OMG what a dummy. Does he just plan on both losing the suit and never coaching again due to making himself a toxic hire?"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

Damn. There goes my 'prodigal son returning to the Y' plan..."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

BYU, when Anae bolts after they hire KWhit, could maybe pick him up on the cheap as the OC.Originally posted by Commando View Post"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

What the hell is he thinking? He could have gotten over this, picked up the pieces and got an OC job at a really good school. Not anymore, this shows terrible judgment even beyond the alcoholismOriginally posted by Commando View PostPart of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment

Pretty much every state generally prohibits firing someone with disabilities. It would be a fact specific exercise, of course, but maybe you think only California offers that sort of protection.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

Yup. Sark is now persona non grata in coaching circles. What school wants to hire a known alcoholic that is litigious and also hasnt even finished rehab?Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

I seriously wonder how many cases are out there where an employer was held liable for money damages because they fired someone due to their alcoholism. Chances are, there are few employee terminations due to alcoholism just for the hell of it. The alcoholism inevitably affects performance.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
I imagine he cited the bleacher report fan column because he has to prove that his alcoholism wasn't hurting his performance. He probably didn't cite the fact that he was embarrassing the University.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

Making alcoholics a protected class? That seems pretty screwed up to me. Do others states provide that protection?Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostComment

You need to slow down. The attorney isnt arguing that alcoholics are a "protected class" per se, but that alcoholism is a disability (which is a stupid argument because it isnt at issue, really) and that SC knew and had a responsibility to help him or work with him to get help. Those aren't the same thing. And yes, other states recognize alcoholism as a disability because the ADA (federal) recognizes it as a disability. That being said, as CMBF correctly alluded, if your disability affects your ability to do your job, that protection erodes quickly. And in the case of alcoholism, there are many rules in place that would allow an employer to fire the employee and it sounds like Sark broke those rules multiple times...drinking on the job, drinking affecting his performance, etc.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostFitter.

It's not whether it's a 'protected class'-- it's a matter of it being enveloped by the ADA, which was expanded in 08 iirc.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment
