Nor should he have had to. The contract stated Marty had complete control. Danny didn't like that, so he went back on his word and attempted to get Marty to void key terms of the contract. Schottenheimer stood his ground -- just as the contract said he could.

Danny made Beathard a bullsh*t offer to make it appear that every effort was made to get him here. Bottom line was that the Boy Owner couldn't stand not having his greasy little hands in the mix along with Vinny back as his right-hand man. Then Spurrier came along.

And the rest was misery, er ...history.
