re: Matt Canada leading Candidate for Maryland OC

To save money???

But according to you, we wouldn’t owe him a dime.

And you would let your client settle for half of what he owed?

Let? You provide advice based on what your client wants to do.

they could've fired him without giving him a dime, right?

Sure they could if they felt that he done something that would give them good cause. I don't understand why you spin this circles. It's fairly easy to understand.

-LSU wanted to fire him and did. He had 2 years left on contract.
-LSU negotiated the 2 year deal to a lump sump of half of what he was owed.
-The deal was good for both parties. Rather than fight it out involving attorneys. Both parties move on. Nobody would walk away from $1.7m if they knew that they were without a doubt 100% not a fault and fired for no good reason.

I didn't expect that you would be one of the ones that would be able to put it all together. I can save you the trouble...that's exactly what it means.

No it's not. For example: hypothetically, Canada could be fired for cause for bad mouthing lsu on the recruting trail, which some claimed he was doing. That has nothing to do with O meddling in the offense during Troy. Also, the players and coaching staff all said that the offense was altered by O before Troy. So I am not sure how you think this didn't happen.

Here's the thing though there was no just cause to fire Canada. Otherwise, LSU wouldn't be paying him to go away. Unless, LSU did something wrong as well. It's pretty simple. O meddled in the offense, Canada got pisssed and went over O's head to Alleva (hence the pow wow). O couldn't work with him from that day forward, and Canada couldn't handle O trying to interject in the offense. Therefore at the end of the season they cut a deal to part ways. Lsu saves some money, Canada gets out of a miserable situation with half his cash, and the ability to coach at another school.

I thought Saban would take him and put the Dick right into coach O, by beating him next year with his last oc.... lol

Link? Believe what you want, lil brother.

i will believe quotes from Orgeron and players both admitting O meddled.

quote:

---

Orgeron said Monday he asked Canada last week to reduce the number of pre-snap motions and shifts to make things easier the two true freshmen offensive line starters against Troy.

---

quote:

---

"That's one of the reasons I wanted to quit shift and motion, be more physical at the point of attack," Orgeron said.

The result: zero first-half points.

---

quote:

---

"We tried to resort back to some old, old playing styles we kind of did," LSU tight end Foster Moreau said Saturday about the first-half play. "Just play some smash mouth LSU football, which I know all of our teammates, we love to do that. That wasn't working. So we just sort of resorted back to the motions and the shifts, kind of got things going, got some momentum."

---

quote:

---

LSU reverted back to using frequent motions and shifts for the second half and scored three touchdowns. The Tigers could have scored more were it not for three turnovers among the four other possessions in the second half.

---

How are you even debating this? Are you that willfully ignorant that you think the players and head coach (the one meddling) made this up?

quote:

---

If you think it was a mutual parting of ways though then we are on the same page here.

Always been my claim

But weren't you just claiming that they fired him?

I don’t think so I’ve always said due to the fact Canada accepted half his buyout it must mean they both wanted out.

I do think there are probably circumstances not included in the verbiage of the contract that they could fire him though...or gray areas that would cause for both sides to agree on a settlement. Surely you don’t think contracts cover every possible reason that could allow an employer to legally fire an employee?
