Although Steve Sarkisian said he started thinking last spring about handing playcalling duties to Clay Helton, many people are suspicious because of the timing and believe it was done in response to last week’s Salute to Troy incident. What I find odd is there was never much talk about it beforehand because usually things like this come up well before the week of the season opener.
I am not sure how a drinking incident, relates to play calling duties? I think the timing of the announcement would relate more to the fact that there is a game this week..
But it would be nice to get some facts or theories behind your idea.. that the play calling duties and the drinking incident might be related
Or was this from a “source”?
Just useless pot stirring by the big G a r g a m e l (SW banned the use of this word! hahaahaha, silly Wolfy)
BM, sources says you and gooooooooooolllynerdy tore up Ventura Saturday night.
really wish I understood that means… Wait No i don’t!
This issue came up PLENTY of times for those that have been paying attention – notably against Notre Dame, when Helton called the plays.
It sure did come up..And now, Sark I believe ,said this was for the good of the team, and record.. Last year was Sark’s first year here and first with Helton.. right?.. So changes are being made. Steps in a good direction. SW has no desire to report Football.. For him USC is best when there’s controversy,especially when SW can create it…Football games start this week!!!! We wait for months for this !!! How much we have to look FORWARD to…
Sark had to give the play calling up, you can’t call plays full of pills and booze. On the other hand, he might call a better game full of pills and booze, I’m just saying.
Good job Wolf baiting us all into your non-controversy, amazing. You’ve been harping on this with Kiffin and then all last year. You pushed for the OC to call plays and let the HC manage the game. Now they took your sage advice, you should be gloating, with a big I told you so/it’s about time!
I have an idea Scott. Why don’t you check into, you know do some reporting find out some facts and get back to us instead of just asking passive aggressive questions.
TODAY’S POLL….
I find it ODD SW continues to bring up
Sark controversy that is meaningless ,when there’s so much Football to Discuss…… [….]
I prefer to hunt for conspiracy, and root out all evil that plagues USC football.
No matter if we play a game…[..]
Dah …..I don’t know […]
Oh brother here we go again. Another manufacturer controversy. .
Scottie, I guess you weren’t invited to the Coaches meetings where this has been discussed for the last 6 months. What? They didn’t keep you informed? Oh the shame.
SC is so bad that Ish Adams will score on them from jail.
He’s a CB he’s supposed to steal.
touche’
I had to chuckle too, that was kinda funny –
Lucky for the bRuins, the are pretty deep at corner, but who will return kicks??? Anybody? Anybody? Buelllerrrr???
Mr. Johnson, the freshman WR is a likely candidate.
But ruins punt and kickoff returners have been notoriously fumbled fingered and inept for a decade until Call Me Ishmael showed up. This is just a huge loss.
Of course, Jack.
They haven’t had a decent kick or punt returner since Maurice Jones Drew in 2005.
ucla’s Ismael Adams arrested for campus robbery. Currently in jail: $100,000 bond. Get on the case Wolfie. This is right in your wheelhouse and the Trolls want your comments, now!
Well, if all the indignant, self-righteous Bruin fans on this blog are any indication, I anticipate hearing from UCLA announcing that he has been immediately kicked off the team…. wait, what’s that, UCLA spokesperson?
“We are aware of the situation and continuing to gather information,” a UCLA spokesperson said in a statement. “As this is a pending legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”
Whuuuuuuuuttttt????
Mr. Wolf is over at Allstate Bail Bonds on Corinth signing docs.
LOL
My pal Harry Fradkin was THE MAN back in the day….Can’t ever forget his motto….
‘Don’t wait in JAIL, call Harry for Bail.’
I had to use his services on several occasions
because of some misunderstandings.
Adams will be easily replaced. If he did it, there’s zero excuse for Adam’s behavior.
Do you really have so little concern for the young man?
Easily replaced? He killed SC with his punt returns in 2013. He was your best player.
Now now, it’s 2015.
Lol.. .yeah he beat up Clown U on offense and Defense, was that the year the roaches cleared pizzzzz alley in the 3rd qtr, we got to know.. .
Must be a type or a misquote. We are sure he is going to be kicked off the team.
What does your Good Twin think should be done to this ruin miscreant?
I’d expect as much. Mora hasn’t put up with any sh*t since he’s been at UCLA.
Ya except for evading arrest while intoxicated behind the wheel after senior prom
Be interesting to see how long the LAPD spends investigating it. It took them until November to finally say Josh Shaw wouldn’t face charges. If he used force to steal it’s a felony.
I understand a starter as well – man talk about a mess < than a week before the season opener at home w.o. even the benefit of going on the road.
I’ll bet Adams was sober.
I’m willing to bet he wishes he wasn’t.
I’ll bet he regrets it like Sark. Or he is a straight thief.
Not hoping for the worse, but I bet he had a some grandpas Ol’ Cough medicine.
apparently he mixed a beer with his meds and boom! Look for him to get hit with a heavy set of burpees as punishment.
You think this bears comparison to Sark have at it – it doesn’t.
Whatever he drank or didn’t he’s in a bad place for: himself, his team and the school. This will dog the team a lot longer than what happened a week ago Saturday night over at Troy.
no doubt. Kids… but no, you’re wrong about dogging the team. One player versus a coach? Hardly the same.
The UCLA player has been accused of felony assault – you’re right it’s not the same.
All of us make mistakes – for this poor foolish kid it’s on his resume/record if he had any chance to play in the NFL.
You want to compare felony robbery to a guy just having 1 too many drinks and embarrassing himself?
You mean embarrassing the university.
Sure saying something stupid and using profanity is the same as robbery.
Its only a “debate” because Wolf is trying to make it so. So lame Wolf.
How does Wolf keep his job? TROLLS. That’s how.
Bravo, wolfman!!!
You saw right thru this phony story…borrOcho’s duties were STRIPPED. He dint voluntarily “hand them over” as. Soithern Cal suggests. Paddy Boy is setting up exit strategy….smart, Paddy Boy.
Buh Bye Ishamel! Shame shame! Drunken Uber robberies are unacceptable at this level
Again…Not hoping for the worst here but last week were taking shots left and right. My how the tables have turned.
I’m sure he’s a nice kid and hope the best for him (he sounds scrwed), but it’s kinda fun to throw it in the bRuin faces
They had fun with the Sark Drama.
UCLA defensive back Ishmael Adams has been arrested on suspicion of robbery on campus. His bail is set at $100,000.
Adams was taken into custody at 3:36 a.m. on Sunday, and according to UCLA, allegedly used force to take a cell phone away from an Uber driver.
Assault and battery? Oh my.
Et tu Billy??? I held you above the other trOXans, but to stoop to this muckraking… My sources tell me the kid simply picked up the wrong phone, I’ve done this probably a hundred times!! We got Myles Jack to return punts anyway, he’s been practicing, be carful what you trOXans wish for!!
#RushToJudgement
But from a purse Charlie? Blushing
Uber driver = purse? Only at Klown U.
Probably just kid shenanigans, we used to take the bus driver’s hat when I was a kid and we would toss it around the bus!! This driver was probably a “foreigner” if you get what I mean…
Oh sure he did………………….. BUHAAAAAAAAAA!!!
As usual, w/o a soupcon of evidence, wan, Klown’s U reigning fool, passes judgment.
I am just doing the same exact thing you trollies come here and do with your high and mighty selves. As the Mike Tyson character said on “In Living Color” I’m ludicrious and estatic!!
BJ cuts and pastes – Yawn.
Humf, let’s think of a good phrase for Ismael Adams situation that would be similar to Sark after Dark for the UGLY hypocrites – “If the shoes fit, you are a hypocrite………………. BAM HEAD SHOT TO THE CADRE!!!
Your Good Twin Juan Carlsoe would be appalled at your violent rhetoric.
Let’s see UCLA involve? OK media nothing to see here. Back page news at best.
What is an uber driver? Taxi?
It sounds like it may be the result of counseling. Less control could equal less planning which could equal more time for personal priorities. That could be a good thing.
Pat Haden will become another Al Davis, and run the USC football program from afar, because we all know Haden is the one who made the play calling decision . Steve Sarkisian will be micro managed by Haden, I guarantee !!
