That's a pretty loser mentality if he thinks OU would pass him up because they're not willing to pay his buyout.

I defer to j rake on that, but OU has got to be a top 5 (at very least top 10) job right now. It seems unnecessary for them to hire any replacement who isn't currently having success at the P5 level.

Brown/Norvell/LittreLL were our Turner Kliemans. Minefield avoided.

Look at pretty much any major company and it’s the same deal. People hire people they know. Most companies are lucky to have more than one independent director on their board. It’s not some terrible thing if they’re qualified.

« on: December 12, 2018, 03:40:23 PM »Yes, true. But like I said, it seems very obvious to me what happened here, and I personally don’t mind him saying the opposite because it’s a polite lie, not a deceptive one. Kind of like, “yes I loved the meatloaf but I just realized I’m not hungry after that bite I took.”Well, yeah they're the same except one is regarding whether you liked meatloaf and the other is about why you gave away $3 million entrusted to you.
You’re missing my point. It’s not a trust issue because everyone knows what actually happened and GT knows everyone knows. It’s just being polite to say we didn’t can his ass.

Ok, look guys. I was a little shaken when Pete and Blackcats turned out to be wrong, but now you’re saying they full on got duped into thinking we were on the verge of hiring LittreLL over CK? I’m not gonna stand for that.

« on: December 12, 2018, 03:33:00 PM »Practically speaking though, he's in a position of trust. A big part of his job is asking people for money.
And to your second point, yes. If you're going to lie about something, the lie you tell should at least be rational. Under any circumstance where you're not subject to perjury, telling people you gifted $3 million of athletic department/donor funds is insane.
My thought is that if he hasn’t already privately told them, GT is just assuming any major donor can read between the lines to understand the $3 million was severance instead of a gift. I mean, the fact it is the exact same amount as the buyout is itself the equivalent of a wink while he says “Bill wasn’t fired.”
Of course it would have been smarter to avoid saying something obviously untrue, but I don’t think he can get in trouble for it since the AD doesn’t really have shareholders and does not receive taxpayer dollars.

And let’s be clear, CK was an unpopular hire, but that doesn’t mean it was a bad one. Just think of all the people who thought Steve Jobs was out of his mind until he made everyone rich. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with GT being completely unapologetic at this point for his decision. Obviously if it doesn’t pan out he will face the consequences though.

Gene is basically the head of a multi-million dollar business. And just like any other president/CEO in his position, no one GAF about credibility as long as he’s making everyone rich.
I think GT can pay the lip service to make it sound like he’s doing a good thing for Bill even though everyone knows he canned his ass. My only issue is that he needs to have an explanation about how the $3 million he spent benefits the university, not Snyder.

#1 is the strangest. It seems like borderline incompetence/breach of fiduciary duty to spend $3 million without any real justification. Had it been paid as part of a consulting agreement it could at least be justified.
The rest, yeah we all know what’s going on. GT wanted Snyder to leave but he wouldn’t. When it was clear they were at an impasse he basically fired Snyder but did it in a way you couldn’t really say he was actually fired. Everyone knows what actually happened now, but when looking back 20 years from now people will just assume it really was a voluntary decision.
