Announced just now by the AD.

AD probably not far behind him

 

[ElCidBUZZingFAN]

Sounds like he's struggling with alcoholism.

The guy missed practice on Sunday. No one knew where he was. Talk was that he had a real bender on Sat night.

Sark was in way over his head at USCw.

How many screwups does the AD get before somebody fires him. I know the USCw faithful are starting to consider him part of the problem.

This falls back to the AD. Haden has royally screwed up that program since Carroll left for Seattle.

Incorrect. Haden didn't start the spiral. Former AD Mike Garrett hired Kiffen. This hire obviously looks awful now, but at the time, most people thought it was a solid one.

He will probably be double plus rich. I'll bet CA has all sorts of protections for state employees with substance abuse problems.

 

[Architorture23]

Sark has been known to have an issue with alcohol for awhile, apparently.

USC gotta do a 180, after firing a drunk, they need to hire a priest: Mark Richt

Second to GT winning a National Championship, Mark Richt winning a NC at SC in his first year would probably be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, football-wise. Imagine the mutthurt...

 

[RamblinWreck09]

They'll hire Chip Kelly. SC fans will be happy, Eagles fans will be happy, Phil Knight will set a bounty on his head.

 

[LegendaryGT]

Give the people what they want: Justin Fuente with top recruiting classes.

I believe USC is a private school.

 

[BigDanT]

After the season we are having I wouldn't blame CPJ for being drunk at the games too.

 

[WracerX]

I believe USC is a private school.

Didn't realize that. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't protections though.

correct

Absolutely, by the time it gets this bad, it's been common knowledge for a while and he's already had multiple warnings... very sad ... :frown:

Depends on whether the Americans with Disabilities Act and/or CA law protect him versus whether USC fired him for cause. At least as I understand it. Haden's statement didn't say if they're going to pay out his contract or not. Likely headed to the attorneys.
