[King Webbsticles]

Ex-UT coach Charlie Baggett to receive $425,000, per agreement » GoVolsXtra

Paid 425K to leave and not sue the school.


Many people around here believed that he left on his own accord.

I'm OK with letting him go, but at least call it what it is instead of pretending.

The gifts just keep on coming.Why its only money.

That Dooley....he a shifty eyed one....Saban is mighty proud!

Baggett did not get along well with the other members of the staff and created some disharmony this past season. He rarely agreed with the other offensive coaches. It was best that he left.

Pretty sure it wasn't just Baggett. Notice how most of our coaching staff jumped ship at the first opportunity to get out of Knoxville.

How is it jumping ship if he's fired?

I don't think anyone is pretending, they sent a well respected coach who has had a great career packing and instead of rubbing his face in it, tried to do the classy thing.

Notice how there were valid reasons to back up pretty much all of those moves?

Wilcox was looking to get out of the SEC and back towards the left coast. Dooley pretty much told him to get on the bus or get out and head west. Sirmon was hitched to his side. That was a no brainer there. Russell to Washington State with Leach was another no brainer. He got to move back home and coach with his old coach.

Pretty standard language for a severance package. Gribble is infering UT is trying to hush Baggett. Piss poor reporting.

Reading comprehension is a neat tool.

That's the way I read it. I don't delve into the fine print of too many contracts but I imagine other contracts at major universities have similar language.

Sounds like he was pushed out the door and threatened litigation. UTAD paid an agreed severance to signal the peaceful parting of ways.

Maybe if any of those coaches actually enjoyed working under Dooley then it wouldn't have been such a no brainer. Or you know - if they hadn't seen the writing on the wall about their jobs being gone in likely 1-2 seasons.

im pretty sure he was talking about all the other coaches that bailed...for a student there you sure are in the dark about the football program.

I said this before and I will say it again most overrated assistant last year. Talent wise our WRs were great, but coaching wise awful.

I'd be curious to how you evaluate our offensive line and secondary coaching then - and even though we had a GA doing the job.. RB coaching..

Good for them. Can't stand the heat, get the he11 out tha' kitchen! We'll be better off without them in the long run. Bye Bye, now!
