Andy Katz's ESPN Article before the firing was official. Kinda gives you an idea how this will play out Nationally. If Reggie Jackson transfers, the next coach will suck for his first 3 seasons.

Uh Reggie, please don't transfer. You're one of my favorite BC players ever.

Why do sportsfans act like assholes?


It's a joke. Relax. Skinner is going to find another job without any problem. He also got a 3 million dollar buyout, don't feel too bad for him.

I like Skinner, I didnt think he was a great coach (Still no inbound pass) and got lucky with Dudly and Smith. I wish he wasnt fired and left on his own but what can you do. I would have given him the extra year ala TOB.

That said, can we bring in someone super agressive, maybe someone from the Izzo tree.

I largely agree with this, but you can be assured that Al's replacement will be thoroughly underwhelming. Spaz Hire, Take Two.

What happens to all of the timeouts that Al has been accruing?

One of these days he'll use them all at once so he can go to his orthodontist appointment.

I hope we find a coach that can go out and recruit like hell. We haven't had one of those coaches in a while, and its time to change the way we have "success." Making the ACC and NCAA tournament 2nd rounds isn't success. Winning the ACC tournament and getting deep in the NCAAs is success.

Come on Gene. I'll back you on the firing of Skinner as long as you don't fuck up the new hiring.

Most of us can agree that this was a good move right?

No. It depends on the hire. We can all agree that this is an opportunity to be a good move.

Gene has made an aggressive move in letting go of Skinner - now the question is whether he can make another bold move to push BC into uncharted territory, or whether he'll puss out.

I kinda like following up his aggressive move to fire Jags after interviewing with the Jets?

I would be happy with that!

Now I know this would be so un BC like but what about pushing for Bruce Pearl? I mean he is a BC guy.

Get Pearl. IF SJU can make a futile attempt to contact Billy Donovan, the least BC can do is make an attempt to contact Pearl. Show us you care.

Really....not happening. I'll drive to Knoxville with Atleagle to help Pearl pack up his stuff if he wants to come here, but I highly doubt he does.

Get Pearl to Eastern Clothing of Watertown and get him fitted for his gold suit (with sparkles). I don't know how he'd say no to that.
Seriously though, before GDF hires Cooley or Coen, can he at LEAST throw us all a bone and pretend to contact Pearl or Knight?

as an aside, where in the world is 74???

So what about the timing of this thing. The article says he was told he was not going to be retained last Wednesday, but they were giving him a chance to get another job first to save face. No wonder his staff has been so quiet and Skinner hasn't been around since his interview.

Does Al get to take his timeouts with him or did BC buy them out?
