USC head coach Steve Sarkisian was fired a short time ago, just one day after being asked to take a leave of absence from the program.

While Trojan AD Pat Haden announced the move, it’s been reported by USC beat writer Lindsey Thiry that some USC players were kept in the dark on Sarkisian’s termination until the news broke publicly.

Some #USC players are finding out via Twitter that Sarkisian is fired. Position coaches also have texted their players.
