Those statements aren’t meaningful admissions. Manning can prove those things. And he probably offered Manning a chance to make a statement in the release and Manning took him up on itAnd here's what Currie wrote in From the Quad:
Keep in mind that if there's going to be litigation over a for-cause termination, and statements made by Currie in his official capacity could be used as admissions but the University.
Parking in a handicap spot is illegal!
He wasn’t fired for cause. Not with that quote. No way.
They just put out a press release with a quote from Manning thanking the Wake Forest community for the opportunity to coach here. I’m gonna say there is zero chance this is true, regardless of the source.
Anybody saying that John Currie isn't a novice, doesn't know John Currie.
Manning wanted his full buyout or to continue as head coach. Just consider firing Manning for cause to be the next phase of negotiations of his buyout. Wake's current buyout offer is $0 but will increase substantially during further negotiations among lawyers or in the courts. This allows us to move on from Manning now and continue thr buyout negotiations.
Did we ever get the definitive word from RJ on the amount of the buyout?
