Am told by multiple sources Steve Sarkisian showed up in no condition to work today & #USC brass knows he needs serious help.
@ArashMarkazi
Haden called Sarkisian shortly after 1pm. "It was clear to me that he's not healthy and I asked him to take an indefinite leave of absence."
Haden is the USC athletic director.

Oof
Pretty sad. Not that I don't have a beer now and then.
People are pissed at Haden. His previous hire was Lane Kiffin who is one of football's longest running jokes and rode his father's (Monte Kiffin) name to the being the youngest head coach in NFL history (Raiders, last 20 games before Al Davis fired him and won an arbitration hearing that allowed him not to pay out the rest of Kiffin's contract), then the youngest head coach in NCAA div 1 football (Tennessee, who he ran out on in literally in the middle of the night after one season), then to USC who hired him because he was co-OC during the Pete Carroll era. Kiffin was actually good while coaching Carroll's last two recruiting classes (and while USC was under sanctions) but once USC got bowl eligible accomplished the ignominious achievement of coaching the first team since 1963 to start a season ranked #1 and finish it unranked (the team that did it in 1963 was also USC, lol). Kiffin's co-OC under Pete Carroll was none other than Steve "one more for the road (loss)" Sarkisian.
So yeah, Pat Haden doesn't appear to have many ideas and has run the Pete Carroll era into the ground.
He was hired to clean things up, iirc. And it seemed like he did, but how could he NOT know dude had a drinking problem when its that bad? They scrutinize the shit out of players but I guess coaches get a pass.
There was a coach that effed up in Arkansas too a while back. Don't think he even took the field.
Florida suspended their QB for the season.
So much for being back.
Matt Leinart would be an awesome fit as USC head coach!
