Steve Sarkisian reportedly ‘showed up in no condition to work’
The change at the head of the USC Trojans football program reportedly was triggered Sunday when Steve Sarkisian showed up in “no condition to work.”
FOX college football reporter Bruce Feldman provided the information about Sark:
Am told by multiple sources Steve Sarkisian showed up in no condition to work today & #USC brass knows he needs serious help.

That corroborates what the LA Daily News’ Scott Wolf reported. He said that Sark was not sober Sunday.
As I said before, source tells me Sarkisian was not sober earlier today #USC

Athletic director Pat Haden spoke with the media and said Sark was “not healthy” and has been asked to take an indefinite leave of absence from the program. Offensive coordinator Clay Helton is taking over as head coach on an interim basis.
