NFLLabor.com FACT CHECK: DeMaurice Smith at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business «

^

FACT: The NFL publicly released its proposal to the players on March 11. We offered to show the union five years (2005-2009) of year-by-year league-wide operating profits based on audited club reports reviewed and confirmed by Deloitte & Touche. We offered to show the union the number of clubs that had declines in operating profits from 2005-2009, and by how much on a cumulative basis, again based on audited financial statements. We offered the NFLPA the ability to review Deloitte’s work. We also offered to give five years (2005-2009) of audited individual club financial statements to a third-party accounting firm to verify for the union the profitability data provided to the union. And there were no conditions put on the information offered, meaning that they could have asked for more. But the union’s concern was giving up its public relations position. As linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer wrote in an NBC Chicago blog post on April 1, “It’s true, the NFL did offer some financial info towards the end of mediation. We rejected it, not because nothing is better than something, which it is not, but because the perception would then be that we got what we needed.”

...all the coaches or just Mike? My guess Mike's salary is guaranteed regardless of lockout or not.

All the coaches but Mike

The coaches are making a sound business decision...aligning themselves with the man who signs the checks. Distancing themselves from the NFLCA filing while at the same time being vague enough to not alienate the players.

How many of those guys are actually getting paid during the lockout? If I were a position coach not getting paid, I'd side with the NFLCA.

My guess is that DS is paying them tho'. I haven't heard anything that says the Skins have furloughed or reduced any pay. I think if we actually miss games then maybe, but like the Skins coaches said, people need to work it out and get back to football.

I don't get how "not getting paid" is a sound business decision. Not to mention that coaches are measured on the performance of the players, which is being hindered by this lockout. Like I said, I'm curious how trigger happy will owners be about firing coaches, given that this lockout is a huge negative for team performance next season (if there is one).

I think we agree his death impacted these negotiations, I don't think I believe his take on it.
Also surprised me how negative the comments were towards him and his sentiment.

[SmootSmack]

Well, many say none of this would have happened if Upshaw didn't know that Tags was going to retire during the last negotiation. They say Upshaw knew that Tags was planning to announce his retirement and he (Tagliabue) didn't want his legacy to be his tenure ended with a lockout/strike so Upshaw got Tags and the owners to agree to things they normally wouldn't have otherwise.
