Former UW coach Steve Sarkisian sues USC for wrongful termination

Steve Sarkisian's attorneys say he is sober and ready to return to coaching.

According to his attorneys, former Washington coach Steve Sarkisian is sober and ready to return to coaching. But first, he has some unsettled business with USC.

Sarkisian on Monday filed a lawsuit against USC alleging he was wrongfully fired and that USC didn’t accommodate his disability.

In October, Sarkisian learned in an email from USC athletic director Pat Haden that he had been fired while on a flight to a facility that treats alcoholism.
