Steven Bisig-US PRESSWIRE

Former USC running back LenDale White came out in full support of Steve Sarkisian after the head coach was accused of being a racist by former running back Anthony Brown on Thursday.

Brown quit the team and posted a message on Instagram saying he "couldn't play for a racist man." White, however, was steadfast in his defense of Sarkisian.

"Hell no. Not in my life have I ever experienced that with Sark," White told TMZ Sports.

White went on to say that he couldn't recall an incident or a complaint about the coach's behavior during his time with the Trojans. Sarkisian served as the quarterbacks coach for two of White's three seasons at USC (2003-05).
