I don't want to get into the controversy as, since there's no post about it yet, the mods don't want to dive in. I am posting because one interesting result of this is that Mike Leach's contract has now hit the public -- I don't think I've ever seen a big time coach's contract hit the web before. It's pretty interesting: a lot of his money is based on the other income (i.e. camps, endorsements, etc) where the University just guarantees that he'll make enough from it. It also is interesting where it lists what counts for cause and not for cause, and also the liquidated damages provision, expressly says that if he walks away he gets nothing, that if he interviews for other jobs he has to talk to the University first, and that if the University fires him what money he's entitled to ($400,000 for every remaining year on his contract.)
So again, not trying to engage a discussion about this controversy, just using it as an opportunity to link to a coaching contract which some people here might find interesting. The contract appears as an exhibit to the motion he filed, so apologies that I haven't broken that out as a separate document.
If this is better on the career board, someone can let me know.
