Tim...back to the time when you were 'coaching football'.....

John Curry to STRS Board member Tim Myers, September 16, 2009

Tim,

The Dispatch featured the article below in which you were quoted as saying, "It would be like back when I was coaching football and at the end of the season they would say, 'You didn't win any games, so we won't pay you the contracted amount for the season.' "

Did it occur to you that since you were "contracted" for coaching football that your employer was legally bound by the terms of your contract? In the same vein, did it ever occur to you that none of the STRS investments staff have a contract of employment with STRS?

That, Tim, is a real comparison of apples to oranges.
