Yeah, its a common complaint. However, normally when we **ck something up, its to prevent a bigger SNAFU in the future.

Suck to walk away form a deal. Sucks more to get stuck in a bad deal. Making clients understand that is part fo the challenge a lot of times.

My buddy does corporate work for Fortune 500 companies. They just walked away from a deal worth 800 million, eating 3.5 million in legal fees, because the facts went bad.

Ultimately, eating the 3.5 million in legal fees is nothing compared to losing 50-100 million if the deal went through.

I figured you might chime in on my post :)

I was half heartedly kidding, I'm in real estate and my father-in-law was my attorney for several years.......I tend to get more deals done using other attorneys.

A member of the BOT whom I have a business relationship with stated the following. He never said the name Gruden, but did say the name Patterson in reference to the backup plan.

  • They said that the AD believes they have their man but there are still a few small obstacles.
  • No contract has been officially signed, however an MoU was written and agreed upon on 11/3, and was signed on 11/12 during a meeting in Asheville.
  • There are a few small issues that are currently being worked out. These issues have less to do with UT, and more to do with the coach in question.
  • The coach has certain expectations for his staff and if he can't meet them then the AD feels like he will back out. This seems to be a major concern.
  • BOT member said there is one issue regarding his contract but wouldn't go into detail and I didn't push. They made it seem like it's a recent development in the past 1-2 days.
  • I asked and they said they think 2 assistants are being kept by the new coach.
  • If anything falls through with this coach then the AD will pursue Patterson.
  • They said Currie met with Patterson face to face recently and "it was positive".

People, people!

Oh, for God's sake, like he would be flying commercial and hanging out in airport waiting areas during layovers so that he could come here to sign...

Even if there weren't a sautéed plane or a booster loaner available, someone would have chartered an aircraft. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Nothing wrong with The Wall in Nuremburg. We used to sit at 1 of the bars in the area and watch the "employees" go to work. They would even come over and join us for a beer.
