If you consider a corollary for losing to Georgia State in other businesses/industries, I believe you could make an argument that such a level of incompetence would justify firing the incompetent individual(s) for cause. If what we saw today continues through the season could we make an argument to fire Pruitt for cause and not pay a buyout?

Interested in any resident attorney opinions.

Dang I hope things turn around, and fast, but I’m not optimistic.

Genius. So who would take this job of you fire a man after 1-2 years? It takes time to fix a mess of this magnitude. If we see this level of play when he graduates his first class, I'm on board with change. But no way you pull the trigger on him at this point.

I hear what you’re saying, but then I ask myself what’s the worst imaginable performance that could happen at UT under any circumstance (death penalty, etc.) and losing to Ga St keeps coming to mind. Like how much worse could it be?

Yes, being bad at your job doesn’t qualify as “cause” at least generally speaking. While an employment contract can change that, the legal standard for “cause” terminations requires bad conduct, stealing from your employer, conviction of a crime, etc.

He lost to GA State in YEAR 2. Not YEAR 1

Over/under. Would you say that the buyout is over/under the loss of beer/hotdog sales for the rest of the season?

“Cause” doesn’t include on field results.

Losing to UAB as well. Or barely beating UTC. You got to pull the trigger if both those happen. Losing to BYU might start the bill rolling, then if the other two hit, bang.
