USC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian will be named Washington coach, multiple sources told ESPN on Thursday night.
Sarkisian, who was quarterback at BYU, led the Cougars to a 13-1 finish in 1996. The 34-year-old has been the offensive coordinator at USC for two seasons. He was up for the Raiders head coaching job last year before it went to fellow USC assistant Lane Kiffin, who earlier this week was named head coach at Tennessee.
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, Fresno State coach Pat Hill and Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly also interviewed for the job. Washington also persued Seattle Seahawks coach-in-waiting Jim Mora.
