Falcons at the time and it got him in big trouble.
Today made me complete forget about Mora anyways.

Good point

I used to think Haden was shrewd, but I think this Rhodes Scholar bitch just got played.

Haden wants to be loved...and played it safe. He's never had to make tough decisions - he only fired Kiffin once the entire fanbase turned.
Powerful SC boosters close to Haden love Sark - the heir apparent under Petey before Sark left for UW.
Sark is LA guy - with big recruiting ties - and they think he fits in better with USC (easy transition) and with the USC/cache name will do better than at UW...USC people although to be fair, he did turn around an 0-12 disaster - a program Ty Willingham basically buried.
Public thinks it's a bad hire - those close to USC think it's a homerun hire. Sark is young - will grow - Time will tell.

My guess is sark will do everything right that lane did wrong.

I do think that Sark could be successful there. It's playing with fire a bit with him though. He knows nothing about running a defense. He literally didn't touch it and left it all up to Wilcox. Sark's success will rely heavily on the quality of DC he hires.

Sark isn't even a good coach. Washington got a huge upgrade.
