USC assistant head coach Steve Sarkisian will call plays for the Trojans next season with Lane Kiffin going to the Raiders.
Sarkisian will be granted complete control of the offense following the Raiders’ surprising hire of Kiffin, who is only 31-years-old and never coached in the NFL.
“(Sarkisian) is going to assume all of the responsibility,’’ USC coach Pete Carroll said. “He will be in charge of the offense. He’s going to take over all of it.”
