Message: [QUOTE="GotNets?, post: 2617751, member: 8131"] — I love the ol’ “get some facts” talk. To that end, if there’s information to be shared regarding the violations/cause, then by all means, please share. All I’ve heard is summer training sessions, which frankly sounds less than pedestrian. I’m always willing to consider “the facts” when posting on an open message board though ... Until then, I’d posit that we both know [I]nothing ([/I]same as everyone else) and that the facts point to the school wanting to avoid paying him due to the underlying fiscal situation. This “cause” seems to be convenient for the administration in that respect, which is why I say he was screwed. He certainly bears much of the responsibility for the team’s success / lack thereof though. However, if I was a coach, I would be very suspect of an administration that would go to those lengths. Savage was the word someone used. In fact, I liked the earlier point that if he is successfully fired for cause then that must mean some sort of sanctions, which is terrible. If he’s able to win a lawsuit showing that his firing was egregious, then Herbst and DB would likely be in the crosshairs, although I’m not positive. Can someone elaborate on this point, please? I would have greatly preferred a negotiated buyout if he had to go. Getting litigious with your NC winning coach has to be a black eye for future search efforts is my point. If he’s not actually guilty, then the school looks bad, incompetent, or worse. [/QUOTE]
