Just saw this, so weird.

 

[Trueblue25]

Wasn’t aware he’s an NM alum. Makes more sense.

He’s also their former head coach.

The right thing for him would have been to come to SU and cover for his protege. I'm only kidding, sorta.

 

[rrlbees]

I’d still like to know exactly why he came to Syracuse. The only possibility was to sell Arnett to Dino.

This is what makes sense to me.

Should have spent more time selling Dino to Arnett

Rock, you’re a bum!

I'd like to know if Arnett ever stepped foot in Syracuse.

That too.

I bet no. Probably easier to do what he did.

So he signed the agreement over Skype?

That young lady was basically in 2 movies--Caddyshack and Animal House. That's quitting while you're ahead.

There are quite a few different ways to sign an offer letter... There is this miraculous new machine called a scanner and incredible new software called Adobe

It's pretty hard to look a man in the eye, give him your word, and then screw him over. And then do the same to the 85 he leads , and the community that supports them. Arnett played us. 100%

And Docusign.

Holy crap. I have watched both of those movies a gazillion times and I never realized it was the same actress.

I don't think that's the case for a lot of these guys. I think a lot coaches, especially the relatively young ones, have the same mindset as professional athletes. "I gotta get mine as soon as I can, for as much as I can, because I can't be sure how long this ride is gonna last." I think a lot of older coaches, Rocky, may be able to remember when coaches weren't paid all that much, so a higher percentage prioritize the money a little less.

I think e-mail is available as well as fed ex.

Yep, it’s also common to receive a doc via email, print, sign it, scan, then email back.

 

[Newhouser]

I'm drawing a blank - in Animal House she was the Mayor's daughter?

Never realized that either. So which accent was authentic. I assume the Irish brogue was fake. It sounded pretty stilted. Sorry, mods. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

from CT so probably not
