USC AD Pat Haden sends drunk Sarkisian home, fires him

[maheo30]

Finebaum and crew were discussing Chip Kelly to USC just this morning.....

This can't be right. According to Volnation, Kelly's going to be their next coach.

He should be fired with cause. I wouldn't give him a cent for a buyout and force him to sue me if he wanted to fight it.

An "illness"....oh boy. If I showed up to work drunk I'd be fired, and so would anyone else.

You'd be ripe for a massive lawsuit I would think. They've obviously known he has a drinking problem and are just now deciding to do something about it. I'm sure Haden has consulted with their legal team before he took any action. Like I said, I don't necessarily agree with it but it's viewed as an illness and there are serious legal ramifications for terminating someone's employment because of an illness. I would think this is especially true in California...it's known as a nightmare for employers.

I would have fired his ass on sight.

If they were undefeated they would tolerate it.

He should fake a heart attack and ask for the year off with pay.

if I was to get a dui I would tell them I have a illness, maybe the judge will be on my side, u just can't be drunk or high on the job

Hope sark gets the help he needs.

As for usc, almost not surprising with the Hollywood culture they promote.

Calling Haden's head...
Check out this article from USA TODAY:

It's time for Pat Haden to go, too

... How does USC get consideration like they were dominant at some stretch ... that's some stretch.

Now players are saying he drank and passed out on the flight back from WSU in 2014 and some of the players took photos. The players must want him out if they're airing all of their dirty laundry, only a matter of time until those photos come out.

 

[GatorTAG]

Hmmm..... Everywhere Kiffy has gone has ended up like this. You can't help but think Bama's wheels are about to fall off.

 

[oxrageous]

If this guy has been showing up drunk for a long period of time then Haden definitely needs to get fired along with him. Both of them with cause.

It will be fun to listen to USC fans and media name off every big time coach they know as the next coach. I'm sure Saban, Urban, Gruden and Harbaugh are going to leave their current gigs for USC.

USC would be a step up from UF!

Gotta admit, that's kinda funny. It would be funnier if they drew penises on his head when he was out.

It would? Sometimes I wonder if you're a little too fond of the sauce yourself. Your posts often leave me scratching my head.

Yeah, UF is widely considered the 2nd or 3rd best job in college football...behind Texas and possibly Bama.
