Just because a case can be stated for cause, doesn't mean that it will be accepted as such.

I'd imagine that you'll have to add some dollars to the defense fund for wrongful termination.

Just because a claim for wrongful termination may not in the end be meritorious, in my experience that's never prevented a litigant from raising it.

Think of this this way, if you were being paid a million per year and were terminated for "cause" (and thus being offered zero on your guaranteed buyout) you can't convince me you'd walk away from that without a fight.

Just being the devil's notary on all this.

It's foolish to think otherwise.

You could be completely correct. I'm not a lawyer. I'm more focused on bringing the Holmes story to light.

Yep

The names have been changed to protect the winocent.

I think what we are seeing here is that Saunders actually ran the football program. First four years he was here 2011-2014 and we went 9-4 then downhill from there (record wise) with him no longer with the program.

I think that with the increase in pay Hud felt he had to do MORE to earn his pay, and started micromanaging to a greater extent.

Recruiting has tailed off dramatically since we stopped cheating (Saunders). Also, the loss of scholarships has made the problem worse. I actually think we have a good group of coaches. It looks like kids are just not interested in what HUD and staff are selling.
I still am not sure if anyone can do much better without cheating. We have very little to offer a high caliber D1 football athlete other than playing time. Until we get out of the Sun Belch and into the AAC or comparable league any coach will be fighting an uphill battle.

Loser mentality...app state has been in fbs for 3 years and had double digit wins in 2 of them, do they have something we don't? Besides a fan base and administration that doesn't think like losers? stAte, Georgia southern? Troy? WKU? Latech?

App St does it. Ark St does it. WKU did it.

I guess those programs were all cheating, right?
If the kids that these coaches are recruiting aren't buying what they're selling, who's fault is that?

Also, if you think we're a well coached football team, I have a time share I'd like to sell you.

Bustle took us from ashes and brought us back to a D1 football hud moved us further up .. However huds time has come and pass just like bustle its time to move on and hope the next coach can move the needle even further
