2012 Coaching Carousel Catch All Thread

CrimsonBeachBum said:
My wife is a Southern Miss alum and tries to keep her finger on the pulse of the program as best she can. She says that there's a lot of angry alum, fans and boosters calling for EJ's head - and with good reason. How do you take over a program and a team that finished with 12 wins the previous year and be completely winless the next?

Southern Miss never should have fired Jeff Bower.

Colorado firing Embree seems to have sparked the African American hiring talk again. I don't think it had anything to do with it he won 4 games in 2 years and got blown out in alot of those games. I'll say what I've always said don't care if your purple if you can coach it wouldn't matter.

Strong is a good coach, Sumlin seems to be a good coach, Franklin seems to be a good coach, Shaw is a good coach, even that Kent State coach Hazell(sp?) is doing a good job. Taggert is a good coach as well and will probably make a move soon at a higher profile school.
 
Re: The Right Man for Auburn - Coach Ed Generro

We're not completely there yet on minority hiring in the college coaching ranks but I think it speaks volumes that John Embree and Joker Phillips can be fired without anyone throwing the race card around. Let everyone be judged on their accomplishments or in this case, lack thereof.

The point Embree was making was not that he was fired because of his race, but that black head coaches who get fired are less likely to get re-hired as a head coach than a fired white head coach. He mentioned Ty Willingham as an example of the only black head coach who actually did get another shot.

I saw one of the talking heads, Brady Ackerman I think, on SEC on CSS here in Atlanta point out that he thought Hudspeth from ULM would emerge as a front runner for the job at the Barn

Any thoughts?

Wasn't Willingham at Stanford, Notre Dame, and Washington? seems like a bad choice to single out.

Sorry, I said it wrong. Embree stated that Willingham was the one example he could think of who DID get another shot at being a HC.
 
Re: The Right Man for Auburn - Coach Ed Generro

Trooper Taylor should be named APIMhead coach today.,who else is more All In, More Fambly. So what he waves a towel & wears his cap backwards? Clearly he is qualified.

If he is not hired/promoted the Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, President Obama & more importantly Charles Barkley should call out API.

Thats only fair.

Charles said on that NBA show he is on that they should hire Petrino but they never listen to him that's why the are up a creek without a paddle now! LMAO

Some of their sites call it a Done Deal approved by Mike Slime to be announced Sunday with TT & BVG staying. Unreal.

I always thought Ty got a raw deal at Notre Dame (another reason I'll never root for them). Weiss won with the guys that Willingham recruited. So Ty never got to cook with his own groceries.

In fairness, though, Willingham DID get another job at Washington right after ND and it ended horribly. And for anyone interested, Willingham (who is much older than he looks) is now the women's golf coach at Stanford

Mack, I fixed my original post. I botched it the first time - Embree said Ty was the only black head coach who DID get a second shot.
 
Thought the miles rumor was crap then saw its being circulated by sports by brooks and had my suspicions confirmed. Why anyone would trust that guy is beyond me
