He didn’t clean out the office. He was in lock down. His wife would’ve done everything including correspondence with the lawyer. This technicality gives him a leg to stand on.
Probably. I doubt he’s doing this to claim unemployment benefits but a resignation would also make him ineligible for that.
They have no money to buy him out because they’ve spent the last few years spending money on capital projects that don’t produce revenue and the well has dried up.
You didn’t read the WVU letter. He came in and cleaned out his office. Talked with people in the athletics department.
If the case was somehow dismissed, maybe the offense doesn’t meet the criteria for termination for cause.
That would be an incredible turn of events if that were to occur. He blew a .21 bac with empties in the car.
Oh I agree. But didn’t his statement say the charges were dismissed? If that isn’t true it will come out in court obviously and he’d clearly be wasting his time and legal fees.
His new lawyer claimed they were "close" to being dropped. I have no idea how. Will believe it when I see it.
His formal arraignment is August 17th. So between July 3rd and now he claims charges were dropped? Well we will know soon enough. Get me his lawyer if all this turns out true. They still can fire him for cause though.
Here's what his lawyer said a couple days ago in a letter to WVU:
My point is that IF that happens (and yes, it would be a disgrace if it does - but that’s a different conversation entirely) - WVU might not then have the grounds for Fire for Cause unless his contract specifically says they could fire him for cause if he ever touches alcohol (maybe it does). If no charges - all they have on him officially is a situation where he fell off the wagon and sought help for it. The offensive slurs would be irrelevant to Fire for Cause as he already survived that.
Yup agreed. Although I'm sure WVU has a ton of dirt on him if it comes to that. Grab your popcorn
he'll get a payment to go away and I feel this fight is more about the payment he wants then returning to coach WV.
I like how the lawyer just refers to himself as "Bob" 😂
I wanted to mock him further, but checked out his profile and found a couple of impressive things. I like professionals who came up the "hard way." Other than his use of "myself," he seems good:
