USC head coach Steve Sarkisian is tired of your dumb questions and comments during practice, and now he’s making sure that he won’t hear them anymore.
In an attempt to tie up loose ends and make sure that USC’s practices are all about, well, football, he’s elected to ban parents from practices.
The policy was put in place over the weekend, and the team’s head coach announced why he chose to do it during a press conference on Wednesday.
“I just felt like it was the best interest for our football team,” Sarkisian said Wednesday, as transcribed by Larry Brown Sports. “I want to give our players the best chance to come out here every day, perform really well and not worry about any outside distractions, be able to come over to you guys and express themselves in a positive light, and when it’s done, if they want to go have breakfast or lunch with their families, that’s great.
“But I just felt like, in the best interest of our team, it was the right thing to do. Time will tell. We’ll see what happens.”
The Trojans need to do whatever they can to limit distractions, both on and off the field. And with all he’s going through right now, the last thing Sark needs is a heckling parent chewing him out from the cheap seats. This was the right move and certainly a logical one.
