lol

 

[nsideirish]

The only source was "coachingsearch.com"

It spread like wildfire from there

 

[IrishLion]

LMAO.

Now I feel icky about the whole thing.

Ripping the dude, to getting excited about him as a DL coach and recruiter, to now feeling like we were duped.

If I was the father of one of the cheerleaders, I'd hunt you down and skull fuck you.

I have 3 girls, and calling them ugly is wrong brah.

Conversely, I think the Irish cheerleaders are prettier than in years past.

ok shut this down...BK probably said it aint happening

 

[ab2cmiller]

Brady Hoke must be in the same mold as Chris Clark. One minute verbally committing and the next minute decommitting. #headcase

 

[ThePiombino]

LAX, between this thread and the original BVG Gangsta thread, I think you need to take a lap LMFAO

 

[greyhammer90]

I was sort of waiting for that wet blanket. Didn't make sense financially, culturally, career-wise or really any other way. Oh well.

 

[Irish#1]

Another classic IE thread. Gets out of the gate quickly, hits 150mph and then slams into a wall. lol

 

[irish4ever]

Come on, it's not even April 1st! WTF?!? Brady Joke to ND?!? No freakin' way!

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

In which way was Weis' contract structured differently? I really don't get it.

Under the contract the coach agrees to provide services in exchange for compensation. When the coach gets fired the school breaches the contract. The contract may or may not include buyout provisions regarding what the coach is owed on the remainder if he is fired - or what the school is owed if the coach leaves.

If there is no stipulated buyout the school presumably owes the coach the remaining money on the contract if they fire him. In this case, the coach still gets paid his salary as damages for breach BUT the coach then has the duty to reduce his damages by taking efforts to find new employment. Another alternative, if there is no buyout in the original contract, is that the two parties can negotiate a termination of the contract. Then the fired coach gets paid some stipulated amount which generally has no strings attached (this appears to be the case with Weis).

Here it seems the parties ended on terms (either through the original contract or an agreed settlement of Hoke's claim for damages by UM's breach) where UM owes Hoke a salary which gets reduced by his outside earnings over the next two years.

That isn't what I was under the impression of, I was told/read that we paid out his entire remaining contract.
