I like to imagine that Haden and a team of lawyers are going through and documenting with a video camera where all Sark kept his secret booze a la Dwight Schrute workplace weapons

He's making himself even more toxic on the job market than he already is. He's basically unemployable.
Yep, and I said that in the thread about this on the Coaching Changes board.
This essentially torpedoes any semblance of a chance at a coaching career he had left. I thought he might be able to salvage his career by getting help and begging either an FCS or lower tier FBS HC job, or even a coordinator job at a decent P5 school, but this nixes that. No one will touch him after this because to me, this makes it seem as if he's unrepentant about his actions.

Sark just blackballed himself from ever coaching again.
Yep.

UW must once again be thanking its lucky stars that USC took him away.

Why is he even suing? Being litigious is not going to motivate other schools to take a shot on him.
I doubt he gives a frick with 30 million in the bank.

Was anyone going to hire him anyway?
Nope. Exactly why he is motivated to sue IMO. Under Cali law his case is probably strong as hell. Plus Haden emailed him firing him while he was on the plane flying to rehab. USC will pay him a nice little chunk of money.

Well the complaint included this info:
quote:
Sarkisian has completed “intensive” treatment, the complaint said, is sober and ready to return to coaching.
So they admit that he needed "intensive" treatment but that he should be paid at least 12.6 million dollars?
Also, I'm reading the complaint and I'm wondering who wrote this thing. Why would the judge need to know about Sarkisian playing football at El Camino Junior College?

I'd hazard a guess that the lawyer who wrote this isn't exactly a renowned legal expert seeing as how he did this:

One of the supporting points in Sark's lawsuit is that a Bleacher Report writer gave him A+ for his coaching job vs. ASU.

It's actually a very experienced lawyer. I guess they want to show what a great guy Sarkisian is to the judge (and possibly the sports world).
I'm torn about this one.
It's pretty clear that if what Sarkisian alleges is true, then USC failed to follow the procedures needed to fire him for cause. Thus he was fired without cause. This, in turn, means USC owes him 11,250,000 per the contract.
But then they allege that Sarkisian was fired because he was a drunk, that the firing was discrimination and retaliation, that they violated his privacy and exposed his medical records. I'm surprised they didn't say that USC was the power behind Hitler's rise in Germany.
Hell, they argue that any arbitration clauses are unconscionable for some reason. Of course, it's hard to be sure without seeing the clause(s) in question.
I have a feeling this will take awhile. USC will try to get it taken to arbitration because I'm betting there were arbitration clauses for both Sarkisian and Sark enterprises (his marketing company apparently). Then a year or two fighting about going to arbitration then nothing if it goes to arbitration or awhile longer if it actually goes to trial.
We might need a bunch of popcorn.

Did USC come out and say they were firing him because of his alcoholism? If not, can't they simply say they fired him because he didn't win enough games? Would be hard for a trial lawyer to disprove.

We spoke with Sark's attorney who tells us, "Alcoholism is a recognized disability under California law. So firing somebody because of that disability is against the law."
So since he is suing because of being terminated due to his disability, could he have also sued had he NOT been hired because of this same "disability"?

I'm no USC fan but if they lose this case I will be legitimately pissed.

quote:Not that I agree, but based on the law, it would suggest it's not personal conduct since it's a disability.
I'm sure there was a personal conduct clause in his contract to account for this.

Sarkisian believes USC broke the law by firing someone with disabilities.
So being a drunken idiot who has no self control qualified as a disability? It's a shame he is using this tactic. I hope he never gets another coaching job.

According to language on the official government website for the Americans with Disabilities Act, "An employer may be required to provide an accommodation to an alcoholic. However, an employer can discipline, discharge or deny employment to an alcoholic whose use of alcohol adversely affects job performance or conduct. An employer also may prohibit the use of alcohol in the workplace and can require that employees not be under the influence of alcohol."
