Tuscaloosa, Ala. • Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian has undergone a procedure to correct a congenital cardiovascular anomaly.
The university said in a statement Tuesday that the anomaly was uncovered in an annual executive physical last week. Sarkisian had what the school described as a successful procedure Thursday, July 2 in Birmingham.
The former BYU quarterback and USC and Washington head coach is recuperating at home in Tuscaloosa and is expected to make a full recovery.
Sarkisian returned to Alabama last season after two years in the same role for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.
