I don't think so. He is 55 now. I don't see Les retiring for at least 5 or 6 years. LSU will look for somebody younger than O will be then.
So Helton is back for his second stint as the interim guy. USC visits Notre Dame on Saturday. A year ago the Trojans whipped the Irish 49-14 and everything seemed promising. It wasn’t. The Los Angeles Daily News reported that Sarkisian celebrated that win by drinking a bottle of Patron Silver. Apparently no one was concerned.
Let me start with the Daily News' Scott Wolf is as reliable as the Star or the Enquirer. He is the least respected sportswriter in Los Angeles. The article did not say he drank a bottle....it did say he drank several shots. This is not a problem that started 1.5 years ago when Sarkisian returned. He drank in Washington.....today former Husky players are making jokes about it on twitter. What that tells me is that Sark's behavior wasn't all that different from what probably goes on in plenty of places around the country. But most folks can stop or control their choices because they aren't alcoholics. Shame on all the people who today, are coming out of the Seattle cherry tree wood......dozens who claim they saw Sark drinking to excess but never said anything or held him accountable. I watched his presser today. He's not going anywhere....not anytime soon. The other sackless dip a.k.a. USC President Max Nikias, provided a glowing letter of support today. My hope is that Pat voluntarily resigns/retires at the end of the season. He's been a great Trojan and all but he has completely mishandled this situation. He is too soft, too wrapped up in emotions to make tough but necessary decisions. I don't trust him and I have no faith in his abilities at this point.
Coaches have foibles. Curley Hallman never had a public scandal, but he was a drinker and many people had seen him drunk. I actually stood behind him in line at the Circle K, two nights after he was fired and he was buying a 12-pack of Coors. And who can forget Mike Price who managed to pass out drunk, wake up with a prostitute, and get fired before his first game at Bama.
Imagine getting fired from Alabama for lack of integrity. That's gotta be like being booted out of the Rainbow Coalition for being too gay.
Don't forget they ordered like 2 or 3 of everything off the room service menu, probably wiped out the insanely over-priced mini bar as well
I mean really. Who leaves a whore alone in their 4-star hotel room? She's not your girlfriend, Mike! Say, "Gotta go. Hit the road, babe." In the words of St. Charles of Sheen, you aren't paying her for sex, you're paying her to leave.
