USC fires Steve Sarkisian, ending Maryland's reign having best open head coaching job in the country

A day after letting leak his problems with alcohol, the University of Southern California fired head football coach Steve Sarkisian on Monday. This is actually a bit relevant to Maryland. When Maryland fired Randy Edsall about 28 hours ago (as of this writing), it opened up what was the single best head coaching job (and one of just two) in college football. With Sarkisian out and USC looking for a replacement, there's now one job better than Maryland's, which could make a difference down the line. Sarkisian's firing is pretty uncomfortable, by the way, and could get ugly.
