Id like to get a better picture of what the settlement requires.
Pursuing means he has to seek work with the intention of employment.
Honestly on reading the contract paragraph it seems totally unenforceable. How do you prove he hasnt seeked gainful employment to offset his payout. To your point what we consider gainful may not meet his expectations
"Coach is required to to use his reasonable best efforts to mitigate the University's obligation to pay liquidated damages under this Section 3.1 by making reasonable and diligent efforts as soon as practicable following termination to obtain another comparable employment or paid services position. ... (including but not limited to) assistant or head football coach (college or pro); athlet dir."
Some fortunate organization, in-need-of-a-6-7-year-program-build, is going to pick up this coach, SOON !
You all are poking at something that does not and should not concern you at all. Let it go. Or would you rather have a lawsuit situation with UT ending up having to pay his entire salary for those years?
Why did Fulmer not have to seek comparable employment? Was that language not written into his buyout?
