How long does it take to hire a good for nothing, cheap ass coach from the Univeristy of Ohio anyway? If he's the guy go ahead and announce it already so we can be once day closer to his firing.

It's Skerry to think about that.

Pretty much this. FWIW, Christian was just on the radio somewhere claiming he hasn't actively pursued any other jobs

The most unthinkable part about this hire is that BC has to pay a buyout for this jerkoff.

You knew there was a problem when they retained Fogler. Meant it was all or nothing on Jay Wright.

Wait until you see his BC salary and how long the deal is for. This is like when we re-upped Spaz and folks were telling us it was an extension in name only... and then it turned out to be anything but. Yeah... you think it's bad now... wait til you hear the terms.

That's some nice oversight right there by Bates and the BOT. Congrats to Leahy for killing sports at BC. You can now retire in peace.

I am heading to the Final Four on Friday (apparently I missed the memo that Beeker sucks at being a basketball coach). If I see Mr. Butt Cut Bates, I'll gladly give him a cxnt punt on behalf of the board. Unless of course Teddy is right about Wright.

A Conflict of Interest! Quick, round up all the board lawyers and let's file for a TRO to enjoin this hire!

Given the number of lawyers here, if we divvy it up equally we'd each only need to write a sentence or two of the pleadings and it'd be done.

He hasn't actively pursued it because we came calling through his agent... Eddie Fogler.

yes. actively pursued does not mean he wasn't approached and then responded to the approach. that would not be actively pursuing.

Wait...Fogler is now an agent? Whoa. That's some pretty strong work there, Beaner.

Seriously though, if we were to hire Jim Christian, what the fuck is taking so long?

Are we really negotiating with this loser? If it is him he should take our 500k and fucking run.

Eddie Fogler is not an agent. He is a consultant for Boston College and apparently if this is true not a very good one. :ace

If I had to speculate, and I intend to, this is how things likely went down:

Scene 1: Split Screen - two men talking on land line phones

BB: "we need some help up here with this search we're running. We like to do things the old-fashioned way and need to prepare a list of candidates for review by marineagle."

EF: "Of course, I understand and we only do business the old-fashioned way, so please, come and meet me in person tomorrow."

Scene 2: Office - Leather chairs. Mahogany Desk - Huge Banner stating "COCKS"

EF: "I've got a full stable of clients. Take a look at Jim Christian here, he went to Boston College University for crissakes!"

BB: "No, no, I've got my sights set on some big fish. Doesn't seem right to me. Let's talk about my names for a while."

EF: [Muttering to himself -"so he wants to play hardball, huh?] Aloud "Sure, sure, tell me about it then."

BB: "Well, I like Tommy Amaker, Jay Wright, Gregg Marshall....."

EF: [Tuning out BB and furiously typing email to his assistant that reads "Barb - get our usual kit, go time"]

BB: [Interrupted by Barb] "Why sure I'd love a cup of coffee."

Scene 3: Sips coffee, screen goes fuzzy, BB slurs his speech "what's in this coffee?"

Scene 4: BB unconscious and undressed, face buried in the loins of a DGF style "lady" while Barb snaps pictures

Scene 5: Cut to EF smiling ruefully

EF: "He never saw 'The Firm'. His mistake. I'd like to see him try not to hire Christian now."

I'm not sure why Brad Bates would put his job under so much scrutiny by hiring someone like Christian. If we truly are at that candidate level why would he not go with a Schmidt or O'Shea or Mooney guy who have lots of fans at BC and would give Bates a LOOONG leash. If he hires Christian he is truly out of touch with reality.
