Escape Clause in Petersen Contract

Could this come into play? If Pete smells trouble he might want out and have a way out of his UW contract.
One paragraph in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by new UW coach Chris Petersen and athletic director Scott Woodward on Dec. 6 reads:
“In connection with making this offer, the University represents to you that there is no pending or threatened investigation by the NCAA or Pac-12 Conference of major violations alleged to have arisen out of the conduct of its Football Program, nor does it have knowledge or reasonable belief of conduct involving the Football Program that violation such legislation. We acknowledge that your acceptance of this offer is in reliance on this representation.”
That would seem to confirm the account of Mike Davis, who told The Seattle Times on Wednesday night that he had reported the alleged violations to the NCAA late last week. Davis was a Lynnwood High track and field coach who assisted recruit Andrew Basham.

I give that a ZERO chance of happening. Pete's here and going to stay here.

So mike Davis is the snitch?

Question is the motivation of Mike Davis Damone. Why the hell is he coming out with this?
-
So is Petersen headed to Texas?

I would. Tosh is a piece of shit and so is sark. I'm just glad he waited until sark was gone.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Question is the motivation of Mike Davis Damone. Why the hell is he coming out with this?

Petersen won't use that clause.
Stop worrying. -

Yeah, so I'm worried, I'm freaked the fuck out about this whole thing.
Why are you so confident that he won't explore this clause?

why would he? Have you seen the amount he is being paid? What's the upside in bailing over this?Joe Stephanson said:DoogieMcDoogerson said:I give that a ZERO chance of happening. Pete's here and going to stay here.

The over/under is Texas.

Boy we have some dumb fucks on this forum now. 0% chance Petersen LEAVES! Topics like this is why we rip on Doogman.

Texas is a place where you will ultimately be fired. It's not in the NW and is totally foreign to Coach Pete. Too far out of his comfort zone. Just not going to happen.

The Texas job. He would be paid more money and not have the NCAA snooping around with the potential of sanctions.MikeDamone said:

If the NCAA is consistent in anything, it's their inconsistency regarding investigations, sanctions, etc. This is gonna be a shit-show for months at least. After the PAC12/USC/UW perform their investigations, which will take who knows how fucking long (See PAC12's Leach player abuse claim investigation), the NCAA is going to perform their own investigation. Prior NCAA cases have shown this will most likely take several months. Then, they have to make a ruling, more time, and hand down punishments/sanctions. It's never a good situation when the NCAA comes sniffin' around your program, regardless of the circumstances. FML

True. There are few expectations in Montlake these days and now He has a built-in excuse should he fall short of that 8-4 threshold the first couple seasons. -
Texas didn't show Mack the door so they could hire a guy who last stood on the Boise State sideline. Sheesh...

First of all, Texas isn't hiring Chris Petersen. They are aiming for the stars here and are going to wave their $10 million until some homerun hire takes it. That's not going to be Pete.DoogieMcDoogerson said:Texas is a place where you will ultimately be fired. It's not in the NW and is totally foreign to Coach Pete. Too far out of his comfort zone.

But don't kid yourself, Mack Brown won 2 conference championships in 13 years before he got fired, and was Stoops' bitch for years. This isn't Alabama expectations. Texas is probably the cushiest job in the country when you consider the pay, facilities, recruiting base and mediocre expectations. Also living in Austin ain't too shabby.
Some pro or former pro coach is going to take their money. If not then it will be Briles or Sumlin or someone "who knows Texas". They're not coming after Chris Petersen. -
You think he has any chance of enforcing his no media thing in Texas? It's a lot easier to tell Kim to fuck off than the Longhorn Network. Quit worrying.Joe Stephanson said:

There's a lot of dooging going on in this thread, and it isn't coming from Joe Stephenson.

Peterson would have to prove that UW knew about this allegation prior to contract negotiations.TierbsHsotBoobs said:Petersen won't use that clause.

I'm not worried actually. Just thought I'd stir the pot.
I don't believe anything will happen to UW. If so, it'll be minor.
