No wonder they didn't fire him 3 weeks ago. Al had all of his high-priced lawyers looking for a loop whole which would enable him to win the stand-off.I like Kiffin.. his players seemed to like him, he will find another gig.Great news for Kiffin. He can finally put this behind him and move on to a team with an owner that hasn't lost all touch with reality.
The resumes will be rolling in from all the up-and-coming coaches around the NFL.Fired him for insubordination and will receive no pay
I wonder if he'll be wearing a special sweat suit for this PC.An Al Davis press conference... I'm pretty sure he won't be taking many questions.
Would be interesting to see Kiffin head to St. Louis and run the offense there after Haslett gets bumped up to HCGreat news for Kiffin. He can finally put this behind him and move on to a team with an owner that hasn't lost all touch with reality.
Haslett was the DC. They have Al Saunders as their OC.Would be interesting to see Kiffin head to St. Louis and run the offense there after Haslett gets bumped up to HCGreat news for Kiffin.

No, but he will have on his bedazzled cheaters with matching granny chain.I wonder if he'll be wearing a special sweat suit for this PC.An Al Davis press conference... I'm pretty sure he won't be taking many questions.
This ought to be a good press conference. Davis has been trying to create "insubordination" as an excuse not to pay Kiffin his contractual $. Here comes a boatload of lies, exaggerations and who-knows-what-else.Fired him for insubordination and will receive no pay
No but Tom Cable will dressing Al in a special edition Silver/Black DependsI wonder if he'll be wearing a special sweat suit for this PC.An Al Davis press conference... I'm pretty sure he won't be taking many questions.
"I told Mr. Kiffin to run X Wide Z Slant Tango on the first play and he ran Y Zoom Roger Slash. He's clearly insubordinate"This ought to be a good press conference.

Not to mention the lawsuit from Kiffin for breach of contract and/or wrongful termination in order to get paid what his contract called for.The resumes will be rolling in from all the up-and-coming coaches around the NFL.Fired him for insubordination and will receive no pay
Davis must actually enjoy litigation.The "without pay" part seems like it might get a bit sticky.
Failure to Grovel.WHat insubordination what listed?
Kiffin should just screw with Al and should also sue him for emotional distress. Al hung him out to dry for the past few months so that had to take a toll on Kiffin's emotional state. That's what I would claim if I were him -- get back wages and emotional distress damages from Al for being such a pr!ck.Davis must actually enjoy litigation.The "without pay" part seems like it might get a bit sticky.
Hard to say since we don't know what Kiffin's contract says and what specific acts of insubordination he did to breach his contract. I'm sure that's why it took Al the past three weeks to fire him. He needed to come up with some "examples" of his insubordination before canning him. Who knows what constituted the insubordination -- should be an interesting press conference to get more specifics. IMO that decision to not pay Kiffin is just Al trying to negotiate an out of court settlement with Kiffin so that he doesn't have to pay out the entire contract.Wonder what Kiffin's chances are of winning the inevitable court battle over his pay?
Same as Shanahan's probably ...Wonder what Kiffin's chances are of winning the inevitable court battle over his pay?
He did the same thing to Shanny a couple decades ago and I don't think he's been paid yet...he's beyond a joke.Wonder what Kiffin's chances are of winning the inevitable court battle over his pay?
The funny thing is, Kiffin's contract is peanuts compared to what he paid Javon Walker. If anything, he should be suing Javon for insubordination...Hard to say since we don't know what Kiffin's contract says and what specific acts of insubordination he did to breach his contract.

Did Shanahan ever press this in court? I think Kiffin would stand a good chance of prevailing in a court of law.He did the same thing to Shanny a couple decades ago and I don't think he's been paid yet...he's beyond a joke.Wonder what Kiffin's chances are of winning the inevitable court battle over his pay?
Shanahan got screwed. Davis donated (a portion of) the disputed amount to charity and called it even. The NFL said "case closed".Same as Shanahan's probably ...Wonder what Kiffin's chances are of winning the inevitable court battle over his pay?
Walker already tried to give the money back and Davis talked him into keeping it...The funny thing is, Kiffin's contract is peanuts compared to what he paid Javon Walker.
