USC head coach Steve Sarkisian publicly apologized for his inappropriate behavior at the school's Salute to Troy event Saturday night and suggested that a mixture of alcohol and medication were partly the cause for his actions.

Per ESPN:
quote:

"I took medication. I mixed it with alcohol," Sarkisian said. "[Not a lot], and I responded in a way that was not acceptable for me or the university."

Sarkisian slurred his words and used profanity as he addressed a crowd of an estimated 2,500 people, which included his players, the coaching staff, past players, fans and donors.
Sarkisian went on to say that he does not have a drinking problem but will go to treatment and will not drink alcohol for the remainder of the season.

In addition, alcohol has been banned from the coaches' locker room.

Do the coaches drink a lot in the locker room?

In treatment, Steve will learn that the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Say it with me Steve: "We admitted we were powerless over our addictions; that our lives had become unmanageable."

One would think that a grown man and head of a major football program would have the wherewithal to not take certain medications (benzos, opioids, muscle relaxers, etc) with alcohol. That's an even bigger f up to do that at a big function for players, alumni, and donors.

Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't suck a dick or 2 that night.
