My favorite...
Hopefully it’s just for vetting. That list of coaches Blauds listed is completely uninspired.

Kraft did not fire Jimmy Mac because he wanted to get a jump on the hiring season. He made the midseason change for reasons ADs make midseason changes (which usually has nothing to do with wins-and-losses). I think you should read a lot into the Tabbs expulsion and the program being paused... both which occurred on the same day of the termination.

finger on the modern pulse of college basketball yet again, nospace. it's likely a good reference though, because there has been no evidence of well-coached (x's and o's) teams making a final 4 run over more athletic and higher "ranked" players since marcus camby was being paid like like he was a lottery pick that had already taken his place with the raptors

I didn't say he was a good kid and played by the rules. I am only saying he almost got it done.
Do you want to win or not? This is your alma mater not mine. I would love it if Coen could recruit the next Reggie Lewis and would be very forgiving if it was not all on the up-and-up.

my point was not the cheating, my point was that this was 25 years ago. since then, there have been "ensemble" teams that advanced based on x's and o's instead of an elite plater or 3.
bc will never be the elite/5 star recruiting home - therefore we need to find a coach that can recruit but that also can coach. skinner could do both (thanks to his assistants), beeker and mac could not. it showed
i'm also realistic that the days of matt ryan are the best this school will ever do in football and the days of smith/dudley/towlie/birdman are in a tie with the troy bell years as the best this basketball team will ever do.
thank goodness we have hockey and sailing
TobaccoRoadEagle {l Wrote}:yes - ever to excel is the motto of the college (because it doesn't have an engineering school). it's not a realistic motto of the collegiate teams that play in the the minor league sports leagues with their amateur syayus in spite of 80-% - 90% of the competitors choosing to go pro... especially with montgomery c. leahy pinching pennies in the corner office
so i've accepted my alma mater will never rise above the level of meatballs in athletic performance. i don't like it but i recognize it's the truth. may, every some-odd years, the football program can rise to the level of the second half of stripes, but i know better than to expect that they'll rise to the level of the first half of stripes
