As news broke late Saturday night of Lane Kiffin's firing at USC, the path has been cleared for the one solution that would make everyone excited. Steve Sarkisian to USC, Jimmy Mora to UW. Far fetched? Of course. But it's the move that would restore natural order to the Pac-12 universe.

Visor superiority guy.
Looking south in the Pac-12, who would want to coach down there anywhere near L.A.? Sure, I believe Mora would come back to Seattle to coach football at UW in a heartbeat, but there's no way, even if Sarkisian should leave, that Woodward is going to hire even a distant Don James protégé.
Don't forget that Pool Boy believes this football thing should be done the "Oregon Way" and he likes promoting coordinators to rookie head coaching positions rather than doing the right thing by hiring an established head coach away from another program.
Should the wishes or dreams of many here actually come true and we see Sark jumping on a plane back to L.A. to replace Kiffin at Troy, Woodward will make the economic move and promote Wilcox on the cheap to the Husky head job. Mora as before will be shunned without receiving even the time of day from UW and will continue rebuilding a UCLA powerhouse.
Wilcox or Mora...... either way we would see a defensive mind back in the head coaching position for the first time since Halfbright and that to my mind would be better than a poke in the eye.
But first, Sark must leave Montlake either under his own volition or by getting fired, both of which are fantasy football. Sark simply isn't good enough (yet?) to receive any offers of a better job and he'd have to do far worse with Husky Football to ever be in trouble with Pool Boy.
I seriously doubt he can lead the team to these two wins, but perhaps he has new found "hypothetical" incentive to show the program has returned to elite status.
If Sark leaves, I also believe Pool Boy wouldn't give any consideration to hiring Mora, or any competent, proven HC.
But, I would rather take our chances with Wilcox than be stuck with Sark.

I talked to Pat Haden this morning. They want Sark bad, but as I said, Scott won't let that happen. The extension will be announced after the win over Stanford.
Fuck off
Hi Pat.
