Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2992352, member: 2221"] That sentence in bold right there, says it all. He either breached the contract or he didn't. As far as I'm concerned, I hope the Broncos call the bluff and let the courts decide... if it gets that far, which I highly doubt. There is the ethical side of things. The board/management are entirely within their right to believe Bennett is no longer capable of delivering the results the Broncos expect (this isn't ageism, it's based on what has been demonstrated round by round on the field since 2015), and as far as I know, the offer to move Bennett up in the hierarchy of the Broncos on a long term position, was a show of respect and acknowledgement of his worth outside of the field. The Broncos were entitled as an employer, to look for a new coach at any time they want, regardless of whether Bennett was contracted or not. Whether they were right about looking to replace Bennett is not a legal question, but the future will tell whether it was a sensible decision. No matter what they did behind the scenes, it's definitely not a breach of contract until they actually sack the coach and replace him without justification, which does not appear to be the case, as there is evidence that Bennett was talking to Souths and its players about the 2019 season. If it was without knowledge from the Broncos, it is a breach of contract. If it was with knowledge from the Broncos, under the condition the early swap was going to happen, it became a breach of contract as soon as Bennett decided he wasn't moving after all. (I believe this is what probably happened) [/QUOTE]
