Scooter Harrington Decommits

[Corporal Funishment]

The facilities are a symptom not a cause. No one goes all in on fancy facilities and then goes cheap-o on coaches and everything else. When we do build new facilities at BC, they'll be closer to bare minimum acceptable than best in class. Schools build fancy facilities when spending money to compete is part of the athletic strategy - same with when they spend for a name coach.

BC pays more than Stanford.

This site shows the opposite. I don't know what to believe.

Bama needed Saban... tOSU needed Meyer... Michigan needed Harbaugh... The most storied programs in college football had to go out and pay more than anyone else in the sport (professional or college) to hire an established coach to make themselves great again. Everything in college sports revolves around the head coach.

There are a few ADs who can deftly identify then next rising star. Accordingly, they are able to do things cheaper while delivering consistant success. But, outside of these great evaluators... it is a world of you get-what-you-pay-for. For instance, if BC gave a crap about sports, they would've hired Jay Wright instead of Jim Christian. But, as wrote on the BB board... BC sports has followed the grand plan set forth by Fr. Leahy: join a profitable conference that pays you the same regardless of results. This way, there is no pressure to win and even less fiscal incentive to spend money to support athletics.

Nonetheless, the constant cries for an indoor facility are distractions to the real issues that BC faces... not unlike "more gun control" movement that came out of the San Bernadino terrorist attacks.

BC should have offered Chip Kelly an equity position and profit sharing to take the coaching job.

For all you ninnies who can't post quickly enough how much better Stanford is than BC in every way, here's the link for your new home: http://thecardboard.org/board/

Now, I'll get out of your way as you gush about what a clever name they have for their board and gosh isn't John Elway the dreamiest....

So we lost a pussy-ass stage manager who only got the job because his uncle owns the theater. Consider me non-plussed.

Hey coach, are you mad that they re-dubbed your voice in the Uno's commercial?

I thought Harrington was ultimately slated to be a LT. Not that our LTs have been very involved in the offense either.
