What might be even more of a concern is the fact that he's suing USC for firing him when it's his own fault he got fired. Spare me the disability legal argument. Sark cocked it up. He should man up and move on.

I don't know the details, obviously, but I could see Sark making an argument that he and Haden agreed that he would get treatment, he went off for treatment, and then was fired while in treatment - without any new incident. And that is why he is claiming that he was fired due to disability.

Now - he could've/should've been fired maybe after the booster event. Or after the booster event and USC discovering from players that him drinking in the locker room or before/during games, etc., was not all that unusual. And the reality is that maybe USC did a little more investigating once Sark was off in treatment and decided that he had been drinking on the job enough that he had crossed the line.

But it wouldn't be a stretch for him to say that when he left to go into treatment, they had an understanding that he would return to work after rehab. And nothing changed after that agreement was made to get him fired.

Doesn't change the reality that it would be shocking for BYU to hire a guy who still should be in rehab as their OC.

Personally I think BYU assisting in the reclamation of Sark would be a great thing. I say hire him.

I think most on here would agree with you and probably TH as well. But does he have the juice to sell that the the University Pres and probably the BOT? I seriously doubt it.

Let's announce this thing already.

I think he has plenty of that

You make some good points. If it indeed went down something like that, then that would be a different situation and not so smarmy / money-grubbin' / vindictive.

Otherwise, I share Shaka's view -- if Sark really has turned a corner and is genuinely trying to turn his life around then I'd love for BYU to take a chance on him and help him get his life turned around and re-established. That'd be a win-win. I'm not an expert in rehab and don't know if it's too soon in the process, though.

i do not care about sark, his drug or alcohol habits, his marriage, his poor legal judgment, his religion, etc., at all. i do care that sark can recruit and probably coach an offense.

I would be curious about how well Sark can recruit without a bagman or the USC logo helping him out.

What you care about, Sark's ability to recruit and coach an offense, is probably the last thing that the BYU president and Board of Trustees care about.

Reality crashing down!

And that is the bagman question. There were plenty of open concerns with how he was landing some of the players, especially after he brought in Tosh Lupoi as an assistant.

We are in agreement on this. If he can benefit BYU and in the process be a balm of Gilead to Sark, the prodigal son should return home, but only if he meets the first two requirements for returning, his recruiting connections and ability to coach an offense.

if he gets away with it i don't care if he pays players to get them here
