The world of social media keeps getting steeper and steeper to rest your feet on! Steve Sarkisian has been involved direly in training his team for the upcoming season but out of all the challenges that the sport throws at him, an online blackmail turning his life miserable was certainly not on his 2024 bingo card.

Steve Sarkisian, the head coach for the Texas Longhorns, was dealt really poor cards this year when he and his wife, Lorreal, filed for divorce. Loreal, who is a professional wardrobe stylist, released a joint statement with her former husband and said, “Our commitments to our respective careers made it difficult to prioritize time for each other and this step will provide us with the necessary time and space professionally while continuing to support each other personally.” Though they have agreed to be the best of friends to each other in this difficult time, this sudden new episode that has arisen will surely make matters worse for the former couple.

Steve Sarkisian accused of ‘cheating’ amid a wild-goose chase for the mystery SEC coach

The marriage between the Sarkisians didn’t last very long, seeing as they only tied the knot in 2020. The couple has claimed commitment to their careers as the major cause of their split, but as per this anonymous LSU fan, it might just be because the Longhorns’ coach was unfaithful to Loreal. At least, that’s what the fans believe as they continue to slander Sarkisian in a wild guess.

On August 10th, ‘Message Board Geniuses; shared screenshots of an anonymous LSU fan who shared several messages, speculating about an SEC coach who allegedly had intimate relations with one of the team’s players’ younger sister. It would’ve been difficult to guess who the coach could’ve been until this person dropped another clue by writing, “as a recruit would u play for a guy that’s messing with ur 18 yr old sister and he’s 50 plus” If the words are to be believed, then it would be easy to narrow it down to the SEC coaches who are 50 plus years of age. Lastly, the one final clue that narrowed it down even further was the fact that this user claimed that the leak would help LSU get all the recruits they wanted and thus, the coach has to be from a team that poses a threat to the Tigers.

As per the fans, the three coaches that made the cut are- Steve Sarkisian, Hugh Freeze, and Brent Venables. This has prompted the fans to pick Sarkisian as the right answer since he went through a divorce 2 months ago and thus, began the hailstorm upon his name by the football community.

Steve Sarkisian’s name gets dragged through the mud

The hunt has ended and now that the deer has been spotted; the warriors unleash their arrows. With no confirmed reports of whether it actually is Sarkisian, the users have made up their minds that it’s him and have begun to call him out openly.

This person instantly put two and two together and alleged that the divorce and the fact that LSU has lost recruits to Texas is the sole reason as to why he’s the right guess. He wrote, “Has to be sark since his wife filed for divorce & lsu has lost recruits to Texas not Oklahoma or auburn”

At this point, everyone’s convinced that it is Sark in reality with even this user saying, “It’s definitely sark”

Next, the divorce angle played yet another hand in confirming Sark’s illicit affair when this person commented, “Gotta be Sark, he’s a single man now.”

“Sark”, “Sark’s wife filed for divorce less than 2 months ago.”, etc., are just some of the many other comments that people are making online in an effort to secure their claims that Sark is indeed the culprit. Though these reports could be false, Sark’s reputation and his job as the HC for the Longhorns could be in jeopardy in the case that it actually turns out to be true.
