Apparently this was from an Eric Bossi tweet.

huh? I don’t get that website?
I think he’s pointing out the fact that there used to BE a www.coachbobbylutz.com. Now (obviously), that website is defunct.
it used to be a website for Lutz, but it has now been shut down and is now just used for ad space by the host site . That was his point.
Anybody know if he gets an AC position if we’ll owe him the full amount?
yup
so the only way we don’t owe him the full amount is if he gets a head coaching job?
Should Lutz obtain another coaching position, the amount owed by Charlotte could be lessened or eliminated depending on the base salary of his new position.

The Observer article is not specific on this.

I am no lawyer, but I believe you and the Observer are wrong. Read sec 13.3 and 13.4 (especially line 4)
http://www.wral.com/news/local/flash/5917087/
I think you are correct. I looked for the contract earlier and couldn’t find it. With an assistants salary at a BCS school and our payments he should make almost as much as Dalonte Hill.
If he takes an assistant job, he forfeits 13.3 which states he must make “reasonable efforts to secure compensation through employment as a head basketball coach other than at UNIVERSITY.” We would either owe him nothing or at worst owe him the difference.
Not sure about that. Sec 13.3 says he must make “reasonable efforts to secure”. Not he “must secure”. From what we’ve heard, he was a candidate for the ECU and Marshall jobs. It could be argued that he made a “reasonable effort”.
Section 13.4 does say pay as a “head coach”. I would think it would be the difference if he does get an assistants job. But it’s hard to tell because this section only mentions head coach.
ummm no, but I could see a lawsuit here
@ Marshall and ECU he was a finalist, so he’s got 2010 covered. Plus there are really no HC jobs left. I am sure he will apply for more next firing season in March to keep us on the hook, plus I think he still wants a HC job in the south.
Look at Sidney Lowe’s deal at State:
http://www.wral.com/news/local/flash/5917085/
page 9 sec B, simply says “new employment” and “difference of salary at new job” and NCSU did a better job of CYA.
Looks to me like someone made a 935k boo boo 
Or, Lutz + Agent +Lawyer made sure it was worded that way…

If they agreed to that per Bobby’s lawyers then they are retarded. I can’t believe they specified head coach. WOW.
This. After ~15 years with the school, he probably had the leverage to dictate that wording the contract. I’m sure it was very deliberate and probably a non-negotiable sticking point.

This contract extension was signed immediately after a 20 loss season. No way Lutz should have been given the extension in the first place, and no way he should have had enough pull to force that kind of wording in the contract.
