New Orleans Saints Hire Jim Chaney As Offensive Analyst

I don't know if this mitigates some of the buyout from Tennessee.

Yes, It should, unless he has a “no mitigation” clause in derogation of common law. The mitigation of damages is a default rule of law and despite misinformed belief, there is no requirement that mitigation of damages be expressed in a contract. It’s implied in law and an injured party has a duty to mitigate damage.

Good luck to him

Lol....most of the contracts have a mitigation clause in them. Question is, how little are the Saints paying to get him?

 

[give_him 6]

Does Chaney have kids attending UT?

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

So Drew Brees is coming back

 

[IndianaVol]

Good luck to Coach Chaney.
I hope he finds the focus and fire he was lacking the second time around here...unless it really was Pruitt smothering everything.

Well it doesn’t hurt to spell out agreed terms on what it means to “mitigate.” But I recall a big fuss on Gus’s contact because it was being reported that he did not have mitigation of damages clause in his contract. And I’m thinking, so what? He still has to mitigate his damages!

With that said, I know executive level employees will sometimes have a”no mitigation” clause where the parties expressly agree they don’t have to mitigate their damages. But that’s the exception, not the rule.

Somebody else gets it.

I always liked Chaney thought he had a great personality. Shook his hand during a vol walk back in 2011. Kinda sucked his last stop in Knoxville ended the way it did.

Ofcourse it was Pruitt!
No one can succeed with JG as their QB....Pruitt forced that crap on him.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

Good! Wish him well!

Your last phrase nailed it.

Not sure but he and his wife definitely wanted to retire in Knoxville. They fell in love with the place during his first stint which is why he stayed on when Dooley asked him to. Had Butch not had such a radically different offense (and had Butch asked him) he probably would have never left.

 

[Special Ed]

He's gonna need a bigger Belt.

 

[headhunter15]

Wish him the best. Always believed he was handicapped here by Pruitt and the QB situation.

They paying him 10 dollars a year ..Tenn responsible for 1.699,990 mil

 

[Fore]

Beignets here he comes.

 

[sjt18]

Wish him well. Obviously Chaney's value isn't lost on the Saints. Pruitt might have survived if he had given Chaney the keys to the O and stayed out of the way.

 

[Zues1]

Yeah the game has passed him by. Pruitt says hi.

Chaney is an very smart guy. If Pruitt had asked him to run a version of what Heupel runs... he would have done it. His early O's were the forerunners of what Heupel and others do.

Fulmer hired Pruitt IMO because he still didn't want to admit that he was rightly fired. He wanted to prove that his old school, 1990's philosophy of football still worked. In Pruitt he found a willing disciple. Pruitt also wanted to believe that championships could still be won with defense, safe ball control O, and "managing" the game.

Chaney relished the idea of coaching in K'ville again. He likes UT. He gave Pruitt what he asked for... because he's not the HC and does not determine style of play.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

This will pay for Steele.

 

[Hallie]

how much he making with Saints ???????
