Sark where art thou? Was he fired today?

[GeekSportsFan]

If he stayed on you know there would be an absolute catastrophe just waiting to happen. Hopefully he's hit his bottom and can climb back up.

Think I'd rather be kiffin'd than sark'd.

Sark's career is over.

 

[WizardHawk]

He must have just gone a very quick and dark path.

1. He was on staff before so evidently at that time his problem was contained or USC would have known.
2. We didn't hear of any issues like this at Washington.

The USC thing must have been just too much pressure.

Actually, it was fairly well known in closed circles around the campus that Sark had a substantial drinking problem while he was here. It's just those in the media that knew about it, didn't report it. He was known to be drunk at several booster events and he ran up bar tabs all over town. It just didn't hit this extreme until he went down there and added not only more stress, but a divorce on top of it.

Was the divorce because of the drinking? IDK, but we've all seen that make drunks double down on their addiction.

He's in a very bad place either way and lets hope he gets the help he needs.

Still, can't believe UW sent him off the deep end and basically ended his career. Not often winning a football game does that.

OD hates Miami too right?

Can we fire up a Chip Kelly to Miami avatar?

Well, if this was known around UW, would it not have filtered down to SC? Maybe they knew and were working with Sark behind the scenes?????

 

[WizardHawk]

I could actually see Kelly at Miami. No way he goes to USC or Texas and I can't see him returning to Oregon for that matter, but a school like Miami where he can recruit and where they wouldn't hassle him for his lack of people skills would fit perfect. Just perfect.

I don't think it was to this extent so he was more or less riding the fence of having a problem, but not one worth doing anything about at that time.

One of our radio personalities here said he saw him drunk many times, but the events he saw it at he was invited 'off the record' and honored the terms that anything that happened there wouldn't be reported. There were others with similar comments. I don't think he was ever disciplined for it, or at least not that has come out. It's just known he drank a lot.

 

[GeekSportsFan]

You are right. I remember reading that he was not crazy about the glad handing that the Oregon boosters wanted and expected, and that is a must at SC. I say let's go for Ed Orgeron! COACH O! COACH O! COACH O!

LOL!!

Now that one seems fitting

 

[B_dub]

Glad he's getting help.

 

[DHoey]

I hope he gets better, substance abuse is no joke.

 

[4down20]

USC didn't feel the sanctions were enough punishment, so they hired Sark.

 

[RegentDenali]

They're now saying he was smashed during the ASU game.

I find that hard to believe. If he was, or they even suspected that he was loaded, and they let him coach the game, that would be huge.

 

[bamafan4evr12]

They're now saying he was smashed during the ASU game.

I don't know if I believe that...I'd believe though if he was tipsy somewhat

 

[craigk217]

What horrible news ...

What horrible timing ....

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

I'd bet he quit drinking and turned into a pu$$y, solely going by life experience.

Sark would be so cool if he didn't suck at coaching.
