Texas HC Steve Sarkisian opens up about his sobriety journey | Joel Klatt Show

[@jeannine1991]

I was in attendance at the USC booster event when Sark gave his drunken, profanity laced speech in front of 1,000 Trojans, many with kids. I am happy that he has found sobriety and wish him the best.

[@Shaunskee]

I wish him only the best also. As a long BYU fan that struggles with alcoholism he gives me strength to see a light at the end of the tunnel for us struggling with addiction!!! Keep up the amazing work for not only on the gridiron but off the gridiron. Your story is going to help many from the past but for the future as well!!! I hope and pray only for the best Sarkisian!!!

[@WillE454]

Thank you for talking about this. A lot of people struggle with alcoholism and sobriety.

[@brycewilliams6542]

Not a Texas fan, but I’m a huge fan of someone who can overcome addiction. Good for you Sark!

[@Paris_wildcat]

Love Sark and his willingness to share like this. I hope the players appreciate that they have this influence in their lives.

[@PlantNativeTrees]

Great talk and good for coach Sark! this is coming from an Oklahoma fan too :) Thanks for sharing.

[@robderienzo173]

Love Sark - he should be so proud!

[@PrickFlair]

Proud of Sark, both of my parents are alcoholics and I can relate to this deeply. This makes me want to stay sober for the rest of my life.

[@thetruth1816]

Everyone has reasons to get sober .. my reason was my then 2 year old son crying and calling me an awful dad that day i promised him i would never drink again.. most i do now is get high on caffeine ( bad habit i know).....

[@chasewade6482]

Not a fan of the longhorns or of Sark. And I can respect that. Sobriety isn’t easy, being vulnerable isn’t easy. Good on him for taking that approach.

[@hunterketchem8008]

I am a bama fan and hope this guy loses every game he plays against Alabama however I have mad respect for him for being open and honest with this team and staff!

[@mikevinton5049]

Joel continues to be a positive force and an excellent example for all men. From one friend of Bill W to another ….. well done!

[@LeslieBrowne-i7p]

Joel you are killing it. Keep up the excellent work. Please give my homie Gus the best. Look forward to week two. 💯👍

[@555dking]

I’m a recovering alcoholic and I can respect it. It’s hard to admit you have an issue but once you do, your life can begin ❤

[@jm12green31]

Getting sober is the easy part the hard part is staying that way and living...

[@DocNinini]

with God anything is possible

[@GKA11111]

Klatt you need more content. 1 interview or 1 30 video a week doesn’t cut it. 2 VIDEOS PER WEEK SOMETIMES 3 at MINIMUM! NOW

Joel, as a Marine veteran, I want to let you know, there's no such thing as a "prior Marine." Once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi!

[@johnwhite2576]

Umm, this story is hardly complete . Sark spent a year with his lawyers chasing uSc for wrongful dismissal..he stopped being in denial when he had no other option and no other way to make a living. You draw your own conclusions.not hatin, just sayin..

[@WillE454]

Regardless of the circumstances, hats off to him for staying sober.

[@PrickFlair]

Always the negative mf in the comments, y’all are insufferable.

[@jbrock8596]

sounds like hatin

[@asecmimosas4536]

Of course he did. You would too. He lost his livelihood, his everything, of course he's going to try to fight to get it back. He has a family too and a life and bills to pay. It all went away shortly after he got a new job.

[@DFW817]

So, because you’re miserable in your life you want to come on here, project it and hope that you make others miserable? Weird, you’re on a video about Sark being a human and sharing on a platform about his past demons. Holding himself accountable, explaining how he now uses it to lead men into being great men in life and you’re wanting to hate on that with something irrelevant? You can always spot when people are broke, haters and have never tasted success. I’ve made millions and I still humble myself and act like I’m broke. But I know what adversity it takes to get that level of success and can respect it when I hear others explain it. Get that insecurity out of your life.
