Official Jon Gruden Thread VI

No offense carter, because I have appreciated your info and stance from the get-go, but I have a question.

If I were a bazillionaire trying to keep things quiet, I dont think I would use a UT sponsored legal team to draft such an agreement. This may be why your people are out of sync.

I would go with someone I hold a little closer to heart given the amount of money I am ponying up. So the question is, Would it be possible to have a MOU in place, not sanctioned by UT, that would serve as a placeholder until an official UT represented form is completed when the appropriate time comes?

Im thinking business transaction vs. UTAD transaction at this point.

What do you say? Or am I full on 'tard?

And if I am a lawyer am I going to go spout off to my buddy that I know good and well will blab it on The biggest UT message board where he can be easily traced to me? Not if I like my job.

Not to mention that something like this is probably handled completely by the Senior partners of the firm No underlings would be privy. No offense Carter.

Thanks for the invites Coasty and Cut! Reciprocated.

great to make the connect

 

[orangesoda]

Why would they draft a secret document for a big time client then come out and call you to tell you about it (for the sake of argument - realize all of this is crazy)?

Thought same thing if and I mean if a mou exists..theynwould not use the regular..firm

 

[TNVolSoldier]

Can't. Stop. Watching!

Looks like carter's buddy missed a lot of law school to go around breaching client confidences like that.

I love you man....

Me too. Can I get you a beer?

Np. Waiting is tough but will be worth it.

Keep the faith Grudenites. IF we go down, we will all go down together. WHEN we rise back to the top though we can say we first believed.

They may use t he same firm but it would be the Senior Partners. They are not dumb enough to use regular channels and think it will stay quiet. Though it has gotten out anyway.

my general manager has 14 season tickets. 4 in the front row, 35 yardline behind the home bench, 4 on the second row directly behind them. Four on the 50 25 rows up on the away side and two on the 20 yardline front row upper deck and he couldn't give them away. He himself is refusing to go until dooley is gone. Such a sad state for our program to be in

Doesn't surprise me. Dooley hasn't instilled enough confidence in us that he is going to beat Kentucky.

When all is said and done IF there is an agreement to be reached with Gruden the base will be no more than 4.5-5m with the rest coming from incentives like bowl games, SECCG, and BCS bowls, etc...

Is it correct to assume that the files of the the UT legal team will become public record if Gruden is hired? If so, then a freedom of information request would undercover that UT had actually negotiated with Gruden prior to firing Dooley. So maybe a booster had one of his lawyers prepare a MOU that could be signed now and then replaced at a date after Dooley is fired.

Bill Battle? Doug Dickey?

Johnny, first of all. Was fired from here, and still loves UT. I'll go with Phil as well. Peyton is an absolute VFL.

As soon as I found out someone from the law firm was spreading info on a message board, that firm would be fired. Most attorneys are pretty risk averse, I don't think most would tolerate one of their own doing that.

That being said, I'm enjoying it.

Ok just got this text from a friend who is connected to boosters. Not that it is shocking news but here it goes.

"Dooley's done boys wrote the check today!
I can tell you this much the checks are wrote and the plane is flying they are wheeling and dealing as we speak"

I just hope they are headed to meet Gruden.

Agreed. Read back a few posts...

I have a real good source that just told me "The rollers on the casket has been removed and the lowering device triped on Coach Dooley" This is from someone connected direct to the program and everyone would know his name if I could tell you ....
