The Trojans’ coach has apologized for his behavior at his team’s preseason kickoff event Saturday night. According a report, Sarkisian dropped a couple F-bombs and was slurring his words before getting pulled off stage by athletic director Pat Haden and John McKay Jr., the son of former USC star John McKay.

Sarkisian released an official apology Sunday afternoon, along with a statement by Haden.
