Titans are Suing USC

BS Alert :bsflag: ,The Titan Organization has no problem selling tickets here..never have...just try and get some when the general public is allowed to.....:bsflag:

 

I think whoever had the idea of hiring Kiffen b******ized their own alumni status.

 

it's a tort. There's a state law against torting contracts and Kiffin torted. Thus this happens.

Is anything much going to come out of this? No probably not.

IS this just some big behind the scene to sell tickets to angry vols fans? No....I'm sorry but if you think that you're either blinded by your "the world hates SoCal" glasses or something else.

If a contract with a business was breached in ways counter to what the contract said, there's often going to be some sort of lawsuit - there quite often is. And whenever there is a suit - really any kind of suit - it almost always reaches out for everyone/thing it can possibly hit in all directions; that's always how these work; it's always how a lawyer will present it.

The Titans aren't trying to force Pola back or anything either; they know he's gone and don't want him back.

I think the main possibilities coming from this are A) The Titans organization (as a business) wants monetary retribution for its contract (legal document) being broken in a way violating its stipulations

or B) (possibly more likely if it's ruled in their favor, though it might not necessarily need to be) this is done in attempt to set precedent so that in the future coaches from NFL teams can't be "poached" (as it's been put) in hires and that everyone has to go through the proper discussion and contact channels that the NFL and its respective teams have set up to speak to coaches, assistant coaches, etc about potential hirings away from the organization.

 

If you're so certain that the Titans will remain "mediocre", then why don't you jump your happy little azz over to a USC or Colts board and stop pretending to be a Titans fan here...?...:moon:

:moon:

 

Again my main points were all they're really wanting from this ideally is some financial action (make Kiffin or whoever pay, however you want to word it, with some financial penalty) and perhaps what they want more, to set precedent so that other NFL franchises wouldn't wind up dealing with any similar issues in the future.

This also isn't a contract with a buyout clause. It's not like colleges paying the previous schools the buyout; it can't just work that way (and honestly, it's not like USC would just agree "here, take some money" without having to give said money)

you know, if you're really just a USC fan and that's it, there are message boards for that.

 

I'm sorry can you at least learn how to spell your coach's name right?

K-I-F-F-I-N

 

too lazy to quote you but whoever that USC fan whos all butt hurt about them suing should just shut up! Screw you bud adams, yeah right. Go be a jags fan, i hear they need a few more!

 

1. Everybody and their opinion should be welcome as long as the rules are followed. Our organization isn't perfect. Every fan has just as much right to be critical as supportive. The comments suggesting persons with dissenting opinions leave the board are close-minded and juvenile.

2. The damage is done, Pola is gone, let's get over it.

3. This lawsuit is a distraction and will continue to be as long as the Titans pursue it. IMO, we should be focusing our PR efforts on supporting/promoting the new RB coach and stop this charade of "setting precedent" to discourage others from engaging in similar behavior in the future. This lawsuite is a Fisher/Adams ego thing.

4. Money is the only tangible outcome and the Titans can't even say yet how much we've been damaged. Also, you can't set a legal precedent for "courtesy calls". What if Kiffin had called, Fisher said no- you can't speak to Pola and then Kiffin did anyway? Does anybody really think an impartial court-room would agree that USC/Kiffin are legally prevented from making an offer anyway? Pola clearly violated his contract clause, USC/Kiffin aren't under contract with the Titans. The Titans chose to go after USC/Kiffin with a vague stretch because Fisher/Adams et al were slapped in the face by the "lack of courtesy". This lawsuit is ridiculous and it will be exposed and presented as such on a national level. There is nothing productive that will come of it for our organization. Drop it and let's focus on the upcoming season.
