Dan Enos: smart or slimy?

Submitted by philidor's legacy on

Dan Enos was officially hired as Alabama QB coach. I don't know Mr. Enos. Never met him. He might be an upstanding guy. But something doesn't smell right. His contract at Arkansas had a no-compete clause with other SEC schools + a large buyout. So after 17 days in Ann Arbor as WR coach, he jumps to Tuscaloosa. This short term move cleared the way for him to avoid a buyout agreement he had with Arkansas and void the non-compete clause regarding joing another SEC staff. Maybe he and Mr. Harbaugh are great personal friends and Jim did him a favor? Does not seem logical. The move seems slimy. Thoughts?

Unless Arkansas’ attorney was horrible at writing not non-competes, a small stop at UM isn’t going to void a typical non-compete. Mostly they are geography + competition restrictions within a certain amount of time (e.g., 1 year).
