Got it...Were they hoping the Memorandum of Understanding got signed today?


I am the wrong person to ask, as I have no inside information. However, I am very well acquainted with Employment Contracts (both drafting of same and working under same) and have some insight and practical experience in the coaching hire Employment Agreement arena.

On a different subject, in addition to the insight brought by bountyhunter (which is good information for the denizens of the Coaching Changes Board), there is one important thing I gleaned from Keith Carter's press release, to wit:

The press release was written with some very precise wording. Especially the passage concerning the conversations that had just taken place......next steps. If Kiffen was staying there are essentially no next steps in the process for the parties to undertake. This wording foreshadows that Ole Miss is aware that Kiffin will be leaving and has an agreement in place (albeit a verbal agreement at this point in time) that will be documented shortly with the Memorandum of Understanding.

Don’t be dumb, SMU has stupid money, who cares what their stadium looks like.

why would ole miss work on a deal to kill the money he owes in the buyout... pay the 4 million and move on. LSU gets out of paying the 4 million buyout and lane gets to finish the egg bowl.. nah they would have just had Joe judge do it...

the selection committee doesn't pick untll the next Sunday.. if he signs Saturday it would still affect voters . nothing in that would benefit ole miss into conceding the buyout to a rival

Stupid money should build a nice, new 60k seat stadium with all the amenities. There are high schools in Texas with better facilities than SMU.

How embarrassing. A reason I don't take that program seriously.

I’m not an attorney or an expert

But I agree with you

And this seems like common sense to me

LSU is not going to wait till after the playoffs

They negotiated for one more week
