Hah! He has five days to appeal, it ain't over. I'm eager to see how the ADA might play in to this given his admitted alcoholism.
He's gone. The AD wouldn't have recommended firing without making sure the administration would uphold it.
The ADA won't help him. He's fired on account of his behavior, not his alcoholism.
Had he kept his drinking problem under wraps -- at home or in his hotel room (more accurately, his RV) -- he'd still have his job.
But, Coach Eustachy fell victim to his own poor judgment. Even the ADA doesn't provide an out for that.
