Steve Sarkisian loses $30 Million wrongful termination lawsuit against USC

lmfao
USC argued that it tried to get help for Sark after an embarrassing booze-fueled rant at a Salute to Troy event in August 2015, but at the time Steve claimed he was NOT an alcoholic and attributed the behavior to a bad reaction from mixing Rx pills with beers.
USC had Sark sign a "last-chance agreement" requiring him to apologize for his behavior and attend weekly counseling sessions with substance abuse specialists. USC also warned Sark that any further incident that embarrassed the school would "constitute immediate termination for cause."
Sark signed the document, but USC says at the time he adamantly denied having a drinking problem.
Two months later, Sark had a drunken meltdown in the days after a loss to the University of Washington and was put on an indefinite leave on Oct 11. USC fired him on Oct. 12.

Dumb Sark
Should have said you had a drinking problem and then you're covered on the American with Disabilities Act. He would have won that 30 million. -

Sark should hook up with Erin Andrews for a tutorial on how to win a lawsuit.

The good news ... Sark has said he's clean and sober now and seems to be doing well in his new job as the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons.

One of my last debates on Softy’s page before he booted me was with people who thought Sark should be immune from petty criticism, specifically football related, since he had his own demons.
People thought Sark should only be applauded for seeking help and not torn down for something as silly as college football in-game decision making.
He’s still a horror of a human being and only other alcoholics or addicts like Grinolds still worship the guy for what he did here -
Most people show up to work drunk (multiple times) and have complete breakdowns in front of their co workers. It’s just something that happens.

It looks like Sark was blaming somebody else for his drinking and fuckups. You only get so many chances in the real world.

Quite honestly, it was a disappointment out there. The attorneys had a great week of practice but for whatever reason didn’t execute.
