Jim Walden says Nebraska's getting a new head football coach
- Thread starter Red Zymurgist
- Start date
If he's fired, he gets it all. No question. I'm not suggesting NU 'steal' anything, merely that rather than fire him a negotiation would take place and a new agreement reached. It happens all the time in all businesses. Nothing underhanded about it in the least. He can say 'Nah, I'm good' and get fired. Great.
If two parties come to an agreement, it’s not stealing.
People are simply suggesting that people are complex and what motivates one person will not necessarily motivate another. It’s just as legitimate to think MR might retire, or come to some settlement, as it is to assume he would demand every nickel “coming to ‘em”.
Mike is the nicest coach in football. That makes him unique in and of itself.
Well, MR was stupid enough to not install his offense for 2 years, so maybe he will be dumb enough to leave in disgrace and without the money he is owed, could be.
Maybe it's me, but with the money he's made in his career thus far and his allegedly frugal lifestyle, he's more than likely set for life before any buyout or negotiation.
Personally, I'd rather sit down with an employer and negotiate a settlement fired. I've never been fired and would like to keep it that way. I'm guessing Riley would also like to save face in the coaching community and walk away with a modicum of dignity. He seems to me to be a very genuine person and most folks I've met like that wouldn't take what they didn't feel they didn't earn. I guess it's really down to that. What's important to him may not be the money, but his own self respect.
Yeah, there's no reason he couldn't "retire" and settle for less that the terms of his remaining agreement (or all of it really) but it seems like it's all good.

Fif NU finishes 4-1 or better, Walden will be wrong
Crab, don't bother. I'm sure he'll take a shot at Osborne, the women's volleyball team, the sellout streak, and academics soon enough.
I think he's generally to old for the women's volleyball team.
Riley should be fired, and the terms of his contract fulfilled. I don't see a negotiation... that already happened when the parties agreed to the contract.
Yep....
I guess it depends on how his contract was worded and written. None of us knows what's actually in his contract as far as that goes.
Cool. I stand corrected.
