Ex-Trojans head coach Steve Sarkisian filed a wrongful termination suit against USC after he was fired in 2015. During his USC tenure, Sarkisian had issues with alcohol both on and off the gridiron. Because alcoholism is categorized as a disability, Sark sued USC as the school did not offer him the opportunity to seek treatment or rehab.
An arbitrator ruled in favor of the University of Southern California, saying Steve Sarkisian concealed his condition from the school. https://t.co/XO4XSw2u1Q

Since Sark and USC split, Clay Helton has brought USC a PAC-12 title and births to two major bowl games, as well as one of the greatest Rose Bowl victories of all time.
