Does it? Look, the guy realized what he had done once he filed for divorce. He even tried to have the effective date of his operative contract changed, which is shady behavior.

More shady than a woman sticking her hand out for money she wasn't owed or earn? I think not.

is “major part” of 2019 was clapping on the sidelines and having the wherewithal to not frick up what was working.

Burrow literally doesn't come here if not for coach O so you couldn't be any more wrong.

Mo Joeaux is a certified retard. You can either praise O for overseeing the great accumulation of talent that year or you can praise him for guiding the ship that year but what you cannot do is pretend like O's hand wasnt part of the calculus that great season.

That’s what I can’t wrap my head around.

10 years ago this board thought coach O was an idiot. In December 2019 everybody thought he was a great coach. Now we’re back to arguing his an idiot. You can’t have it both ways.

Sure. Who else has 2 WRs who were instantly top-7 in the NFL and a Heisman/#1 overall pick QB on their roster? Not to mention another 5-star WR who was drafted highly as our #3.

Your parameters are the issue for your question.

Some of us were consistent the entire time

That's kind of feel good 2019 mythology.

The primary reason he came here was Busch, who was an Aranda hire. Nothing to do with O.

You really think Burrow was going to pick Cinci over a program like LSU?

OK. Again, I agree that he didn't screw this up. Good for him.

Before 2019 I thought he was an effective recruiter. That was his reputation beforehand. I moreso credit 2019 to him for being able to accumulate great talent, but going through a season with no blemish is a feat in itself. How many times have we seen Cristobal choke late in the season just for the season to be for not? And not only was the schedule unblemished he was lighting all the competition up. It wasnt like 2010 when Auburn had to gut out a handful of close games.

Did you read the opinion???… of course it does… every contract signed in Louisiana by a married person their spouse is entitled to half in perpetuity… if I’m interpreting that right

It doesn’t make any sense that the buyout, which is conditional on his firing, was earned at the time of him signing the contract and not when he was firing If he wasn’t fired, then he wouldn’t have gotten that money. So how is it earned when he signed? If he just quit, he wouldn’t have gotten it.


What was she awarded by the divorce court of his future earnings?

Doofus, I'm the one who told you on page 1 of this thread to go read the ruling.

Cristobal is similar to O, but is much more consistent in his success.

Yes, he hasn't had the stars align for a 2019, but that just goes to show you how much of an outlier that is for O. It's not an argument FOR O.

Outliers happen. I understand people melting when I explained it was an outlier event in 2020. I have no idea how people don't recognize it as so in 2025 with all the hindsight bias.

By a narrow split decision and the dissent was more compelling than the confirmation. If your wife divorces you for Mr. abs then 3 years from now you lose your job and receive severance pay do you really want your wife coming around for a handout pretending the severance pay is part of retirement benefits? I think not.

Question was rhetorical… I was responding to your interpretation of the opinion not affecting other divorces people

I'm going to say that the odds of you interpreting something correctly are pretty low.

From the ruling:

quote:

The Binding Term Sheet and the long-form Employment Agreement contained a substantial pay raise, certainly as a reward for the winning of a national championship. That “income” is also certainly the pay or wages of the coach for the work he performs and would be separate property after the termination of the community.

O only had one great season, but boy he knocked it out of the park. Give him that credit and throw him to the wolves for the rest of years.
