Where is the Outrage (Part II)??!!!

This came in from a couple of fellow Vermin...

"Hitselberger and I were talking last night that the media frenzy over Ty-Gate seems to suggest there is 1 standard regarding coaching decisions that 116 Div 1A teams are held to, then the ND standard. Here's something that SHOULD be treated as outrageous but, of course, won't be. Found this buried in a brief blurb, page 4 of the Colo Spgs Gazette Sports Section:

Southern Cal Athletic Director Mike Garrett, commenting on his firing yesterday of head basketball coach Mike Bibby Monday, 4 games into the season:

"We haven't won in two years. I thought, 'Let's makethe move to fire him.' It was just a gut feeling."

Garrett, apparently not much of a poker player, latercommented "Rick Majerus is a name we're looking at," for a replacement, even though he just named a USC assistant to be interim coach for the rest of the year(guess that guy's not a candidate. By the way – anyone bother to tell Rick he IS a candidate?

[story: USC Fires Bibby]

Morals of the story, how the AD/school should act whenfiring your coach: Don't praise your outgoing coach in any way. Make decisions based on a whim (heads he stays, tails he goes). Blame the coach for everything. Pick the most ridiculous time you can find to let him go (see also Ron Zook - Florida's a media darling for using that trick). Use the word "fire" during your press conference to humiliate your
ex-coach as much as possible. Name your desired replacement DURING the press conference where you just kicked your other coach in the ass on his way out. Suggest the ONLY thing you care about is wins (who cares about that Sunday through Friday stuff).

Gee, I can see now where we screwed up, where we're such a bunch of class-less, moral-less, unprofessionals, where we're now the WORST place for a college coach to work according to know-it-all journalists. Maybe if we just did things like other schools ALL THE TIME, we wouldn't take so much heat."
