USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian is taking an indefinite leave of absence to reportedly seek treatment while offensive coordinator Clay Helton takes over as the interim head coach. The move is seemingly tied to a previous episode from August, in which he spoke at Salute to Troy while inebriated.
Just as word that Sarkisian would be out on a temporary basis, reports have surfaced that he showed up to begin Notre Dame game prep in ‘no condition to work’, says FOX Sports reporter Bruce Feldman.
Am told by multiple sources Steve Sarkisian showed up in no condition to work today & #USC brass knows he needs serious help.
