A contract is merely a piece of paper.  I understand the legal needs for having one but here in the heartland I would hope that we hold one another to a higher standard.

  If Your word and a handshake are not good enough then I don't know how signing a piece of paper will help.

It helps when someone's word and handshake are not good enough. Hopefully with Bo and Tom, it will indeed be a formality.

In today's world nothing would surprise me (Atlanta coach; Rich Rodriguez, Lou Saban, others).  But in my heart I know Bo is good on his word.

I agree that no contract and lettting coach another team is formula for trouble.  Whats to stop LSu from stepping up and offering Pelini a shot at another championship why not stay?  A man can not have two masters and clearly Pelini has two presently.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some of you?  The first post quotes TO talking about finishing your job.  What do you think BO's doing?  Do you think he did it without Tom's consent?  He already said he'd ask for Tom's blessings before he coached LSU.  He doesn't have two masters, he is completing what he started before moving on to bigger and significantly better things.

Only if LSU was prepared to offer him the HC job would they even have a prayer to keep him.  If it's to stay on as DC no way he stay's.  That being said, BO is a man of integrity.  I don't think TO would've announced BO w/o a contract as HC if he felt BO would back out later.

I agree that this opens the door for problems but ONLY if the individuals involved are not men (or women) of integrity. The truth is that there is ALWAYS a loop hole for those who's word means nothing. This is only one of the reasons you hire, associate, or play for persons of quality.

Remember the signed/unsigned/faxed/unfaxed contract fiasco with Houston a couple years ago?  Ugh.

I'll take the TO way over the SP way any day!

Do you just like to throw crap into nearly every thread?  

The only correlation between the two events is that both are more similar then they are different.  That is, Bo having an unsigned contract is much more like Huston not returning a signed contract, then the two situations are different.

I think the key point in all of it is that the moron SP tried to hire that clown.  That is a fact that makes me more than content to still pound his worthless dead carcass.

You nailed the similarities of the two situations.  Good job!  Now keep going and tell us what's different about them.




OK, I'll help you out.  Pedey used the "unsigned contract" issue to bail out of a handshake agreement because he's a snake.  That was the SP way.

Bo has a handshake agreement that holds more water than any document SP ever signed.  That's the TO way.

SP tried to hire the Houston Cougars?   Wow, I must have missed that one.

I think someone's cornfusing trying to schedule a game with Houston, and the attempted hire of Arkansas' Houston a.k.a 'Busta' Nutt.  :wink:

And that ain't happening.

Bo is going nowhere. He's NU property now!!



GO BO!!

Trust in BO. :wink:

They are professionals-- Don't try this at home.

No NU contract probably makes the LSU bowl coaching experience more palatable.





GO BO!!
