Tang gonna Tang

[FarmerCy1]

does he have a go fund me for this legal fight?

Guarantee they’re probably taking this case on contingency. This is probably as close to a slam dunk as you’ll see. If it was truly for cause, you fire Tang immediately. You don’t give him a choice. With that part out there now, they’ll sue K State and Taylor for the buyout, damages for reputational harm, and fees/court costs. This is going to set them back a few years

If this goes to a trial, then this thread will end up being the longest thread in CF history.

That makes me wonder. What is the longest thread in CF history? Actually, it would be cool to see a Top 10 list of the longest threads in CF history.

Rumor has it Bobby Hurly changed his cell phone number after hearing the Tang news.

Ik ur joking but this is Bobby’s last year on his contract iirc.

The game on 2/14 was, for the purple kitties, “The Last Tang-o”…..

I dont know. I saw they got at least some form of timeout, but not sure if total ban or what.

Isn’t circumventing a lifetime ban just changing email addresses? I get that us, as a community, could sus out that the same person was back, but a lifetime ban isn’t really enforceable for the strong willed, ‘surly’ type of person.

Did Surly get a lifetime ban? He/She was at least entertaining from time to time.

Surly was not entertaining in any way.

Its crazy how quick this has turned from “**** that clown” to “why is KSU abusing that clown”

I think it is more a case of "f*** that clown" to "Whoa whoa Manhattan we were being figurative! Why are you actually f***ing that clown?????"

There's a few megathreads around for combining various things that have been around over time that'd probably be near the top.

I'd guess the longest ever were probably some of the realignment threads that got nuked because they were so big they were slowing the board down.

Wildcat was always such a generic mascot for such a proud second best program in Kansas. They're could use the money they save by firing the guy for cause to do a full rebrand:

The K-State Klownplows: We Did It for the Tang

Will be an interesting court case to follow. Assuming there is one. If there is however, he runs the risk of losing the case AND never getting another D1 coaching gig again

Do you really think he has to worry about that. Who would hire him as HC????? Iowa doesn't have a vacancy.

 

[Clonefan32]

I have to admit I kind of love the "cause" in the "for cause" part of the firing is that people were really, really making fun of the program online.

I think he's more interested in being a preacher than a head coach. K-State might just fund his next venture.

 

[flycy]

And didn't KSU fire another African American in FB a few years ago? Maybe Prince wasn't fired. But if he was that won't be a great look either.

Really? You guys really go here. In both cases it is beyond obvious their performance deserved termination. Please quit with all your race nonsense.

No way Tang gets full buyout. If he sues, and wins a judgment, his lawyer gets a third. If he sues and negotiates, his lawyer gets a third. He might as well skip the lawyer and just sit down with the AD. He’s probably end up with more money.

Now do K-State's side. It's how the world works unfortunately. The lawyers always win.

Five teams making the final four. Math checks out.

Jerome Tang declined K-State’s offer to finish season, then resign

K-State gave Jerome Tang a choice: finish the season and resign under a reduced financial settlement, or be fired immediately for cause.

Horrible look for KSU. It’s hard to argue they had cause to fire him AND were going to allow him to finish out the season. What a **** show.

*coincidentally this is cause to fire the AD.

I'm no attorney but if true and there is any significant record of this proposed arrangement, Jerome is going to get every penny of that money. This offer completely undermines any argument they would have for the reason for the immediate firing if it ever got into a court room. Incredibly foolish athletics department there.

Love seeing all of Tang's former players come out and support him getting the full 18.7 mil. You can see how fast their fans are turning on their beloved players. Their fans seem to be praying that there is some massive Tang scandal that will save them. While it is funny to see considering that a few years ago, they acted like he was the greatest thing on earth and acted like Iowa State had a spy agency in the basketball department.
