'I think I’ve become, actually, more comfortable in that role since the beginning -- six years ago -- to now. I have a much better understanding and feel for recognizing the game and the defense.''
USC’s offense improved last season after Kiffin was fired and offensive coordinator Clay Helton called plays. Helton remains in that role, but when it comes to calling plays, he serves only an advisory role to Sarkisian.
''I feel very comfortable doing it,'' Sarkisian said. ''Do I want to be perfect? Sure. I want to wake up one Sunday morning and think, `Gosh, that was great, I wouldn’t change a thing.’ But so far that hasn’t happened, in six years, so I’ve got to keep striving for it.''
Sark is quite the intellectual. How anyone bought into the bullshit this guy spews is beyond me.
