While Jones and Orsini have had direct discussions, "it's a tremendous opportunity to meet face to face with the SMU community," Steinberg said. "Steve Orsini has been very compelling."

Steinberg said his plans on departing Dallas will depend on how the discussions unfold.

This is so done it isn't funny.

I think we can all agree Steinberg is not an idiot. This is not his first rodeo. He knows how to negotiate.

If he was still negotiating do you think he would:

1) recommend to his client to resign so he would be negotiating from a position of weakness?

2) say that the people he is negotiating with (Orsini) is "very compelling"?

NO CHANCE - DONE DEAL

wasn't Steinberg the agent for Troy Aikman?

Yes....

Leigh Steinberg is one of the country’s leading sports attorney. During his 33-year career, Steinberg has represented over 150 professional athletes in football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, golf, boxing and Olympic sports. His firm, Leigh Steinberg Enterprises, maintains a client roster that has many high profile names in sports. He has represented the No. 1 pick overall in the NFL draft a record eight times, a milestone unrivaled within the sports industry.

Steinberg insists that every contract negotiated for his players include clauses that require the athlete to give back to their hometown, high school, university or national charities and foundations. According to Steinberg, this allows the athlete to function as a positive role model by repaying the community that helped shape him. As a result, Steinberg’s clients have donated over $100 million to hundreds of charities and scholarships nationwide.

Excellent analysis.

Then, from your comments about giving back, can I assume Dickerson & James were NEVER cleints of Mr. Steinberg?

LOL! Can the clause in JJ's contract have him donate to the Mustang Club?
