According to reports, former University of Southern California football head coach Steve Sarkisian is suing the university for upward of $30 million for the manner in which he was fired.

Sarkisian's lawsuit and attorney reportedly claim USC broke the law by firing someone with a disability.

Sarkisian was relieved of his coaching duties in October after allegedly having a drunken meltdown at a team facility.

It's unclear as to what disability Sark might be referring to, but one can only hope the 41-year-old isn't going to use his alcoholism as grounds for the lawsuit.
