Thanks for the moving the conversation forward. Tom.

Someone, on EO I think (but I could be thinking of ATL's blog) claimed a week ro two back to have some inside second hand info Bates has been told he won't be renewed.

I think that was from the FireDaz twitter account.

Keep majority of the staff in place to stabilize recruiting and gives the admin some time to find a new AD and run a HC search process, if you have some success and can push the LT HC issue (and see what happens with certain NFL guys for instance) that becomes another benefit.

No, no, no.....as we all have said, the AD goes first, and let new AD bring in a guy. So, you want Coughlin as your AD. Then you got the guy who knows BC well, has coached here and knows what it takes to win, you have a guy with considerable cache who can strong arm big donors, and you have a guy who will be very good at critically assessing the coaching candidates and with connections that may make some guys who may not otherwise be interested in the job at BC more interested, as with Coughlin at AD, it would demonstrate a commitment to getting this mess turned around.

The disadvantage, I suppose is I have no insight at all what he knows about hoops, but, I still think he could accurately assess the kind of coaching personality it takes to make BC successful.

Ahh you're right. I can't even get some stoopid rumor right.

I'm on board with what EagleTX just said.

DIdnt mean him as AD, thats ridiculous. The coughlin thing I was referring to was in regards to people saying Addazio could be in trouble following a Cuse loss. IF he was to be fired mid season, bringing in TC as an interim HC and keeping the rest of the staff in place to stabilize recruiting (and hopefully bring someone in who will get his hands off the offense). Then when bates leaves/is fired, it gives the admin time to run an AD search, have a HC/TC in place, and then let hte new AD make a hire. It will never happen since the broader admin doesnt think like that, which is why a BOT athletic advisory committee (which ATL said seems to be coming) would be ideal to have in place to make/suggest such a decision.

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet... but the dry ice we use for the smoke is simply high school level. Look at the quality smoke provided at places like Miami!!! Unfortunately, so long as Leahy is here, I don't see how we can recruit while asking recruits to walk through inferior fake smoke.

And, don't get me started on the "eagle" screech which is so clearly that of a hawk...

Maybe we could get Jay Wright to take over midseason. I'm sure he knows a little about football.

...and what about the foghorn in the hockey rink?!

BC's recruiting has been in decline for several years. You can complain all you want about star rankings, but we are not turning out NFL talent like we use to under TOB. Don Brown definitely showed what excellent coaching can accomplish at BC, but he is gone. Bad or average coaching cannot cover up 2 star and 3 star rosters.

The first two years, Don Brown showed that excellent offenses can be undone by his terrible defenses. The third year, Don Brown showed his excellent D can carry a terrible offense to 3 wins against terrible teams (but none in the ACC).

Keep going Corners.

TC may be a pipe dream, but he's a great pipe dream.

1) He's not a home-run hire that we need to lure with money. He's financially secure. The lure is his connection to and affection for BC.

2) He can attract the best assistants to run the offense and the defense.

3) He could instantly change recruiting at BC.

4) He's available.

We have so little to enjoy about BC sports these days, stop crushing the pipe dream fantasies...

Don Brown in just 3 seasons with 2 and 3 star recruits built the number one defense in the nation. Sorry, HJS, but I value Michigan's opinion of Don Brown more than your limited football knowledge.

Mich hired Brown as a DC, not HC.

Well, if one were to go by that interview he gave the other day, Jagzzz wants the job and would have things righted in 2 years.

Nevermind that it was his bullshit that ruined things here to begin with.

i take it from this that you wear boss's jizz flavored cologne and bend over for him every time he asks you to, no questions asked. that's the only jags bullshit that i know of... when gdf's weener was out, jags refused to play the role of angrychicken

brian kelly will be available very soon and looking to rebuild his "brand" . he seems like a choice people think we should make.

Layla was the best thing about Lane... but, I'd still love to hire him. If you think EA posters got their whalepanties in a bunch over dental hygenists, imagine the rumors that would circulate about Lane crushing half the volleyball team.

I know he would never be a real candidate but Kiffin would be a terrible fit. The guy has never had any experience outside or elite, football factories and never worked a place like BC. He also screwed up all three of his head coaching gigs. None were in a better place when he left.

we get it - you want ryan day as head coach because he DOES have experience with all those things
