How does he react when players who aren’t “his guys” drop five in a row vs. FBS next year when Tennessee plays its at Oregon, at Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, at Alabama stretch?

are you fucking kidding me? that's brutal.

Remember Syracuse ruined the Big East when Miami was brought in to prevent them fleeing to the Big Ten for football purposes. The same is happening with the ACC. Duke is not going to be pleased when they get fucked because Syracuse pursued football in a misguided way yet again. It couldn’t be more obvious the ACC will be left holding the bag when the four football super-conference model comes to pass.

HTownHacker, I think I’m the only one happier than you about BC’s plight. Those cocksuckers blocked UConn to the ACC on several occasions b/c they know UConn is the real owner of New England. Syracuse and Pitt have now done the same. Scared and pathetic.

Jags absolutely had to go on that Jets interview though. The way BC handled that was laughable. They are a stepping stone program and always will be and they’ve paid the price for it gravely ever since with terrible recruiting classes and inept coaching by Spaziani.

Lacking for a college job, absolutely.
I think the Tampa/Dungy players argument could be made that the team he beat was made with his players and system too.

Yep and yep.

I could understand a pro team going after him, but I don’t get a college program that doesn’t have unlimited resources going after him. At all.

I don’t think BC’s leaving caused some sort of domino effect (not affect). Just playing “what if”… Tipping point and all of that sort of thing.

The conference makeup is just untenable in this football dominant era. I suppose it was just a matter of when, and not if, but as a PC basketball fanatic I’ve clung unreasonably to the hope that the conference could be salvaged.

Gruden’s a fraud.
How so?

As a TV commentator, he is definitely a fraud.

Recent MNF game:

Gruden to Tirico: “Kendall Hunter, he never gets tackled for negative yardage!”

Next play, handoff to Hunter, who is tackled in the backfield for a 3-yard loss.

A lot of people would argue he won a title with Dungy’s players and has no relevant college experience, so his resume for an alleged big time college job is somewhat lacking.

He can demand outlandish terms to return to real work

Wait, we talkin’ about Phil Jackson now?

Htown, as best as I can gather the Big East started its slope towards it’s present and continuously evolving position when the basketball AD’s, who at the time formed the majority of the conference, shit all over the TV deal presented to them, thinking they could do better. In the meantime the conferences fortunes have erode considerably and a lot of those schools are looking for ways into other conferences.

I must admit it brings me much glee to see the depths to which the BC athletic department has fallen. Would their fortunes and/or the Big East’s fortunes be any different had they never left? We’ll never know, I guess.

And then they were left with Spaziani. Not the smartest move, in hindsight.

Another example of when “Keeping it Real” goes horribly wrong.

True, but the brass at BC did make tremendous asses of themselves in the process. It would behoove an ambitious coach to never take a job there.

UT’s in a tough posistion as they’re gonna have to crawl out of the cellar against revitalized UF, UGa, and SC. It’s doable, but the Dooley hire set them well behind those schools.

I am usually relatively pro-Stern, but this Spurs thing is beyond ridiculous.
