Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Which outcome is likelier to hasten Seven's exit? Upset win or 10th consecutive loss?

    we're going to win more than seven games this year, something either 9-4 or 10-3. It's not gonna be a couple of years if ever before he gets canned. And there is no way USC goes back to the Carroll coaching tree again

    They get it. USC's self-image is such that they believe they can get who they want. Why would they start with Mr. Dreamy? They just did that with Kiffin.

    Ted Tollner and Paul Hackett disagree.
    yeah, ok. let me amplify all my comments. so when I use phrases here like "no way that happens" or "they're not going to do this" or "they won't do that", I don't mean that literally. I'm in the habit of sprinkling in the word "literally" when I'm being literal. the rest is husky msg. board hyperbole.

    sure, Sark could get lucky, catch a flier and get an NFL gig (responding to other posts in the thread) or charm his way back to USC. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual odds, which I can't calculate, are in the 10% range for either. as another poster pointed out, there are only so many people doing this job for a living, so it's not like looking for a lawyer or an accountant. the pool of candidates is limited.

    that said, and while I can't prove it by any means, something tells me the Kiffin experience will be fresh on their minds, which, again I can't prove it, should cause someone to think hard about Sarkesian and reflect on his role at SC while Carroll was there. None of Carroll's assistant coaches have done chit as a HC. Chow flamed. Orgeron was an unmitigated disaster. Mr. Handsome just got canned.

    I'm thinking someone there in the war room is going to say, "guys. the bloom is off the rose on the Pete era. the cat's outta the bag. it was Pete and a bunch of helpers. we don't want another helper, even if he is kinda cute."

    Tollner and Hackett are ancient history. every program, every single one, has hired shitty coaches. I don't see that as relevant to this prediction.

    I somehow stumbled on this thread through the search engine. This is full of win. From PLSS dooging it up for Sark at 4-1. To DNC and Creep thankfully be wrong saying no way USC is that FS to hire Sark.

    Great thread. Glory be to Pat Haden. It's amazing they would hire Kiffin's buddy after how bad Kiffin's run was, and how mediocre Sark was at UW. To be honest, I want Sark to flame out after 3 years. I don't want him being just good enough to stay for 8-10 years. USC needs to be good. They are in the South anyways. I think it helps the conference. Sark will be an embarrassment, just like Kiffin.

    I think the rule is that the over/under is always 5. I'll take the under.

    This is a great thread to bump. Smart money, hell even fairly dumb money, was on SC NOT being that stupid. It's fun to read the solid (but obvious) arguments about why they wouldn't be. Had me thinking it again..."no way..." then I got to the end and remembered that they did. It's a great feeling to relive.

    FREE PUB!!!

    Ha, I said Sark would never get hired away from UW in a ton of threads over the years. Never has crow tasted so damn good.

    Also love how PLSS said we'd be a top 10 team in 2014 with Sark yet with Petersen you can't expect more than 7 wins.
