[Waldner] Sarkisian chose family over ego - Daily Breeze
...Ask Steve Sarkisian.

Ask him about how very close he came to becoming coach of the Oakland Raiders...

...Sarkisian understands where Thomas Jefferson was coming from when he wrote those spine-tingling words, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

His decision was about happiness. It was about now. It was about his life and the life of his family now. It was about being a young man who does not have a runaway ego.

If Sarkisian had been working in Buffalo, not USC, would he have taken the Raiders' offer?

"I would have taken the job,"
he said...
