Former Texas HC, now assaulter, fired

[cyfanatic]

We don’t. We just know he’s innocent. Innocent until proven guilty. So what was he fired for? We don’t know that he did anything wrong at all, correct?

Correct...in the court of law...but he wasn't fired by a prosecuter and a judge.

Are you purposely this big of a moron?

The police report was pretty damning

 

[isufbcurt]

By the laws of this land he is innocent.

Is OJ innocent?

 

[CoachHines3]

Is OJ innocent?

according to the law, he is

By the laws of this land he is innocent.

Larry Eustachy was not found guilty either....

 

[isufbcurt]

according to the law, he is

According to the law he is Not Guilty which is different than being innocent

 

[isufbcurt]

Larry Eustachy was not found guilty either....

Hell he wasn't even accused of a crime

Hell he wasn't even accused of a crime

My point. Beard's and Larry's behavior and representation of their universities was the issue.

He should sue Texas.

 

[SCNCY]

Texas is an at-will state. As long as UT didn't fire him for an illegal reason... race, religion, age, disability, pregnancy, or as retaliation for him lodging a complaint of some kind or being a whistleblower... they can fire him for any other reason or for no reason at all. At least that's how I understand it.

But he had a contract. I don't think at-will employment matters when a contract is involved.

That's not how his contract was worded. The initial charge is all that was required to terminate him. He can try to sue, but he will lose. What do you think Texas was doing that whole time between his initial suspension and the termination? The Longhorn legal team made 100% sure they were on solid footing before they pulled the trigger on firing him. And the possibility of the charges being dropped was absolutely one of the scenarios they considered before deciding to can him.

He won't sue. If he sues he gets deposed, has to testify, etc. about what actually happened that night, plus any other salacious details about his life that would go towards him being fired for cause. I can't imagine he wants to have to do that.
