Now that I think of it, the USC quote may have referenced a "76-second knockout". Does anyone remember?

[HJS]

Actual quotes from Spaz are perhaps the most damning.

Here's the thing... while I have villified Spaz's promotion since the day it occurred... And, while I think he is thoroughly incompetent as a head coach... And, while I have heard a lot of the players hate him... I really have a hard time demonizing the man. I actually really just feel sorry for him. He is way the fuck over his head. But, that really isn't his fault. That is the fault of GDF putting him in a position he was never qualified to hold... all in effort to better his image which took a hit because of his ego.

I want GDF gone. And... I want him gone now. The incompetent coaching personnel decisions he has made, the terrible marketing of BC athletics, the oppressive gameday atmosphere we are forced to endure and the destroying of the fanbase through a number of moves (which included a sloppy implementation of DBS). He is the problem. There is no guarantee that he won't just promote Day to the head coach if Spaz is fired. Further, Coach Flip just hearing about his legacy be pissed upon by fans and possibly even getting some unfriendly looks from people who matter will be the most effective way for him to (a) promote Spaz to retirement and (b) hire a real coach by agreeing to keep his greasy Eyetal nose out of the day-2-day ops of the FB program.

So... while we are going through the next 2 months of Henning... please do not lose focus... GDF is our problem... Spaz is just being set up to be the scapegoat.

Flip is never going to fire himself. We should write respectful letters to Leahy.

I like that "the problem" held his ground with Notre Dame ensuring that BC get 1-for-1 instead of having a UConn arrangement.

When did ND agree to that? Oh yeah... after the one last year and quickly were realizing that we were ready to descend to being little brother again. No easier way to brand us as leftovers than kicking our ass every year like they did this one.

For what it's worth, the publisher of firetob didn't take his shit from BC, if I remember correctly. More like his employer.

Forget this... Spaz is an ass and I hope that he and GDF stand too close to an open torch resulting in a grease fire. It's OK for me to say that because I am half Ital.

hey chris, any word back on gene's grand penis? THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!

Nothing. At least it means that somebody is reading the emails before sending off the boilerplate response.

i'm stickying this topic so the few that find us through typing "firecoachflip.com" can see that we're not just a bunch of smarmy, penis posting jackasses

we're not just a bunch of smarmy, penis posting jackasses

we're just a bunch of bc eagle fans who aren't very happy with the coach or the administration

our allegiance is NOT to the coach, the administration, or even the individual players for that matter.

our allegiance is to the school and to the program that we want to see winning and not losing...

GFD will never understand that me thinks

[b0mberMan]

Unfortunately, google searches for "Fire Coach Flip" return primarily news stories about the various times Flip Saunders has been fired from his NBA coaching duties.

[Mosi]

this is from a poster on SoSH, a guy who while a 'Cuse grad is from a BC family and cares, as you can see:


This, of course, is all on the caveat that GDF has to realize that BC is not a destination job for college coaches, which, for some reason, he still believes it is. I think he's the bigger issue than Spaz right now.


He IS the problem. Guys, the AD is the CEO of the athletic department. The coaches, for the most part, report to him/her. And everyone else in the Atletics Department reports to the AD. The buck stops there. The AD runs sports marketing, merchandising, compliance, budgets, hires/fires coaches and puts together or approves the schedules for the varsity athletic teams. BC's athletic program is huge. I think I read someplace where it is the second biggest athletic department among private universities in the country, only exceeded by Stanford. So in order to run that size of a program, you need someone who is part jock, part salesman, part executive and someone who is a visionary, always thinking of ways to better market the product.

I can't speak to what GDF does in his more internal roles as AD, but let's look at at his external roles, namely, hiring coaches, scheduling opponents, marketing and public relations:

Coaches:

He has hired a number of non revenue coaches and had to deal with a problem on the women's ice hockey team. As to those, who knows and who cares. I will say he didn't go outside the Nest at Chestnut Hill for the women's coach...he hired the assistant. Results are mixed.. the girl's team is mediocre. Whether they get better, who knows?


Basketball: He has made his first hire in this area on the men's program. Skinner had worn out his welcome and "suposedly wasn't recruiting any more". Al had indeed worn out his stay but he did OK as a coach. He was the most boring person I have ever seen in my life and did nothing to showcase BC basketball but the dude was somewhat successful and considering how much BC is hated in New England AAU circles, whether due to Skinner, or other things, he did OK. Where did he go to get his next coach...the IVY League. Why, if BC was a destination job as GDF was spouting this spring? Safe hire, compliant program, not a lot of money to spend on the coach. Plus, I am gonna guess not a lot of people were interested in the job.

Women's Hoops: he loses Kathy Inglese who was the most successful coach they had. One day she's there, the next she's gone. Women's hoops sucks now, despite the fact they had Alya Brown on the team and could have used her celebrity as a recruiting and marketing tool for the program. You heard crickets unless you needed someone to sing the National Anthem.

Football: TOB is there for 10 years. He was hired by Chet the Jet but took the program that tanked under Dan Henning and got it respectable again. Granted the team was as vanilla and bland as TOB was but the program cleaned up, got on a streak of low end bowls and moved forward. The Hen finally realized that the mission of BC football was not to get to the next level, but rather was to be a 2nd tier BCS opponent. When the school went to the ACC, he figured he would be able to compete with Penn State for recruits as BC had a very unique and attractive product to sell (i.e. top academics, playing FSU, Miami, Clemson and Notre Dame every year and a trip to the Orange Bowl if they won the ACCCG). It waqs a great alternative to THE Big 10 and they stood out as far as a "marketing tool" to recruits in te Northeast as opposed to UCONN, Rutgers or Syracuse. Did it work? Well, not really. His hands were tied and the adminstration wanted a "safe" program....let's not get embarassed out there. We're good enough to go 8-4 if we build a crappy non conference schedule and we can rack up those Weedater Bowl trophies. The Hen and Spaz could recruit fellas, look at all the guys in the NFL today who were Hen products, including the second coming of Christ...Matty Ice. He and Deep Sea were just so bleeping borng and conservative, they would coach not to lose.

For a long time I thought the "bad guy" was the Hen. I am starting to think the "bad guy" is GDF. He wanted his own guy and the Hen knew it. He tried for the Washington job when Willingham got it and he obvioulsy jumped at the chance to get the NC state job. He stopped recruiting when he knew GDF didn't support him, and he stuck it up his ass big time by going to a divisonal rival. So the Hen leavesa on bad terms. Then Jags comes in with a bunch of flare...it seems now he wanted out almost as soon as he got there. He was a decent game day coach who didn't recruit. Or ws it that he didn't care because he realized quickly that the GDF is a prick and he, Jags wasn't long ofr the job, one way or another. So what does Jags do? He defies the godfathaw by interviewing for a job he knew he wouldn't get and knowing he would be fired because the arrogant one in Conte Forum drew a line inthe sand in the national media. He, GDF, was going to "make a statement". Was he making a statement or was he actually showing himslef to be a horse's ass. Any way Jags says "Screw you", takes the interview, gets fired and since there is nothing in his contract that says he would void his deal by interviewing ofr an NFL job (nice contract drafting Geno) BC now pays Jags for 2 more years. The coaching fraternity looks at this and says "no way am I working forthat guy". Whetehr we like it or not, that's the way that profession is at that level and GDF knows it better than anyone. So after a "national search" who do they end up with...the "loyal, safe hire" that GDF didn't think was good enough 2 years earlier. The man is 62 years ild and never ran a college peigram in his life. And here you are giving him the keys to the biggest revenue producer in the athletic office. There was no one better out there?? Sure there was, they just owuldn't go near the job because, IMHO, GDF would be the boss.

Hockey: The pope of college hockey is at BC and GDF is not stupid enough to go near it. It is the most successful program over there and GDF's fingerprints are no where on it. Chet the Jet brought Jerry back to BC. And Jerry....an old school BC guy, not a GDF dick head, is lapping the coaching field not only in his sport nationally, but by a 1000 miles with his colleagues at the Heights.

So as to coaching, I would say GDF gets a D.

Sports Marketing....BC is barley a blip ooutside of Chestnut Hill. If he scheduled better non conferencen games and say moved the BC-ND game ot Fenway Park once every 4 years as a tribute to the BC-Frank Leahy-ND connection, then you start building some excitement in the program and you reach out to the city. Look at how succesful the BC-BU Fenway thing was. The Sox wold go for it, especially if they payed the game in November...and they could do it if they wanted to. But NO...GDF says "I can't sell out Alumni" No you can't because you make it the most unattractive game day experience in the country. You sold out for afew bucks rather looking at the big picture. If you did the ND thinig once every 4 years at Fenway...played LSU, Alabama, USC, Nebraska or the like once every other year at Foxboro... you are marketing your program...play UConn and make a regional rivalry...no the ego gets in the way

Sports marketing...D

Scheduling opponents....Yawn!! D- in every program, not just football.

Revenue Stream.....they are hurting...C-

Public Relations.....Does anyone like BC other than BC alums and family/friends of Alums??...D

Overall, I give him a D+ as an AD. HE is the problem.


and this was my add on to that thread:

to quote Kelly, Walt, not Brian or me, 'we have met the enemy and he is us' rather it is GDF

Bernie nails it on every point, they couldn't sell out Flynn Fund parking for a year with ND, V Tech and Clemson on the schedule, WTF is it going to be like next year with Toby State and FSU the only good home games

GDF thinks he is at LSU or Bama where the locals throw $$$ at the programs, he has badly over estimated what the BC programs are between parking, Donor Based Seating and shitty marketing its a wonder we get any crowd at all

the biggest problem I see with the BCAA and esp the football program is that GDF knows who he thinks should be the Head Coach: HIMSELF at his core he is still the frustrated asst coach who got passed over for HC jobs and took another job track

to quote another great man, 'the fish rots from the head' Gene if the rotten, and rotting head

Not for nothing, but the Nag Hoops team is far from horrible. They have a Top 10 recruiting class coming in.

I hate Greasy Gene. I support all efforts to oust this smug little dwarf from our midst.

Greasy Gene should be played in BC Football: The Movie by the dickhead villain from the John Candy classic Summer Rental, Richard Crenna.

Yorku you're so pretty.

great casting call. sadly, he's been dead for 7 years

What about Ted Knight?

Also dead, but since we dig up corpses anyway that shouldn't stop us.

P and S: Myles Brand is still dead, for now.

[Endless Mike]

The actor that has always reminded me of Gene is Robert Forster from Jackie Brown and Heroes. I don't know how greasy he can get but he seems pretty smug. If he's not short they could bring Peter Jackson's company in to Hobbitize him for the film.




Who would play Jags? He'd have to have great teeth and be comfortable acting out all kinds of depraved sex scenes. And he would have to hate recruiting.

[BC '00]

I nominate Danny Woodburn to play Gene. I think if you get this guy to shave and throw a graying wig on him, he could be a perfect Gene. And he's got the acting chops to pull off the whole douchey-smug Gene attitude too.

[nada]

firetob.com didn't make TOB go. It was the money freeze on Tom and his staff. Congrats and thanks to NC State for hopefully making this obvious to the oblivious administration and trustees.

They all saw Flipper get a tickler up his leg then screw up with a jags hire. Then we all watched Coach Flip put his mug out there for all to see as there was success with TOB's recruits. All followed by the I don't wanna really be a college coach making AD Gene's tickler go limp, and he put on the jilted lover sad sack face on national TV. (That was a firing offense all by itself.) AD Gene then compounds his screw up by going for the matronly girl he knew, but no one else wanted.
