Former UW coach Steve Sarkisian avoided heat from Husky honks by winning this year’s Apple Cup.
Monday, the former USC assistant headed south to take the job . The climate is warmer, but Coach Sark might get a cold shoulder from some of the players.
USC players seemed to develop quite a bond with Ed Orgeron, who took over mid-season after Lane Kiffin was unceremoniously sacked. Orgeron quit after not being offered the job full-time.
Words can’t explain how I’m feeling right now….just lost a father. Way more than a coach #coachO
