well that's disappointing, and all the guys on the BC board were talking like he was their best coach ever....

I was hoping he'd at least stay long enough for most of TOB's players to graduate out and have his true ability exposed

Jags reminded me of Chuck with his ego and showiness, they have a similar stark contrast to TOB's demeanor

1/5/2009 12:34:57 AM

im listening to this on the Dan Patty Show ... pretty funny people think he is that good of a coach...
bad move for the Jets if they hire this guy...bad move for Jags since BC seems to be pretty pissed. BC was spoiled by TOB staying there for a decade

1/5/2009 11:01:49 AM

that is absolutely hilarious.

the best part is, judging from the BC's free scout.com board, they do NOT want logan as their head coach.

This did not just happen in the past few days. * Gene and Jags have "discussed" the recruiting class for this year, long before the Jets issue. It would be fair to say Gene thought it was going poorly. * Jags would prefer to be in the pros. If he is fired and not hired - a big if - by the pros, he will go the college avenue only if he needs the job. * The Jets interview (insert your analogy here) put the situation over the top.

this was on BC's free board ... lol

Shannahan and Gruden gone. Crazy offseason.

Both the Bucs and Broncos definitely dropped the ball this year. Two former Super Bowl coaches who have disappointed recently are out.

1/16/2009 6:15:30 PM

laugh, TN really could of gotten Gruden

1/16/2009 6:20:17 PM

Wonder if Al would rehire him in Oakland

In all fairness Grudens super bowl was Dungy's team, so i have a hard time giving gruden much credit for that ring

You do realize that he won that Super Bowl over the Raiders, you know.. his old team the year before. So in most cases I would say your statement is correct. But since he did defeat his old team in the Super Bowl I would say that he still gets credit for his own Super Bowl win.

1/16/2009 7:32:43 PM

Bucs promoted Raheem Morris

1/17/2009 4:13:49 PM

spagnuolo to coach the rams

1/17/2009 4:42:21 PM

kinda crazy, Coughlin and Belichick are the only active head coaches with Super Bowl wins

Mark Gottfried Fired as Alabama Head Basketball Coach
http://www.myfoxal.com/myfox/pages/Sports/Detail?contentId=8311844&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=6.2.1

Alabama head basketball coach Mark Gottfried was fired Monday after a disappointing start to the 2008 basketball season.

In a report on wwwTideSports.com, the sports website for The Tuscaloosa News, Gottfried will be relieved of his duties this week and is not expected to coach any of the team's remaining games.

The University of Alabama had not made any official announcement.

Gottfried, who was hired in 1998 as Alabama's head coach, is 210-131 overall in his 11 seasons. He led the Crimson Tide to a 12-7 start (2-3 conference) for the current season.

He replaced David Hobbs as Alabama’s head coach in April 1998 and took Alabama to five consecutive NCAA tournaments beginning in 2002, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2004.

[Edited on January 26, 2009 at 3:57 PM. Reason : more like Gott-fired]

1/26/2009 3:55:53 PM

^probably has a lot to do with the Ronald Steele incident

Mark Gottfried =/= Herb Sendek

Look for 'Bama to make a run at Calipari.

1/26/2009 4:49:27 PM

I wouldnt be surprised to hear Bama being put on some sort of probation. Either appointed or by the NCAAs.

1/26/2009 6:49:56 PM

Gruden is getting absolutely ripped by former Buc players.

Simeon Rice just went off on Sportscenter.

1/29/2009 2:59:19 PM

the Bucs hired Jeff Jagodzinskifjdkjsi to be their OC

1/29/2009 3:03:12 PM

Felton is out at UGA

everyone makes a run at him, but he'll stay there until he wins a big one or about 4 more years, whichever comes first

1/29/2009 3:42:32 PM

Calipari likes being a big fish in a small pond

thats why he will always stay at memphis.

The guy is a great recruiter so he gets some great talent.

He is happy going 25-5 every year in Conference USA

1/29/2009 4:23:29 PM

did john calipari himself to you he was happy?????

maybe he isnt

1/29/2009 4:24:42 PM

BUT WHO WAS PHONE?

1/29/2009 5:15:14 PM

Watch Mike Davis end up at UGA and Cousins go there just so he can face off against Favors again. It's also closer to home than State.

Some people are already thinking that they can land Tubby Smith which is preposterous. Tubby is very happy at Minnesota. Why would he go back to the SEC and have to compete against Florida (and Donovan began to own Tubby), Tennessee (Pearl has turned them around), and his old school Kentucky in the SEC East? UGA, besides Damien Wilkins and their 1983 Final Four, has no tradition worth noting. They have shit facilities in Stegeman Coliseum too. And it's not like they are shit facilities that are historical either, like Williams Arena. I know they added a new practice facility, but it still doesn't compare to the facilities found at UT and UK. Tubby probably likes being at a school that doesn't have another big school in the state to compete with. At UM he can recruit the best of the state with no real threat to him. Yeah maybe Wisconsin or Marquette might come in and steal a recruit every now and then, but not that often. He's got the two best 2009 players in Minnesota already committed. I am a little surprised though that he didn't really go after Trent Lockett, who is going to Arizona State next year.

1/29/2009 6:00:05 PM

^ he's like a better version of herb sendek, that tubby smith.

i'm sure he's tickled pink at minnesota.

1/29/2009 6:16:58 PM

Tubby is twice the coach Herb is, and I liked Herb.

1/29/2009 6:20:49 PM

oh i know, but i can't help but think of herb when talking about tubby. think about it.

tubby was a national title winning coach at one of the most decorated programs ever.
herb was a sweet sixteen making coach at a modestly decorated program.

they both got run out, both went to schools where no one gives a fuck about basketball, and they're both doing well.

he's just a better herb sendek. although i agree, a much better herb sendek.

1/29/2009 6:40:41 PM

Minnesota actually had some basketball history though. Arizona State had pretty much no history.

1/29/2009 6:42:35 PM

did i mention both schools are maroon and yellow??

fine, don't let me have it.

1/29/2009 6:46:59 PM

Tubby Smith - 1 national title

Herb Sendek - 0 conference titles

1/30/2009 8:27:31 AM

right, tubby smith is a good bit better.

[Edited on January 30, 2009 at 8:29 AM. Reason : but kentucky is a good bit better than nc state.]

Miami picks UNC's Lovett to run defense

MIAMI — North Carolina assistant John Lovett is Miami's choice for defensive coordinator and could sign a contract with the school by midweek, a Hurricanes athletic department official familiar with the hiring process said Monday.

The school is aiming to introduce Lovett on Wednesday.

Miami coach Randy Shannon indicated last week that he wanted to make a hire within two weeks of spring football season getting under way at the Coral Gables, Fla. campus. The Hurricanes start practice Feb. 24.

Lovett did not immediately return either an e-mail or phone call to his North Carolina office seeking comment.

If hired, Lovett would become Miami's third defensive coordinator in three years. Shannon fired Tim Walton after the 2007 season and replaced him with Bill Young, who left to join the staff at Oklahoma State.

So for three weeks, Shannon looked for a replacement, while also hiring new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple and flying around the country to close the 2009 recruiting season.

Shannon considered taking the job himself - he was Miami's defensive coordinator before becoming head coach - but always viewed himself as a last-ditch possibility.

"I want to find the right person," Shannon said.

He chose Lovett, who has worked with Whipple before. They were assistants at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. in the early 1980s.

Lovett has spent the last two years as a defensive assistant and special teams coach for the Tar Heels, and also has been defensive coordinator at Auburn, Clemson and Bowling Green. He's also worked at the college level at Brown, Maine, Cincinnati, UNLV and Mississippi, plus had a stint with the New York Jets in 1984.

Lovett is also a well-known recruiter, and has been credited by North Carolina coach Butch Davis in the past as someone with extensive knowledge of schools in the Southeast.

good for the U

bad for tarsqueels

2/10/2009 11:03:56 AM

so i was at work today in Alabama and some of my customers came in talking about how good Alabama basketball is gonna be after they hire Calapari. i said "excuse me?" they went on to say that it was a sure thing because "his people" are in contact with the AD at Alabama. with this i laughed and explained our courting of calapari. Their response was "Alabama has a much more attractive program, and that he'd be crazy not to take the job."
1. has anyone heard such rumors?
2. was i wrong for laughing at these guys?

3/4/2009 1:44:04 PM

have heard rumors.


and its obviously not a better program, but I think its definitely a more attractive job.

3/4/2009 1:52:07 PM

Calipari going to Bama would be good for us. That takes away our main "one and done" competitor if he goes further away from NC and to a legit conference...

"Alabama has a much more attractive program"

being a basketball coach at a football school, or vice versa is usually a cushy gig...you win, and they love you. You lose and they don't really care.....just wait for the bread n butter sport to start.

3/4/2009 2:02:52 PM

and i always thought i couldnt hate bama any more than i already do...

3/4/2009 2:03:05 PM

^^ bingo. AND, if you go to State, and do really good year after year, it would still take a LONG time to not be the 3rd "best" program in the State, much less the conference.

3/4/2009 2:15:40 PM

yep. state's a tough gig for sure.

although duke is right on it's way to herb sendek-ism.

believe it or not some coaches actually like a challenge, rather than taking the job with the least expectations/easiest conference

3/4/2009 4:10:46 PM

some do, but i don't think calipari does. not b/c he turned us down, but b/c he hasn't left memphis yet.
