Official Gattis Fired!!

[Ispyin]

And now people can figure out why I'm CAUTIOUS on Frost. I don't pretend to know everything, but I do know that you have to take past occurrences (or even "rumors" of occurrences) seriously. Nobody wants to be the person (or institution) that ignores all the red flags.

There is not a chance in **** that Scott Frost is getting this job after the gattis situation.
Mario is stubborn but isn’t that stupid

 

[Ispyin]

Well I mean yeah from that perspective it would have been even more of a home run than it was in the eye of the public originally

Hard to have a redemption story if most of the world doesn’t know that you needed to be redeemed and just think you won a Broyle award

 

[Ispyin]

I was a LXA and lived in the house at UM. It was still a lot of fun in the 2000s lol

Wait LXA knew how to have fun? Book reading’s?

So ur saying it’s possibly assault?

I'm not saying that. Could have been consensual, but I don't know details like:

---age
---alcohol/substances
---cover-up
---intimidation factors ("don't tell anyone")
---status afterwards (i.e., ghosting, stalking, promises, etc.)
---retaliation

I am not saying that any/all of those are true, I am just citing a wide variety of possible "policy violations" and/or "legal violations" that could arise, but that are not quite as serious as assault.

I was talking more of an "internal" redemption story, where an employer gives a person another chance to succeed in this cold cold world.

Obviously, didn't work out so well...

This thread has gone completely stupid.

 

[Ispyin]

Yep. Obviously, Gattis sold himself well during his interview.

And...NOW...people can figure out why I've been pounding the table for Alonzo. That guy made a career out of crisscrossing this great country, talking to college coaching staffs, and getting the lowdown on everything and everyone.

I wish to God that Alonzo had been hired a few months earlier. Because I can very well imagine a quiet conversation between Alonzo and Dan that would have involved the words "no ******* way".

Maybe but let’s not act like Mario and zo weren’t talking during those months. That seems a bit far to me to think zo didn’t know about the hiring and if he had something to say about gat‘tis wouldn’t have.

 

[Cribby]

Sorry to ask if you already answered, but why keep the guy for 2 months? Why not cut the guy loose asap. Its not like anyone liked him or he was a factor in recruiting. Thanks @Cribby

I’ve made things pretty obvious but people were obsessed with buyouts and “ why the f won’t Mario fire him”.

 

[Ispyin]

We got pics of any of these chicks?

My guess is they were 3 stars

Well you know what we’ve said for years recruiting wise - a Miami 3 star is a 5 star in Michigan

I'm not saying they didn't talk, but it wasn't about COACHING personnel decisions. Before Alonzo officially came aboard, he was only being asked about PLAYER personnel.

Now that Alonzo is officially officially on the payroll, those HR conversations can take place.

We can say what we will, but Mario and Alonzo and Dan are the types to follow HR rules.

The man has arrived. Put some respect on @Cribby 's name, y'all. He was right AND on-time with everything.

Satan does. All the time. ***** the past, if they can coach, we can deal with firing them. Just make sure the contract has that in it.

As always, Original.

Yes, the last few pages

 

[harphong]

yes, i dont recall the rule, but i do recall Graham opening the book he authored and reading the rule and a few comments, not taking any questions and then moving to the next rule, rinse and repeat

/good times

Took evidence with Graham in London on summer program. Absinthe later, I actually understood hearsay exemptions and pulled a bleary, pirate mode B+.... summer of 01. Remember plastic trashbagging all my clothes, a found skateboard, that book, and a bottle of moar real absinthe through heathrow before the 9/11 attacks and TSA....Great times! Loved Graham. Still have that godamned book in my master bedroom bookshelf.

 

[troyskiles]

You MF'ers know alot and this Southern MF'er appreciates it. Thank you all, for the insight. I am finally getting the picture on Gatass.

 

[Ispyin]

Yes, the last few pages

Wait so you think gattis was an alter boy?

 

[JamesQuall]

I am violently caucasian, so help your boy out here. K's? Sorority girls, I assume?

“Violently caucasian”

 

[GrozDozer]

Wait so you think gattis was an alter boy?

No but jumping from him ******* a co-ed to him raping a co-ed by invoking Jameis Winston case is kind of insane.
