Josh McDaniels Turns Down Colts
-
The legal documentation would not be an issue so much.. EVEN if he had signed a contract....he could get out of it. Ever hear of the 14th Amendment? It prohibits slavery. So even if he signed....he could not be physically forced to coach for the Colts. The Colts could hold him for damages....and they could prohibit him from coaching elsewhere during the tenure of that contract.....but they cannot force him to coach.
And we also have these things called "Releases".....so, if he had signed......and then changed his mind.....upon some due consideration either from him or from the Patriots...if He wanted to go back there as OC...the Pat's being a third party to the transaction.....an arrangement could have/would have been reached to let him out of the deal.
Now...IF the Colts really wanted to be Pricktards....they could just say to McD: you are under contract to coach with us.....either you coach with us or you coach nowhere. Despite the team being owned by the somewhat despicable Irsay.....even he would probably not go that route....because it would cause him a world of hurt likely with other people down the road.
Was there a contract? If so the Colts have legal ground for damages. Reason being is that the Colts could have pursued Gruden or others instead of McDaniels.
I know contracts that are not the end all because the law is ambiguous. The Colts attorneys can point to a preexisting case where the verdict rewarded the injured party (Colts) and McDaniels attorneys can bring a preexisting case where the verdict was for another party in McDaniels situation.
There is not only black and white. Lots of gray decided on who has the better attorney and what kind of judge is hearing the case. I lost a case over 2 words - "shall" and "may" where I was in the right. But, thats only according to this judge on that day. I paid a fairly well renown law firm to write the contract, but I had an idiot for an attorney too. Maybe they were all idiots.

Like Ohio, they are not too picky who they make judges here either.

I understand this is "the way NFL business is done" but it certainly doesn't appear anybody had signed anything.. not even exchanged emails.

You are likely just a bitter loser who had unwarranted and unreasonable expectations about the out come of a case. Blame everybody but yourself for your own fuyuckups.....when I have no doubt you were in the wrong.

The Judge knew that I was in the right and even tried to broker an amendable agreement prior to the trial. Which brings us right back to idiot attorneys who dont know what the F they are doing. Starting with the Law firm that drafted my contract. A Firm of 50+ attorneys plus support staff, but all you need is 1 attorney, a desk and a chair to screw it all up for you. Next, my attorney would make you look like Perry Mason. Thats how bad he is. Washburn law degree plus he was a Chemical engineer. Smaht like Fredo Corleone. Lastly, the judge who was/is also an attorney. A den of thieves once you enter. On this particular day and this particular judge 2 words were the difference in the out come. Tomorrow in a different court the ruling could be the opposite.
Bad plumbers, bad mechanics, bad doctors, bad garbage collectors and bad attorneys. The world is full of them.

Bad, dumb clients primarily.
Of course the judge tried to broker a settlement. It is what much of what judges do....they clear cases off their dockets. That does not mean he agreed that you were right. So much of what you say is based on so much ignorance of the system....that it is not even worth a reply to correct or to make you comprehend. .....unless you want to pay me for my time. Let me know if you want my address so you can send the check.

Clients that trust lawyers.
If the judge thought that I was in the wrong he would gone straight to trial. The judge was acting on my behalf you dolt. The case was going to be cleared off the docket that day regardless, so that has nothing to do with it. This was not your kangaroo court where people are lined up around the corner. You can have my answer now in regards to your counsel Brendan. Nothing is what youll receive from me.
From here on out Im only hiring the best. No more Jacklegs.

Jeez, but you are naive and ignorant. It is unethical for the judge to act on your behalf. He was trying to assist both sides to reach a settlement I suspect.
The case was going to be cleared off the docket that day regardless, so that has nothing to do with it.
So...what happened? Did it go to trial? The judge tried to broker a settlement...and you refused to settle? And this judge that was working on "your behalf (he wasn't) ruled against you? You should have taken the settlement idjit. The judge was probably trying help you save some face.
This was not your kangaroo court where people are lined up around the corner. You can have my answer now in regards to your counsel Brendan. Nothing is what youll receive from me.
I have no doubt that you are likely a typical deadbeat client.
From here on out Im only hiring the best. No more Jacklegs.
I don't care how good you think a lawyer is....or how much you pay him. If he has a loser of a case and a loser of a client....there is no money or skill that can overcome that.

Like I said earlier, they dont care who they make a judge in Ohio.
