He 100% had the resume, no question. That is a different question than if he would've been successful or if we as a fan base would've been happy with the hire, but he was more than qualified. He had 12 years' of coordinator experience at a top 5 school in the country and was DC for 3 national...

lolwut He wasn't qualified in 2021, but you wanted him hired 8 years prior to that? K.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but no one is entitled to their own facts. Your issue with it seems to be "lack of experience," which has been demonstrated to be factually wrong. Also, you didn't just "merely state" that you didn't think it was going to happen, you laughed it off as...

What are you even talking about? When Goodell became commissioner, he had 24 years of experience in the NFL, which is the only place he has ever worked. Warren right now has 22 years of experience in the NFL, not including his experience as an attorney and agent representing NFL players, nor his...

Right, so perhaps direct your comment to the simpleton posting on the basketball board with anti-vax rhetoric in his signature line.

I just noticed your signature line. You're an anti-vaxxer, so not only do you have a persecution complex, you also have no brains. Feel free to continue arguing with yourself in this thread, as I won't be responding. I took it for granted that I wasn't having a conversation with a complete...

Your entire premise is factually wrong. Other schools have been punished as badly or worse. It has nothing to do with "courageousness" or whatever garbage you want to spout, that's your false bravado talking. There's nothing to agree or disagree with, your comments are factually wrong and it's...

Of course there is. You are a member of the NCAA, and if the NCAA says you're no longer a member, you aren't. We don't accept their punishment, we're no longer a member of the NCAA. Who are we going to play? Ourselves? Join the NAIA? Good luck staying in the Big Ten while you're in the...

I mean, no. There are many schools who have suffered that level of punishment or worse. Also, the fans aren't being "punished" in any way. If you don't want to follow the teams, find something else to do. No one's holding a gun to your head.

"Everybody's doing it, so we shouldn't get in trouble for doing it too" is also a piss-poor defense, particularly when everybody is indeed not engaging in coordinated severe academic fraud.

What Clem and others did was horrifically beyond "2 over" - good effort, though.

Nah, doesn't impact that either way. Early enrollees were a thing for years before the early signing day.

Utah 5-0 in the Pac-12. We didn't want Craig Smith, though.

Texas has made one, so they have one more, but yeah, it's close.

We will never know either way, because it makes Coyle look bad regardless (if he did, WTF?!?!; and if he didn't, he's being overruled by his bosses and looks weak) but I refuse to believe this was his decision. It's a horrifically bad hire for an experienced big time AD and is so out of...

That I agree with, and is what you should have said in the first place. It's weird that you chose Ewing as your example, given that alums are given preferential treatment in coaching hires all the time and it would be difficult for the two to be more dissimilar. Ewing was an obvious hire on...

The Pitino hire, on paper, was terrible. The funny thing is that the Johnson hire makes the Pitino hire look like a stroke of genius. This program finds new and inventive ways to raise the bar on awful decision-making. I hope to Christ, Allah, your higher power of choice that the rumors of...

When Ewing gets fired, probably this year, he will unquestionably be an assistant in the NBA next year if he wants to be. When Johnson gets fired (should be this year but will probably be in 2-3 years) he will...maybe be an assistant in the Sun Belt?

Howard is a closer comparison to Ewing for sure. Both were very good college and pro players and had NBA assistant experience. The points that Bad seems to be forgetting are that Ewing is in the HOF, is the best player in Georgetown history, is widely considered to be one of the best players...

Ewing was hired because he's an eminently qualified alumnus. When they hired Johnson, they ignored everything before "alumnus." Ewing is turning out to be a dud, but on paper he more than deserved the opportunity. Johnson didn't and doesn't. He couldn't get hired for a head coaching job in the...
