Official fire JC thread

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

he may not be making much in comparison to the p5 market but he's also not at the bottom of the list for compensation. he's pretty near the bottom of the list for performance.

His previous job was not in the ACC. Hard to get angry about this.

take the comparison of previous location out of the equation. he's the suckiest performer in the p5 but he isn't paid as the suckiest

meh - whatever, i don't care. much like slaughter, i don't like jimmy mac... never have

Are we counting Eddie Jordan here or not?

I like the last paragraph of the article where hockeyruption goes full-sycophant.

Looks like last year's success netted him an extension https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/status ... 2018944000

Fire Brad Bates. Fire Brad Bates, immediately. No excuse for this whatsoever.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

BC really does have zero standards. Holy shit.

[angrychicken]

Bates took the red pill.

[sparky]

I am not rooting against the guy, but even if you were Christian's biggest defender, I can't see defending this.

[eagle9903]

I will make up two arguments although I don't support either:

1) Spinelli or Heath would leave without the assurance of the extra year for the HC;

2) Bates is concerned Christian would turn tail and return to the MAC, again.

This is the extension-for-recruiting-purposes that worked so incredibly well for GDF and Spaz.

Bates suffering from confirmation bias? Bates doesn't want to embarrass himself with another coaching search lest it make him look bad when he's looking for a new job next year? Fogler has pictures of Bates, caught mid-render?

Can someone explain to me what exactly Fogler did? Shouldn't the AD know who he wants to talk with and hire. Is that not his job?

Fogler did all the shit Bates was supposed to do.

No, really. Bates didn't even have to pick up the phone. Here is a list of shit one of Fogler's competitors do as detailed in an ESPN article a few years ago:

• Handling all calls inquiring about the coaching vacancy

• Reviewing its database with search committee members and providing all members with a private log-in to access the database remotely

• Contacting coaches or agents to request interviews

• Arranging for travel and accommodations for candidates who will be interviewed

• Conducting public records searches -- credit, criminal and motor vehicle reports -- of all candidates

• Confirming academic degrees

• Receiving a signed statement from candidates confirming information and affirming that nothing else need be disclosed

• Negotiating a contract on behalf of the university

• Receiving signed terms of an agreement from the coaching candidate and all parties before the introductory news conference

this is my exact thought. it's the only way we can recruit simmons away from the ivies

Something else that would help for recruiting purposes: winning a conference game

Then what exactly is the AD doing?

I clearly need to get into athletics administration

based on the news story i saw you on years ago, you do not have a buttcut and therefore do not qualify for this position

The only real significance of this news is that Bates won't be hiring anymore head basketball coaches at BC... which is a good thing.

Haha I almost forgot about that.

GWU fired lonergan 2 months after opening an investigation into him being verbally abusive. I guess 13 players transferred from the program over 5 years. So it looks like he won't be replacing JC

Apparently all his gay players hated the homophobic slurs

Lovie Smith is a loser land no improvement for the recepticable that is U Illinois

Lovie Smith is a horrific hire. Coming from a life long Bucs fan.

Coming from a lifelong Bears fan and someone who has a degree from Illinois, I'd be happy with the hire. He did a pretty good job with the Bears and if he ever had a real quarterback, he'd have won that SuperBowl, The Glazers and Bucs and therefore you are losers.

That Lovie Smith hire is working out swell for Illinois.

It is year 1, give it some time. It's not like he took over at Michigan that was loaded with talent. Beckman was a hack and left cupboard empty!!!

Once they finish this thing at 2-10 he will leave or be forced out, or so is the rumor that is circulating

This made me laugh.

Bumping this.

This guy needs to be fired at the end of this season.

[Dick Rosenthal]

Talked to a former athletic department employee who now works at a far more highly respected athletic department. The Christian hire is even worse than I was originally lead to believe and Fogler and Bates ought to be beaten with a bag of soda cans for making a hire that both were warned against by people to whom they should have listened. Money quote "he was hiring out of the MAC no matter what."

[commavegarage]

i find it hard to believe that somebody from our athletic department in the last 10 years has found his or her way to a more respected athletic department

If you've ever dealt with these people, it's this.
