So, am I late to the party or what? Sark is suing USC for "discriminating" against his alcoholism, wants $30 million.

The weird thing is that I have to think your chances of getting hired by a major program after pulling this stunt are nil.

There aren't many coaches that are fired for cause like this. I mean, I can only remember Sark and Leach. Normally the schools just pay the buy out. And it's also not often that a coach gets fired for being drunk all the time.
I love CA, and I think alcoholism is a real disease and he needs real help. But this is a trashy move. I understand the rationale, I understand I shouldn't be surprised. But what a lame ass dude.
Should have sent him off the rehab and let him go over the winter. Instead they fire the guy while he is on a plane after telling him a totally different story. USC couldn't have handled it any worse if they tried.
wait until the end of the season? it would have been a disaster. would have finished 5-3 or something.
Fucking California.
We spoke with Sark's attorney, Alan Loewinsohn, who tells us, "Alcoholism is a recognized disability under California law. So firing somebody because of that disability is against the law."

BYU should hire Sark. Make him quit drinking and join the church, and they can play up that PR card for years to come. If he slips up again, just have his plan go down in the Pacific on a recruiting trip to the Somoan Islands.
True but if you are controlling a situation the right way then there isn't a chance that you come out looking this bad. This lawsuit is stupid but USC left the door open. Through all of this I still can't believe Haden still has a job.If that is, in fact, EXACTLY how it went down, then it's an awful way to handle it. But you don't know that. None of us do.
All church owned planes have the black box removed. Plausible deniability.Unless he drunk-pilots the plane like Denzel in Flight.
I think Brick's point is that's what happened with Helton anyway.Depends, how many times would he coach shitfaced? Seems like they did pretty well against ASU with him drunk on the sidelines.
