USC's Lowest Blow Ever

USC's Lowest Blow Ever

You do not kick a man when he is down. That is the lowest blow anyone or any organization can deliver.

Such is what happened yesterday.

The University of Southern California's Athletic Director, Pat Haden, announced the termination of head football coach Steve Sarkisian, only one day after Haden asked him to take a leave of absence to deal with his alcohol problems, to which he had agreed.

I used to have great respect for Mr. Haden, the former standout quarterback for both the USC Trojans and the LA iteration of the NFL's Rams. Not anymore. What he did was very disrespectful. You do not kick a man when he is down. EVER!!!

------------------------------

December 13 2015 Footnote: Last week, Sarkisian took USC to court for wrongful termination, which of course, the school's administration says they'll vigorously defend. I pray for a Sarkisian victory in the case, and in staying sober.

------------------------------

DECEMBER 2016 UPDATE: In 2016, Sarkisian's predecessor at USC, Lane Kiffin (Alabama's offensive coordinator) got him hired as an offensive consultant (booth jockey) at Alabama. With Kiffin's departure to become head coach at Florida Atlantic, Sarkisian will become Alabama's offensive coordinator. The lawsuit with USC will go to arbitration.

------------------------------

FEBRUARY 7, 2017 UPDATE: Well, that didn't last long... After losing the CFP Championship game to Clemson, Sarkisian and Saban weren't getting along, and he's going to be the new offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, after their previous one, Kyle Shanahan, bolted following the robbery by the officials in Stupor Bowl LI to become the new head coach in San Francisco.

Thank you for your support. (And not in the Bartles & James way LOL )

And you are right about that, unfortunately. Too many people in the weirld like that. (Intentional typo, BTW )
