Steve Sarkisian Reportedly Seeking Treatment, Will Take Leave Of Absence From USC
Before the season, USC coach Steve Sarkisian was escorted out of a “Salute to Troy” kickoff event after getting piss drunk and firing out dildo jokes to attendees. Now, after a rocky 3-2 start to “Seven Win Steve” and the Trojans’ season, Sarkisian has been asked to take a leave of absence from the program after showing up today “in no condition to work.”
Am told by multiple sources Steve Sarkisian showed up in no condition to work today & #USC brass knows he needs serious help.

We all have our vices, and the past few USC coaches have been no exception. Lane Kiffin is “allegedly” a womanizer, Ed Orgeron is no stranger to restraining orders, and Pete Carroll is a 9/11 truther. Alcohol doesn’t seem that bad in comparison. You hate to see it get to this point, but hopefully Sarkisian can get his shit together before it’s too late..

Getting paid millions of dollars and showing up drunk is TFM

10 years ago at 6:33 pmMy grandfather had a severe case of alcoholism. It’s a disease and it destroys family. Proud to say he’s been 20 years sober. Saved his career, his marriage, and his family. Let this man get help.
10 years ago at 6:34 pmI couldn’t agree more as much as we don’t want to say the “A word,” it is a serious problem, I’m just glad to see he’s getting help.
