Sarkisian to cede ‘SC play-calling duties to OC
Well, for the most part he will.
Off the field, Steve Sarkisian has seen a series of significant developments this offseason, from a divorce to apologizing for “behavior, inappropriate language” to seeking treatment for a potential alcohol issue. Saturday night, Sarkisian unveiled a rather significant on-field development.
According to the USC head coach’s post-practice pronouncement, coordinator “Clay Helton will assume more of the offensive play-calling responsibilities” for the Trojans this season. The athletic department’s official Twitter account writes that “Sarkisian has been developing the plan to cede play-calling duties to Helton since spring football.”
The fact that this official ceding of a major part of Sarkisian’s role comes so close to his very public off-field issues being laid bare would qualify as a little more than coincidental, although that’s not the way it’s being couched.

Last season, with Sarkisian wearing both the head-coaching and play-calling hats, the 9-4 Trojans were tied for 22nd nationally in points per game at 35.8. That average was good for fourth in the Pac-12; the Trojan defense was fifth in the conference in ppg at 25.2.

Which brings up the interesting question: Was Sarkisian sober or was he actually "under the influence" when he was calling the plays the last 2 seasons?
