USC's Steve Sarkisian Forced 'Leave of Absence' ... 'He's Not Healthy'

USC football coach Steve Sarkisian has been ordered to take a "leave of absence" from the team after missing practice Sunday -- with the school's A.D. saying he's simply "not healthy."
USC's athletic director Pat Haden wouldn't get into specifics about what Sark's medical issues are at a news conference earlier today, but it seems pretty clear:


“I was over at basketball and got a call that coach Sarkisian wasn’t at practice. So, I just learned about this about 1 o’clock. I called Steve, talked to him. It was very clear to me that he is not healthy. I asked him to take an indefinite leave of absence.”
Back in August, Sarkisian apologized to Haden and the school after showing up to a USC event seemingly wasted -- and cussed while addressing the crowd. At the time, Sark said he would be seeking treatment.
