You can't justify that it's no big deal happens all the time. Those days are long gone and rightly so. Some of these kids are big enough to break him in two and now a little class action law suit against him and the school for emotional scaring. It's as good as any.
Man everybody taking shots at the gophers! Like I said before pretty sure Teague and Ellis know what their doing. Next gophers coach is msu assistant Dwayne Stephens.
Really? They are in different leagues...Texas Tech is 16-68 in the last 5 seasons in the big 12 and now they are getting a 61 year old coach.
The national perception of the tubby firing+ the current search is hilarious. Shaka and B Stevens turned them down. The AD offered Flip Saunders the job under circumstances he could never accept and he did this to appease the boosters/fan base (genius move). Other then that there hasnt been any movement other then a few phone calls. Thursday the MSU asst will be announced as the new HC.
Minny is in much better shape right now than Texas Tech, so even with Tubby heading to Lubbock, I'd still like Minnesota's chances in that matchup.
I agree on both accounts.
I can't speak to NW situation but it was a no brainer for gophers to fire tubby. Not only was terrible with in game coaching he got pretty much nothing out of Ralph Sampson and Rodney Williams and Justin Cobb and devoe Joseph transferred and became stars in other places. The only thing tubby could do was recruit. But when u have 3 guys transfer (Royce white as well but hard to blame that on tubby I guess) that's pretty tough to swallow. He lost the fan base and boosters this year and minnesota has 2 of the top 6 national recruits in 2014 and number 40 as well and we were not going to get any of them if tubby stayed.
Oh forgot about Colton iverson as well. That's 4 guys who transferred who became top players in their conference. What a joke something is wrong there.
No doubt. Bye Bye boys !!
What is a coach possibly doing that "puts to shame" chucking balls at players heads, physically grabbing them/pushing them, calling them every derogatory name in the book, etc? Also, it might have been considered acceptable stuff a generation or two ago, but sorta stuff isn't going to fly at many places in 2012.
To clarify just in case you think I was saying it was no big deal, I wasn't. I think it's awful. I was attempting to make fun of kass a bit because I could see him saying something like this.
President of RU needs to go as well. How in the fuck can somebody look at that tape and say, "oh let's see, three or four games suspension is enough to unring this bell"?!?!
The sad thing is, if not for ESPN, dude is still out there recruiting today.
i agree. its amazing that administrations think they can get away with this stuff post Penn State. Take your medicine and do the right thing the first time.
Agreed, although I will say that I would love to see him get a job in the NBA where they would just beat his ass. Good luck throwing balls at and kicking Lebron, Birdman, etc.
Wrong answer, again.
Looks like it's gonna be little Ricky P. trying to hang with the big guns of the B1G. And a big ol' LOL at thinking that Minny's homegrown top 5 recruits are staying in-state. Better come up with some hefty-ass envelopes full of ca$h to make that happen.
