Steve Sarkisian Selling Mansion

Posted on by

Hot Property: Steve SarkisianIf you thought Lane Kiffin owned quite a place, it’s no match for Steve Sarkisian’s $9.5 million Rolling Hills estate that is on the market according to the Los Angeles Times. It’s a 5.21-acre lot with a 2,200-gallon koi pond, tennis court, swimming pool and putting green.

There’s also 18 televisions inside the massive 8,250-feet square foot mansion.  Oh, and a wine cellar plus a kegerator. Photo/Redfin

    • It’s funny how marriage can become so unbearable after the spouse gets a huge pay increase.

        • Nice point. But you have to admit money beats whatever is second best by a mile.

          • Mr. Owns, Money is not the Root of all Evil….LOVE of money is.

            Besides if money was so great why didn’t my friend John Wooden include it in his Pyramid of Success?

    • If they are attached to the wall, they are part of the house. Besides, what is he going to do with 18 TV’s in his new home/hotel room anyway? Come to think of it, what did he do with 18 TV’s to start with?

      • Good point. The mere fact that Sark had 18 TVs makes me think he’s got some rocks in his head. The way he’s been looking lately, I thought maybe he had 18 fridges too.

        • They way technology rapidly changes, from year to year, and given the ultra low prices at your local Costco, TV’s are virtually disposable….now, having said that, I will be watching my 2009 42″ LG plasma until it either dies, or falls off the wall…..THEN, I have my eyes on getting a new 60″ Samsung 4K LED….

          • My 2003 42″ plasma (which cost $5K) is in the guest room and has been updated with a 42″ LED for $500. There aren’t many product lines that have increased in functionality and decreased in price over the years than TVs. Unfortunately, TV services have the opposite characteristics.

  3. If they get their asking price, then they stand to to profit $1.5 million only a year after buying it for $8 million….

  6. With the house that big why sell?? His wife and he can live in the house together and never see each other…Divorce is a sad event… I guess his wife wanted half of the 9.5 million! For that, Sark’s wife should have called the plays.

  7. First, a house up on the “hill” is not quite the same as one in the “flatlands” of Redondo Beach to Manhattan Beach. (Note: beachfront or near the beach land is pricey)

    Second, I guess it is better to be a football coach than a doctor or lawyer if you want expensive digs. (Note: Oh, you had better make that a HEAD coach, which is difficult to become)

    Third, love women but don’t marry them. Marriage is a contract, fools, one you don’t need (especially if you have money). And it ruins many-a-relationship because, well, it is so tempting to get one’s hands on all that dough.

    • Mr. Wolcott, just curious, if you bought Mr. Sark’s house, would you have all 18 TV’s ripped out purely on principle, or just leave them turned off.

      • I have never owned a television, honest.

        Of course I have seen television shows, and I admit there are entertaining shows on t.v, but once seen how much of the content sticks with you?

        So what did folks do for entertainment before the invention of t.v.?– Talk, tell stories, hike around the neighborhood. get more sleep? Live better?

  8. This is all good. Sark has to sell his huge koi pond to pay off the bitter ex after he had all those affairs. He now needs to keep his high-paying SC gig or he’ll be set back hugely on his balance sheet and in the coaching ranks. The Kiffer had to do it his way (Pete Carroll said so) and he went down swinging in the parking lot.

    Sark, in order to avoid the same fate, might actually be forced to recognize his coaching weaknesses and make some changes we’ve been hoping for (like drop the OC tag).

    As I said, this is all good for USC football. Would have been much better for Sark if he had a prenup, but he didn’t and now we’ll see how he does selling real estate when all the buyers know he has to sell and his wife is spewing lies about him all over Rolling Hills. Life can turn on a dime.

    • Is the sarkisian’s divorce amicable? If it isn’t usc could be in a lot of trouble. I remember when lute Olson was coaching at Arizona, and he and his wife had an ugly divorce. It was so bad that he had to take the year off from coaching.

      • Most divorces aren’t amicable when there’s a lot of money combined with kids and prolonged adultery. Bad mix.

        Sark’s in no position to take any time off from coaching. He needs money more than ever now, so I figure he might be more motivated to correct his mistakes, since most coaches are both stubborn and egotistical and need to be pushed to make big changes.

        I actually suspect Sark’s ready to drill down on his career and come out fighting. But If he’s not strong enough to handle the job now, then I say get him off the payroll and l move on.

        • I bet if pat Haden knew the sarkisian’s marriage was in turmoil, he would have hired someone else.

          • Sark’s rep as a real player developed when he was at Washington and there were definitely leaks. So Haden should have known. This was not a secret by any means. It usually never is.

            Of course Carroll’s frequent Internet discussed philandering didn’t stop the Seahawks from offering one of the best contracts ever. In many ways, it’s still a man’s world.

    • Jackie…our newest Torgan Brain Surgeon!!!! He knows a buzzword when he hears one…like…’prenep’…PRENEP for WHAT? Eighteen years ago when sarkiffian got married….he had just gotten out of college….PRENEP FOR WHAT????
      Once a RAH RAH….FOREVER A RAH RAH…
      feiyhite ung!!!!

      • Go back to a UCLA board. Oh wait, you don’t go to UCLA boards! You only troll here!

          • Interesting how you cut-and-paste other reader’s comments – are you trying out for Scottie’s job?

          • Interesting how there seems to be an epidemic among the rah rahs, Dr Rachel Maddow of Inside USC. You all suffer from thin-skin. Perhaps you can diagnose why you and your brethren can dish it out but can’t take it

  9. I realize Steve sarkisian makes a lot of money coaching at usc, but how does he make those mortgage payments on that house. That’s a house that a Hollywood a-lister would live at!

  10. Per the multiple ‘tv’s – remember some 6-8 years ago when one of the big selling points was the ability to watch multiple games or channels simultaneously – voila – no more save then the sports network ‘permit’ that usually close of a season – maybe he liked to see more than one game at a time but yeah that is a lot of television.

    What a fool to get into an affair or affairs – it’s out there for all to speculate about and that has to impact game management this coming year.

  11. Without Pete Carroll, trust me Steve Sarkisian would not be livin in a house like that!

  12. Sark selling his house really isn’t “Inside USC,” its more like TMZ!

    • Wolf has already been pepper sprayed for violating his restraining order to stay off the property. So no inside USC edition of cribs.

  14. Scott, work on the grammar. Please? You make your editors look really bad and devalue whatever college degree you obtained.

  15. 5.21 acres of prime So Cal land for 9.5mil is a steal. A smart operator could conceivably spread some cash, get the zoning laws relaxed and subdivide into 1/8 acre lots and generate maybe fifty mil in revenue and have a .21 acre lot for free.

  16. Mr. Jenkins wonders if there’s a wet bar in any of those TV rooms. The many comments about divorce here is also enlightening … no wonder there are so many bitter posters on this blog.

  17. All I’m concerned with are the results on the field, who cares how Steve Sarkisian and his wife live? And if he wants to live large, he better win large, I can tell you that right now,because the fall from that high up, can be devastating .
