The Elephant in the Room Part II

[The Whyte Boar]

The leverage is giving him money to go to his lake house with no obligations versus firing him, giving him the full buyout but requiring him to get a job to offset it. 

He can take $5MM-8MM free and clear for retirement, or he can get the $4.5MM per year from us for the next three minus whatever he gets as an offensive line coach somewhere far from his beloved lake house. 

We have already stopped buyouts on one coach who refused to get a paying job.  Granted we ended up having to settle with him and pay part of it, but only because some dumb ass lawyer forgot to copy/paste the buyout details from his UA contract to the one with the Razorback Foundation.  Surely to God they didn't make the same mistake with Pittman's new deal. 

Hey man, it's Arkansas. That "dumb ass lawyer" was head of the Razorback Foundation by the time they discovered the mistake.

I am not wishing ill on him but he needs to take the option to have the free time to work on his weight or that 3 years may be all he has left.

It has to be an ego thing, no way he has tastes that $5MM-$8MM won't cover.

if it really mattered he would have already cared enough to get ozempic he is just lazy af.

We don't know.  He might already be on Ozempic and would weigh 400 without it.

On the Tard board they are saying Operation Hip Replacement is a go and that it's Odom or maybe Lashlee.

Did you know that Jake Yuracheck works in the athletic department at SMU?  I did not know that.

[flash23]

I'm gonna be pretty bummed if it's Odom. The only saving grace is that maybe he'd keep on Petrino as OC.

This is good news. It's never the first 17 names mentioned. Never.

But to play the game anyway...nobody talking about Clark Lea but I figure he's gonna get some looks this off season.

Hiring Odom is one way to to ensure a great many of us will never be back.

nobville. ain't nothing happening until portatian speaks.

I didn't realize Pittman was only 62...damn he looks like he's 72. Time to retire and go sit in the boat. Bye

This shit has undoubtedly taken years off of his life.  If he goes home now, all is good snd he'll be more or less fondly remembered.

[vegashog]

his wife is probably tired of all the shit. you have money, go see the sites.

and no kids so a whole lot of money they should spend and fucking do shit before he gets diabetes or worse

She wants her buyout. She is tired of the shit though. Also heard they've bought a second lake place.

[obijuana]

I guess give me Lashlee. Someone young and not a decrepit old has been (or a "never was" in Pitt's case). 

[Piggielicious]

Odom is the easy, lazy hire so naturally that is what they will do, and if so, we will be doing this all over again in 5 years.

[SwahiliSteve]

I don't know any another old fuck.

Well I won't believe anything until I see Duckman's wife's tits

[Son of Spam]

I don't know any another old fuck.

I don't want another old MFer coming here to get paid and retire. We need a young, hungry guy that wants to show he can cut it.
