agreed finch. Cowtown, let me clarify. Leaving for a better job or pushing for more money during the offseason is fine, nature of the beast, that's how all coaches are hired. Leaving in the middle of the season, without talking to your players because you failed miserably and are quiting. That's sorry. Well, last I looked Ole Miss still had a game to play this year plus Nutt should be in the middle of recruiting. I wonder if he is upfront with those players and their families on his future plans? As far as leaving for a better job; I read somewhere that a great football mind questioned whether Kansas was a better job than Ole Miss. Now where did I see that? weird. Why would anyone rather coach at Kansas than Ole Miss? Oh yeah! |

If you don't see the difference in leaving after a college football season before a bowl game that is a month away, and leaving during the middle of an NFL season with a month of games left, then I don't think I can help you.
I think he's just trying to get paid. Maybe he doesn't like Ole miss, maybe they are about to fire him. For whatever reason, he has expressed some interest that this job might be better for him.

and if you don't recognize the difference between leaving a group of grown men that play PROFESSIONAL football and lying to high school kids and their families about facts that are used to determine one of the most important decisions of their life...then I can't help you.
and as far as ole Houston just trying to get paid; I'd say he should give money back to Ole Miss for taking a team that was ranked #4 preseason and leading them to out of the top 25 status by the end of the year.

He lies no more than any coach in the country. Your beloved bobby petrino is a liar, too.
Also, whether they are grown men or not is irrellevant. It was sorry. You cannot defend what he did. You can forgive it, but there is no defense to what he did.

I don't want to defend it. I want to see Nutt held up to the same standard that ESPN held Petrino. I want ESPN's analyst to go on the air and tell recruits to not play for Houston Nutt, just like they did to Bobby Petrino and Arkansas.
Of course, Ole MIss is not owned by Home Depot the official sponsor of College Gameday like the Atlanta Falcons.

I don't think that had anything to do with it. What petrino did was hugely public and shockingly sorry.
What Nutt is doing is the same thing Petrino, Meyer, Miles, Bowden (did), Shannon, Saban, and most every coach in America does.

Brian Kelly is hired by Notre Dame.
Coach leaves big east for Big Name Northern School weeks before the biggest game of their current program's history= it's the coaching cycle, its a revolution baby.
Coach leaves shitty nfl team three weeks short of having the number 3 pick in the draft to go to SEC school= How dare that bastard!

looks like you are finally getting it. What took so long.
Brian Kelly never once said he wasn't going to ND. He was honest, told his kids face to face in a timely manner. Is that What Petrino did?

I don't think I have ever seen someone so loyal to a coach who has yet to accomplish anything at their school.

looks like you are finally getting it. What took so long. Brian Kelly never once said he wasn't going to ND. He was honest, told his kids face to face in a timely manner. Is that What Petrino did? The Cincy players don't seem to think Kelly was so up front about it. The players had off this week to take final exams. They spent a big part of it talking and texting each other about all the rumors involving Kelly. How they finally got the news left some of them bitter. Kelly's hiring by Notre Dame had already been reported for several hours when he finally took them aside after their football banquet at a downtown hotel and told them the news on Thursday night.
It's not how he had told them he would handle it.
"He told us from the get-go that we'd be the first people to know whatever he decides,'' quarterback Tony Pike said before the banquet.
Instead, they were among the last.
Receiver Mardy Gilyard, who was honored as the team's Most Valuable Player, said younger players were angry over Kelly's decision to leave after only three years at Cincinnati.
"They feel they bought into a situation they were going to be in for the long haul, and now the general kind of let the reins go,'' Gilyard said. "It is what it is. I'm old enough to know it's a business move. If I was a younger guy, I'd be bummed out about it.''
Several players said there was silence as Kelly told them in an unemotional tone that he was leaving for Notre Dame. Then, the assistant coaches left the room and the players met by themselves.
sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/ncaa/wires/12/11/2060.ap.fbc.t25.cincinnati.moving.on.1st.ld.writethru.0901/Once again, I don't disagree with anything Kelly or any other coach does when changing jobs. I'd just like a little more consistency with the media coverage from the world wide leader. |
