[VolForLife83]

Former Missouri offensive coordinator Derek Dooley is suing the school over his contract

I hate it when I don't get paid $900,000 as agreed.

Maybe he should go on hunger strike. Seems to have success at getting things done there.

I don't get it - he was fired without cause, so it seems pretty clear Mizzou owes him the buyout. Why haven't they paid it?

You always end up paying...why end up looking like a jackass on the way there? Asking for an Arkansas friend.

Have SEC OC salaries trended up that much?

It seems wild to pay him that much when he had no OC experience

They realized it was Dooley

Should have realized it was Dooley before they signed him to that contract.

I hope DD loses his lawsuit.

There is so much money sloshing around college football now, especially the major conferences. The conference network contracts have a ton to do with that.

Remember when Monte Kiffin made $1m/year to be Lane's DC? That was unheard of at the time and was just 12 years ago. Plus Monte was a longtime NFL DC with a Super Bowl ring so he was in a position to command that kind of money, even though it was excessive. Today coaches who have repeatedly failed like Dooley can make that, and the good coordinators make double that or more.

Isn't Dooley an attorney too?

 

[BeardedVol]

That article is a bit light on the facts. I wonder what he is suing for, since he had a mitigation clause in his contract, is he claiming that they 'short-changed' him on the payments?

I hope DD loses his lawsuit.

I don’t, if they owe him they should pay

Why if he is contractually owed that money?

If I knew what coaches were going to make 30 years ago I would have taken a different avenue in my career path. Geez !

 

[vol94]

College sports have gotten out of hand. They were talking today on a sports radio show about how Saban hires so many fired head coaches as analysts. From what I understand, this takes away employment opportunities for a graduate asst.

Every university doesn’t have the resources to hire numerous analysts, former coaches with a ton of experience.
The amount of money spent is ridiculous, regardless of collected revenue.

 

[RiverVol]

The contact ought to be honored to the letter. Since I don't know the specifics and am not going to take the time to know them, I just hope the contract is enforced to the letter.

That's why we write and sign those long, painful, terrible legal pieces of crap.

 

[Delmar]

We should have sued Dooley for posing as a football coach.

Too bad we didn't launder jockstraps with Jimmy Sexton in the 80s.

Yes

What if you sucked at it and never got a gig past junior high?
