Report: Coaches suspected Sarkisian was drunk during game

The situation with Steve Sarkisian and the USC football team was apparently much uglier than anyone realized prior to him being asked to take a leave of absence on Sunday.

According to a report from Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News, some USC assistant coaches suspected Sarkisian may have been drunk during his team’s 42-14 win over Arizona State on Sept. 26. One anonymous assistant said Sarkisian’s eyes “didn’t look right” and that the head coach had to be pulled away from a player huddle on the sideline.
