Hayden said it was apparent he was in no condition to coach. Sad for this to happen to anyone.

Title: Re: Sark taking leave of absence Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 11, 2015, 05:57:39 PM Well, this is more detailed. Awful, awful stuff.
Quote Sarkisian was not in attendance at the Trojans' practice on Sunday afternoon. A player told ESPN's Shelley Smith via text that Sarkisian "showed up lit to meetings again today." Sarkisian showed up Sunday morning at USC and "he appeared not normal" and then was told to leave, a source told ESPN's Brett McMurphy. "They wouldn't let him come to practice," a source said. Quote A source told ESPN's Joe Schad that Sarkisian seemed "very emotional" on campus at USC before missing practice and that the "unusual" behavior had really not been seen since he mixed alcohol and prescription medication at a booster event prior to the season which led to a "zombie" type feeling and slurred words. http://espn.go.com/losangeles/college-football/story/_/id/13864229/usc-trojans-head-coach-steve-sarkisian-take-leave-absence Title: Re: Sark taking leave of absence Post by: bama87 on October 11, 2015, 06:23:30 PM This is getting worse by the moment. Maybe they should have stayed with Lane.
@InsideUSC: BREAKING: #USC assistants pulled Steve Sarkisian out of player huddle on sideline during Arizona State game.

Believed he was not sober I wondered about that myself a few times during the game when I caught a glimpse of him on TV. He just seemed like he was in a fog. Title: Re: Sark taking leave of absence Post by: Chechem on October 11, 2015, 06:44:14 PM Well, that stinks for him and his family.
Prayers that he gets sober and his life turns around. :pray: Title: Re: Sark taking leave of absence Post by: SUPERCOACH on October 11, 2015, 07:12:15 PM Well, that stinks for him and his family.

Prayers that he gets sober and his life turns around. :pray: I have never understood how folks get themselves into such a situation. So, so avoidable. Another life destroyed by liquor, just a total waste. Hope he can be saved. I worry about him harming himself.

Quote Linebacker Daelin Hayes, a five-star recruit, has pulled his commitment to USC in light of coach Steve Sarkisian’s leave of absence for reported substance abuse. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/top-recruit-daelin-hayes-decommits-from-usc--new-allegations-against-sarkisian-surface-001333506.html Title: Re: Sark taking leave of absence Post by: ricky023 on October 11, 2015, 08:59:18 PM I just pray he will get his life turned around. I don't know what his problem is, but his career is about over and I bet Haden did this so it doesn't look like a fired QB from the past. RTR!
Title: Re: Sark taking leave of absence Post by: carl childers on October 12, 2015, 08:04:02 AM He is going through a bitter divorce. Hearing he has problems with alcohol and prescription drugs. Not a good combo. Awful. Pray he can turn his life around.
