I have no insight on the situation. But to me this delay doesn’t feel as much as about a buyout as it does about who will pay what.

It’s a cat and mouse game. Gattis is owed money right? Right. Let’s say his contract is 100% guaranteed, this means if Miami fires him he would collect full payment… but if he were to get hired, Miami would pay the difference.

Realistically this has to be the ONLY issue. I don’t think it’s a matter of not having it, but more not wanting to pay an employee who was ****** at his job if they don’t have to.


Might be a couple of other options and angles here...
 
So... What's the next imaginary deadline for firing Gattis? Valentine's Day? Maybe St Patty's Day?

Somewhat ironic considering the reason that Hardbaugh is apparently in trouble is the lying/cover-up rather than just admitting the minor infractions Michigan committed.


Coverups can be infectious...

I think Poggi was smart to GTFO of Ann Arbor...

What exactly do you tell the hundreds of recruits you’re looking to make an early impression on this weekend, when your “OC” is not there and “gone”.

Mario has some strange ways of handling things.


Mario is not handling this. Anything contractual is Dan's territory.

I’ve ripped on him for how this has been handled but there’s a very legit reason for this dragging out like it has.

I know nothing of fact with his contract, but I would bet a four pack of overhyped and overpriced hazy IPAs that the offset clause language was not tightly worded and there is an issue whether he needs to have a job at the time he is fired, within 6 months, etc and/or what constitutes a same or similar job (eg is a WR coach the same or similar to an OC who also is WR coach).

As annoying as Mario can be, sounds like this is more of a legal thing and probably somewhat out of his hands.

I'll be curious to find out what the holdup was. Hopefully they can end up firing this clown for cause for not performing his duties.... although I'm assuming they told him not to.
