Beer in a college football locker room? That has to be a new one?
"Steve Sarkisian said mix of alcohol, meds caused irresponsible behavior"
He said his behavior was a combination of combining alcohol and medication. He said it wasn't a lot of alcohol but that he "responded in a way that was not acceptable for me or the university." He did not reveal what kind of medication, but said the university was aware of it.
"The moral of the story is this: when you mix meds with alcohol, sometimes you say things or do things you regret," Sarkisian said.
He added: “The way I acted was irresponsible. There are things we’re going to work on for me, moving forward."
Sarkisian was asked if he had a drinking problem.
"No, I don't believe so," Sarkisian said. "But through Pat (Haden) and through the university I'm going to find that out. I'm going to go to treatment, I'm going to deal with it. In the meantime, I'm going to be the football coach here."
He also swore off alcohol for the rest of the season."
"Sure, without a doubt," he said. "I want to win a championship and I believe we have a championship quality team and that's what my focus is."
Several players spoke with the media after Sarkisian's comments, including senior QB Cody Kessler.
"We support him 100 percent," said Kessler, who added that Sarkisian met with the team and apologized. "He came to us as a man and looked us in the face and apologized."
