If he is interested, which I doubt, he would be a great assistant as WR/QB coach. Pete Carrol tried to get him for the Seahawks and Sarkassian offered him the QB coaching position at USC, but he wasn’t interested. He told me that the only place he would consider coaching would be Pitt.
Even though he is doing broadcasting now for the PAC-12 network, he still works with QBs as part of the Elite Eleven staff and he is one of the evaluators who determines which QBs, WRs and DBs get invited to the Elite Eleven. He is a hell of an evaluator of QB talent. He pushed to get Jamiess Winston into the Elite Eleven when some others thought he would be a college WR and Winston ended up as the MVP. Without disclosing names, I can tell you that his private evaluations of how QBs will do in college and whether they will be good pros are probably right 80 to 90% of the time — and that is based on evaluating them in 10th or 11th grade.
