USC asks head coach Steve Sarkisian to take leave of absence
ESPNOn Sunday, USC athletic director Pat Haden met with the media after practice.
"I was at a basketball event earlier today when I got a call to say Sarkisian was not at practice," Haden said. "I called Steve and he made it clear to me that he was not healthy, and I asked him to take an indefinite leave of absence. I think this is the right thing for our team.
"I've spoken to our team and our coaches -- they obviously had a great deal of concern for the health of Coach Sarkisian. It was also clear to me the support that Clay has from the team, and the staff. We've got a big task this week with the Notre Dame game, and Clay will do a great job getting our team ready. I don't have a lot of answers right now for you guys, as I first heard about this an hour and a half ago."
