  1. Good post Scottie! This is the inside USC football information that we look forward to everyday!! What was Sonny Dykes reaction? Can’t wait!!

      • Scott Wolf: Nick, did you react to USC hiring Steve Sarkisian?

        Nick Saban: I don’t even know what you’re talking about. You need to come here and walk around and follow me around for like a week. I haven’t seen the newspaper today, I don’t know what’s happening in the world. I watch The Weather Channel. For 10 minutes in the morning while I have a cup of coffee. So I know what the weather’s gonna be, so if we can practice inside or outside. What was it you asked me about the other day, like something came out, like I was supposed to be right on the edge of my seat. Like, you know, that’s all I’ve got to worry about.

  2. Was Shaw ever in the running? Or was this media hype as well? I’m curious since, according to Vanderbilt, Franklin was never in the running.

  3. I am sure that news was more important than getting his team ready to play in the PAC-12 Championship Game.

  4. Scottie, Please dig up that all important reaction info you can from John Robinson, Mike Garrett, Ted Tollner, Jim Mora and Mike Leach. I just gotta know. Also, if you could somehow chime in about how Marv Goux’s and Larry Smith’s surviving relatives feel about Sark, that would really be exciting to read. You are literally a godsend to us all, my friend. Is it possible for me to nominate you for a Pulitzer?

  5. You’re all missing the relevance – remember after the WA – Stanford game when Sarkisian accused Shaw of instructing his players to fake an injury? Shaw shot bac, at the Pac-12 media call in (all coaches ‘on line’) that Sarkisian’s own assistant, who previously had coached at OR was the one who had done that last year.

    This is getting back to the old USC vs. Stanford ‘face off’ reminiscent of the McKay – Ralston, Robinson – Walsh and of course Carroll – Harbaugh –

    Round one coming up next year at Palo Alto

    Sark vs. Shaw!

  6. Wolf, you ever take a look a Shaw at work? No reaction to anything, the face never changes. Why would he react to Sark.

    • I agree…… Shaw has this perpetually pensive look on his face…. like he’s taking an SAT exam and is stumped on answering a question….

  7. Apparently Coach Shaw feels the SUC’s unique football tradition is major load of feces. He said “it’s a gut feeling, and in the end I always go with the gut feeling.”

  8. Great answer by Shaw. His program is flying high right now, we’re doing out best to get there. It was similar to the media asking Kobe what he thought about LeBron going for his first title. “Not much….” Shaw doesn’t get into the fray. He’s class.
