SEATTLE (AP) -Of the countless text messages that landed in Steve Sarkisian ‘s inbox following Washington’s upset of USC, one stood out.
“Well, you should retire now,” wrote Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin, a former colleague of Sarkisian’s at USC.
All joking aside, the idea that in Sarkisian’s first year after inheriting an 0-12 program he would be needing to guard against a letdown following a huge upset seemed laughable. But that’s the case this week as the No. 24 Huskies prepare for Stanford.
Sarkisian says while the congratulations, attention and pats on the back are great, the USC win is in the past and the Washington coaches will make sure the players understand that.
