Mr. P Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I reckon he's still got tread on the tires. I hope he gets a shot to end his career on better terms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSFball07 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think if he could do it over again he would have settled before he suing for Wrongful Termination. I mean he lost like 5 different appeals and I'm pretty sure Troup offered more than 200k in the beginning. So he has wasted two years and essentially lost money. Not much of a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us your facts to back that up. Troup stabbed in the back the best thing that ever happened to that pathetic excuse of a program. You may be right that in the end money was lost, but what was gained you can’t put a price tag on. This is Troups MO, they just picked the wrong person to try and bully this time. Make sure you’re not getting your facts from a school board that has its head in the sand and should be ashamed for what they put that place through. I can assure you Troup and all the buffoons involved were about to get their kicked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSFball07 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I can't prove anything and I'm not trying to. I'm not on anybody's side . Just making observations. It has been reported that he has lost multiple appeals. Why do you think he settled before another appeal at the federal level? My point is that I'm sure there was a settlement offer at the beginning and I would be willing to bet it was for more than 200k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a slap in the face by an arrogant group of people that believed the lies they were being fed despite a mountain of evidence to show otherwise. Despite an appeal or 2 lost the man never stopped fighting because he knew the truth and that should tell you all you need to know. He would’ve done the same thing for Troup had they not stuck a knife in his back. This thing has been over for a little while and you haven’t heard a word from Troup because they know they got kicked in the balls. If Dennis had lost they’d have been shouting from the rooftops. Your school board is a joke, just know that Edited February 20, 2018 by JAKEBRAKE Left out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKEBRAKE Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 And yes, the man is my father in law, and I’ll be damned if I let an idiotic kangaroo court judge him when you’ve all been grossly misled.

BigRedFan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Troup loss would be another school gain. Politics invade a small school where a certain group thinks that they are God and knows everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAKEBRAKE Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Big red, this is long overdue, but I want you to know that I have the utmost respect for you. We’ve had some wars over the years and you always took it like a champ. You took it as well as you dished it out. I’d rather have you on my side than 3/4 of these daddy ball playing, jv snowflakes that are on here now. You’re a true supporter of what you believe in and the town you support. And my apologies for it taking me this long to tell you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjalexander Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm no legal expert, but I don't think you settle if you're in the right. The sad thing is that he wasn't the only coach to lose his job behind the accusation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, you may be right, you could probably throw out some more adjectives as well and it wouldn’t hurt my feelings. I’ll take it as a compliment though.
