Steve Sarkisian apologized today for being drunk and making inappropriate comments in front of 3,000 fans. Former basketball coach Kevin O’Neill was suspended in 2011 after drinking and arguing with an Arizona fan at an L.A. Live bar after a Pac-10 Tournament game.
Why was O’Neill’s punishment more severe? It could have been for several games but USC lost the next Pac-10 Tournament game without him. Perhaps the fact Haden hired Sarkisian but not O’Neill had something to do with it.
Wolf focusing on a negative story…..there’s something you don’t see every day.
Probably shouldn’t matter, but O’Neil’s performance as a HC was flatlining. Sark’s on the rise. And Sark wasn’t about to brawl with someone like Kevin was. Kev seemed like an angry drunk. Sark was simply drunk – both terrible, but one perhaps less so.
A couple of 4th quarter collapses and Sark may be on the hot seat. Right now the event is an anomaly. If there is a pattern, punishment might escalate.
Apparently this isn’t an anomaly, he acted like this at UW.
Sark will be suspended. SC will lose 4 games. Sark will pretend to go to rehab and SC fans will pretend they’re happy.
Jesus, you’re an idiot. KO got into it with an opposing team’s fan. Sark got into it with no one. Get the difference? No, of course you don’t.
That’s right, KO insulted some obnoxious UA fan while Cutty Sark insulted prominent alumni and his own boss.
Gotta give you props for the Cutty Sark line
Actually Jack coined it.
I think Wolf (as well as the national press) is simply pointing out that being totally hammered in public is a problem as a coach. Please stop cyber bullying the Wolfman.
I wonder if the boys on the bus realize now that the driver is drunk.
Attention High School Seniors, don’t get on this bus.
Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Trojans.
You sound like a troll. You can delete my post or ban me if you want as well.
Wolf definitely trolls his own blog, which makes it easier for the UCLA trolls to fit in here.
…but it FEELS so RIGHT….
Wolf cannot possibly be that obtuse. KO was suspended for getting into an altercation with boosters for an opposing team at an official Pac-12 sanctioned event and then getting banned from the team hotel.
bold stuff, wolfman!! if HH has HALF he guts you do, things would be different!
