Steve Sarkisian is out of treatment and he is already trying to get back into coaching.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Sark is expressing interest in becoming a quarterbacks coach or offensive coordinator for NFL teams. To that end, he’s said to be putting out feelers.

Sarkisian is aiming high for his return to coaching, but he might have to settle for less.
The 41-year-old ran himself out of USC with his alcoholism and alleged unprofessional behavior, which reportedly included showing up to work hung over and excessive drinking on team planes. He is currently in the middle of a lawsuit as he is suing USC for wrongful termination.
Sarkisian certainly has the coaching record that would qualify him for such a position in the NFL. He took over a poor Washington team and went 34-29 in four seasons there. He went 9-4 in his first season at USC and was 2-2 before being forced out this season.
