    Thanks. I would bet that that language or similar language is all head coaches contracts.

    He is probably talking about me.

    It’s not that I “condone” it. I just don’t care.

    mistresses? i agree.

    but by rule (and state law) they can’t be students that work for him.

    oh yeah every coach has language at least similar to this.

    the school wants it as vague as possible to give them easier outs if needed.
    coaches want it as specifically worded as possible to make it harder to enforce.


    you rarely see the “for cause” firings though because unless it’s an absolute open and shut case, it goes to court.
    and that could cost more than the buyouts.
    ESPECIALLY if it’s a public case that gets ugly.

    You're probably right, but I can't say that for certain since he hasn't responded to my post.

    There is a distinct difference between “hitting on chicks” and using a position of authority to intimidate and coerce a much younger female for your romanic or sexual fantasies. There is not a major company in the USA that would not have fired him for his conduct.

    he didn’t get fired because his contract was less than 3 months old and was not a “slam dunk” for cause firing.

    Firing a guy 3 months into a contract, then losing a court battle (which we would have), then paying $15 mil to the guy you just fired would have been TERRIBLE for LSU.

    we would have struggled to hire someone the caliber of John L Smith after a debacle like that.

    Oh come on. You think I liked working out? It 100% was coercion. All jokes aside, 2 sides, 2 stories.

    Again, I am not defending his actions. I am just saying it’s silly that we act like we care. We all do it or have done it with whatever power we had.
