quote:

USC head coach Steve Sarkisian said he will go to treatment after combining an undisclosed medication and alcohol Saturday, leading to an embarrassing appearance at a booster event where he appeared to be intoxicated, using expletives and attacking other Pac-12 schools.


quote:

"I’ve met with Pat at length, and there’s things we’re going to work on moving forward,” Sarkisian said.

Sarkisian was also slurring his words and told lewd jokes, according to at least one group.

“I took medication with alcohol, fortunately not a lot. I responded in a way that is not acceptable for me or the university,” Sarkisian said Tuesday.

They should have never gotten rid of Kiffin.

The joke in all of this is Pat Haden chose him because he thought Coach O wasn't polished enough to be a head coach at USC.

Does he have a history of being a drunk? Or is this an isolated incident?

For one, either way, if he's in the public eye it's unacceptable to act like this. However, if this is just an isolated incident I think making him enter treatment is excessive and reactionary.

How did Pete Carroll get all these clowns on the same page. Kiffin, Sark, O, etc.

"And by 'medication', I mean 'being a total lush with no self-control that can't handle his booze'."

He got drunk at a booster event with Washington as well and made comments about Cal after hiring away their staff. Dude is a chump. However, the bigger chump is Hayden. How the hell USC ended up with Kiffin and Sark is beyond me. I know they had sanctions and weren't getting Urban but they could've landed better coaches.

What a joke... I doubt he has a problem.. He just made a random mistake and USC is treating him like a puppet saying "No treatment" No job...... If he doesn't go for the right reasons he will get nothing out of it and either will the school..........

Again, it's like if they enter treatment, it's okay.
Are they sure he just didn't get wasted one night?

I read that it is not inpatient, just outpatient counseling
