This is spot on. Sarkisian was a drunk when he was in Seattle. He was a drunk and a pill popper when he got to USC for a second time. His drunken, drugged rant at Salute To Troy was the first time his private addiction became public. But like other addicts, it wasn't rock bottom and he wasn't forced to face consequences. Haden made excuses, let him off the hook, believed his lies....nobody lies as effectively as an alcoholic/addict. Sark continued to fall off the cart....didn't show up to work....disappeared.....broke the "agreement" that Haden had him sign after Salute. When every attempt was made to contact him, USC eventually had to terminate him by fax to his agent. And then the dipshit claims he's in rehab....texting....and stays for all of 3 weeks? And then of course he sued USC because we didn't help him enough. Facking piece of shit. He hasn't put in the work. He's not "cured". He's not hit rock bottom. And now he's in another high pressure job, away from his family and friends with an agro anal-retentive boss given to public humiliations. What a disaster. I had heard USC was looking to, or had, hired him a sober companion. It's quite a lucrative job out here. Wonder what they make in Tuscaloosa.....he's gonna need it.
I'm just glad O didn't go after him after Kiffen decided on FAU. Southern LA is not the environment for someone with his issues. Further more, I've been to Tuscaloserville, ain't nothing to do there. He just may turn back to booze for something to do.
Exactly. Which is why I said last week, that unless Saban was planning on crawling under the sheets with him every night, he's gonna drink again. Of course in Alabama, this could be considered an engagement so, perhaps future celebration may be in order.
Speaking of things that can lead you to drink, I'm watching the Boudin suckers in the New Orleans bowl. God Jennings sucks ass. How the hell did he ever come within 100 miles of the LSU campus???
