Don't pay Schiano a penny. Make him sue......

[JonGrudensAgent]

Any legal fees incurred should come out of Currie and Davenport's paychecks.

This mess is entirely upon them.

 

[secking]

To hell with Schiano and him trying to hold UT hostage. Do NOT pay him ****. He supposedly signed a memorandum. Not a final contract. Parties have the ability to opt out obviously and that's what our fan base forced this incompetent administration to do.

If Schiano wants to try to squeeze blood out of a turnip make him try. Let him sue. If he wants to take it to that low life level. Let him. That'll just further prove we don't want his shyster ass in Knoxville.

Now, go hire a real coach who has had success in the South with recruiting, winning, culture, etc.

Sumlin, Kiffin, Petrino, Mike Leach (the only one not truly having coached in this region, but a FANTASTIC coach who literally fits in anywhere because he's so unique).

Plus a Mike Leach hire would piss off ESPN and I'm literally all in on pissing off ESPN......

Wait, you don’t want Schiano because he might of knew of a person who hurt kids but you DO want a guy want a coach who was fired FOR hurting a kid?

:blink:

This, is what we call hypocritical.

I would expect there to be some sort of ethics section in the MOU. If GS failed to disclose the released testimony, then UT may be able to argue that he failed to properly notify them of potentially damaging information. GS no doubt knew of the existence of the released testimony and it is possible, though unlikely, that Currie did not.

If Currie and UT didn’t know that was released a Year ago (and was on ESPN for days and days) and didn’t vet him then UT admin is the worst in the country. No way they didn’t know. According to Pat Forde, UT is negotiating a buyout, don’t think anywhere near the 20 million. Why the heck is the new coach getting a 20 million buyout?

How would “all parties” have signed? Beverley and Dipietro fly up there also? Bet they had two signatures and were shopping for an orange tie when IT WENT DOWN!

Well, there’s lots of lawyers, probably should brush up on contract law...

“The purpose of an MOA is to have a written understanding of the agreement between parties. The MOA can also be a legal document that is binding and hold the parties responsible to their commitment or just a partnership agreement.Oct 30, 2015

A 'Memorandum of Understanding' is also known as an 'MOU'. MOUs are generally used to document a relationship of goodwill between the parties to the MOU. MOUs are generally not legally binding (however note that a MOU may be legally binding if it satisfies all of the six elements of a Contract).Apr 4, 2012

“The requisite elements that must be established to demonstrate the formation of a legally binding contract are (1) offer; (2) acceptance; (3) consideration; (4) mutuality of obligation; (5) competency and capacity; and, in certain circumstances, (6) a written instrument.”

Or try reading this from Marquette law...

How are you using this to support your argument?

That aside, I don't think legally binding documents are the only factor in whether or not he should get compensation.

Your post is what “we call” MISINFORMED. Adam James wasn’t “hurt”. He was told to sit in a dark equipment shed because Leach was feeling pithy about concussion protocol. His response was wrong but saying the kid was “hurt” is stupid!

 

[IPleadInsanity]

Maybe Schiano backed out and he owes us money. Nothing being said is confirmed. People just throwing it on the wall.

Somewhat related to discussion:

Per Football Scoop - Rutgers HC Chris Ash coached the first two seasons on a signed Memorandum of Agreement while NCAA sanctions were hovering over the program, so this represents his first official contract.

Technically, Schiano hasn't really done anything wrong - to be honest, I don't get this point. Maybe Tennessee should be looking at the people that made the decision instead of a third party.

Why and either/or? Why not all of the scum involved? "Schiano hasn't really done anything wrong", I hope you're not talking about his failing to report child molestation- he knew, or should have known, was going on around him. If that is what you're talking about, you're sick.:hi:

 

[UT_Tix79]

Rumors that Davenport had not signed, if not, that’s huge. It’s only binding if all parties had signed off.
