Jagodzinski firing is confirmed

[ContactBuzz]

They did honor it -- in the fact they paid him the full price of the contract.

And if Jags' contract has in it that he could not interview with NFL teams for 3 years, then BC is honoring his contract as well by firing him. He breached the contract, not BC, in that case.

But if he had sucked ass the first 2 years they'd be kicking him out the door with some sort of negotiated buy-out (likely less than the total amount of the remaining contract). It works both ways.

I got a chuckle when Bob Ryan the Boston Sports Columnist said that BC would always be a stepping stone program.

Bull****.

As soon as schools start honoring the contracts as binding, then you can pull that argument.

Other than your first two words, I'm not sure what you're saying. But I think if PJ left us after one or two years, you'd feel completely screwed. A lot goes into a program, it requires a long term commitment from parties.

?

Schools do honor the contracts. Coaches get paid for the full contract if the school lets them go.

Weren't you aware of that?

I think the BC Ad has bigger balls than most AD's and I actually completely understand him doing this.

Jags got a big fat contract for a new head coach two years into a job, he promised his AD at least 3. He is under contract. This isn't an employee / employer deal. How many employees on this board have a written contract? Ok then, shut the **** up.

The guy has a contract and he's basically saying it doesn't mean anything to him. If more schools did what BC did, you wouldn't see this merry go round of coaching in college football. Good for BC.

This is just another example of adults acting like children. Coaches interview all the time. Should we have threatened to fire PJ when he was talked about as the new HC of Auburn? BC should have been proud that he was successful enough to get an interview for the Jets.

How is this adults acting like children? BC and Jagz had a contract that they BOTH AGREED ON that said he couldn't interview for an NFL job in his first 3 years. He violated the contract, contract broken, no more job. How hard is that to understand?

Contact,

you are incorrect -- when a coach gets fired, unless it is in his contract that he can get fired for less money, he is fired and PAID the full amount. That is why the buyouts are so expensive for all of these coaches.

In this case they don't owe him anything if Jag broke the contract.

An employment contract can not have as one of its provisions a restriction on interviewing for another job. Its unenforceable.

No evidence that there was anything in the contract about staying 3 years or agreeing not to interview for jobs. Evidently they had a verbal understanding or so the AD thought. The real issue here is that Jagz didn't get permission and tried to hide the interview. The AD found out from the press.

I agree, BoR, they will not have to pay him anything, IF his contract did include the no interviewing with pro teams, like reported by the news. If it did not, then he will get a payout. Actually if it does include that, BC could probably fire him and also sue him for breach of contract -- but doubt they would do so, as it would be more difficult to recruit your next head coach then.

NC, I would bet there is language in the contract that he cannot interview without permission -- I imagine that is standard language in coaching contracts.
