The reason why Sark is the USC Coach is because he is a butt kisser. I changed from a Pete Carroll disciple to a USC hater when Sark was hired. Sark was an unwanted coach wallowing at a community college when Norm Chow gave him an opportunity to get out. He never was anything to start off with. Check out Wikipedia and draw your conclusions? Sark was going to be fired at Washington so AD Pat Haden found a butt kisser and this is the evolution. FYI, USC has a venue of 94,000 and having 45,000, before Pete Carroll, did not bother USC at all. Also, USC fired Kiffen because the arrogant USC was going to be humiliated on a national ESPN Thursday game. The fan base was going to execute a humiliation on the University on national television. It was going to get bad and ESPN would not have another game to change to. The powers, at USC, knew this and stopped the slap in the face imminent coming their way.
