Tiny's quotes on the situation

I don't know. Do you? Why are your assumptions any more valid than anyone elses?

Well, I'm going to simply say that I am letting common sense be my guide. A young, up-and-coming assistant with a tremendous track record of recruiting success resigns/is fired from a Top 25 program days before the Spring signing period ends. That assistant did not leave for another job...he's still unemployed in basketball circles.

That's why I believe my assumptions have validity, and they certainly have more validity than some of your "suggestions".

Why? How do you know that OT and the financial advisor didn't become friends?
 
boksooner said:
Maybe they became friends? Lovers? Gambling buddies? Maybe he was selling OT drugs on the side? Maybe he was giving OT interior design suggestions? Or maybe they were, in fact, arranging payment under the table to a top prospect?

There is no way to know without the texts.

It was a Tiger Woods style relationship.
 
I have never seen this brought up yet, but what if he was OT finacial advisor. Not saying he is/was but with all the factless allegations and assumptions thrown around why not this.

That's it...you win. Your common sense, as evidenced, is clearly more logical than mine. :clap

We'll just act like both of them aren't currently unemployed despite the fact that neither probably planned to be about 2 months ago.

I never said mine was more logical. What I am saying is rather absurd and if you are taking me seriously, then you aren't very bright. I am merely using extreme cases to point out that we have no idea what is going on.

Hey Mr. Human Resources Guy...Hausinger is not unemployed.

I'm just sayin...

This appears to be a game of semantics. He lost his job, because he hurt the image of Merrill Lynch. He has since gotten a new job with a different firm.

I don't know about using the term "semantics" when he explicitly said "we'll...act like both of them aren't UNEMPLOYED".

He was just flat wrong.

Ummm, sorry I was flat wrong...I had no idea he had been hired by someone else. If he simply provided a loan to a kid and his family that needed one, why would Merrill Lynch fire him for hurting their image?

Is this really what you want to hang your hat on to somehow lend credence to the notion that nothing that went down was improper? Seriously? :facepalm
 
You know what, screw semantics. Both Taliaferro and Merrill Lynch dude were fired for SOMETHING.

Why do you think Taliaferro was fired from OU?

Insubordination for refusing to fix his unibrow

Again, I wasn't really questioning it. You were. I just pointed out that you were wrong. See, when you start stating things as fact, you run into issues like this. Could it be since you didn't know that "fact" that there are other facts you aren't privy to as well?

Look, I know what you're saying. I don't like the situation any more than ANY of you guys. I just choose to wait on the FACTS. There are VERY FEW of those floating around on the internet right now. There ARE things that look fishy and I realize that.

On a sort of unrelated note, I find it pretty humorous that posters on this board that defended Kelvin (and I was actually one of those - I thought/think phone calls are a VERY minor offense) after his run-in with the NCAA in which HE was DIRECTLY involved in the infractions, and obviously never really accepted Capel, now use this as reason for HIS firing when HE never directly did ANYTHING...AND I think simply arranging for a $3K loan (if that's what it was) is minor as well. The NCAA has shown (Oh St/$8K) they don't take that amount very seriously either - and that was directly from a booster of the university.
