Are you referring to Wojcik?

nope can't think of any. now if eddie gets fired out at san fran after winning only 2 games then comes back and replaces sean.......hmmm

in the interest of fairness, the current UCLA coach was booted from Washington, not CU. Not that it matters. Most coaches who go on & do a decent job at their next stop resign, before they can get fired.

The Florida Directional job is better than the Notre Dame job?

Stop it.

World Picker,

Your point is pointless, as usual. Your premise sounds like an excuse to continue to criticize coaches who make more money than you do. Sounds like you have a bad case of contract envy.

What is a "better job" anyway?

Getting fired and still being paid (until you get another job, maybe, depending on the package) for doing nothing except appearing on tv once in a while could be a much "better job" than the one you got fired from; er, I mean 'from which you got fired.'

How do you rate Steve Spurrier? Florida-NFL-South Carolina. Think he is complaining? Head coach at South Carolina not a 'better job' than head coach at Washington Redskins? Who is to say, other than Spurrier.

Anyway, how would you know unless you have been fired from a good job to begin with. Obviously, you don't know. You don't have a good job, don't do a good job and you haven't been fired. Yet.

Win after three years or get fired? You've been at your job for decades and should have been fired years ago.
But, I guess that is why you don't get the big bucks since you don't have to perform like the coaches you are constantly criticizing.

You are one of those who never actually steps into the arena and so you can say you never "lost."

Your insight into college football recruiting has led you to the conclusion that a head coach should work hard to recruit an athlete (it's part of his job) then announce to the world the athlete isn't really who he wanted in the first place.
Brilliant.

Any thoughts on Pettigrew's felony charges?
Didn't think so.

Nit Picker: You have always been boring, uncreative, a simple obsessive groupie, and a terrible, terrible writer.

Oklahoma State is a better job than Kentucky?

Texas A&M is a better job than Alabama?

Now you're embarassing.

Your examples weren't fired for losing, which was the premise of the question.

You are the worst observer of sports in the history of jealousy.

Nit Picker:

Choose someone who is fired, not resigned.

JJ: Agreed.

This whole business might be simpler than many make it.

Give a coach three years. Over that period of time, luck, injuries, flunk-outs, all of that can run its course. After three years, a pretty reflective record will have been made. And if a school fires a coach who had a lousy three-year record, you won't have to worry about a competitor hiring him or her.

World Picker:

Yes, and yes; as far as you know aTm is a better job than Alabama and OSU is a better job than Kentucky. Only Sutton and Francione can say for sure which is the "better job". You have no clue and have no way of knowing.

So much for your insight. You should be embarassed.

You are wrong: Sutton would have been fired for losing and so would Francione. They left because they knew it. Otherwise, why leave a "better job" at Alabama for aTm? or why leave a "better job" at Kentucky for OSU?
You are playing games and trying to deflect criticism by claiming those folks left for any reason other than not winning.

True, not all schools would have fired them for the loses they had, but who is to say how many losses are acceptable, other than the school itself. It is subjective, just as your premise.

Switzer? yeah, he had other more compelling reasons for being fired. I will give you that one.

As for the rest of them, you can whine all you want, but you should know it makes you appear to be a real poor loser.

Yeah, I am jealous of a second rate fan bigot in Tulsa, OK. Right. For sure. Absolutely.

You can't even make a cogent argument to defend your position. Maybe because your position is indefensible.

Obsessive groupie? Moi? I can chew you up and spit you out before breakfast, still have time to play 18, clip some coupons, handicap five races, work out at the gym, ponder the lunch menu at the club, plan a safari and pick your arguments apart. Leaves my afternoons free.

What? Me jealous? Get serious.

JJ;

He may have lost only 2 games, but that was 2 games to many for the 'Bama faithful (who were salivating for a NC contender) and he was made aware via the boosters that he would be wise to find another job to avoid being fired.

Resigning under fire at Alabama and getting hired at aTm, such as Fran did, fits World Pickers premise. (Shrouded LLama has pointed out another one: Ron Zook).

aTm may have given Fran too much time. Nonetheless, one cannot say the HC job at Alabama is a "better job" than the HC job at
aTm. It is totally subjective. aTm has one of the strongest, wealthiest group of alumni supporters in college football and will support the head coach.
As for being successful? He beat Texas, twice if I recall. That is successful in the eyes of a lot of aTm fans. He made a lot of money. Many measure that as success.

To Eddie Sutton the OSU BB HC job was likely better than the UK BB HC job he left. As for winning more games, not sure if he did or not. But, he certainly can't be called unsuccessful at OSU. (the UK BB HC job is not what it once was).

Bottom line, World Picker's point is pointless and subjective. World Picker can't even make an argument in support of his point.
His best shot is to make personal attacks on those who dare to point out his lack of objectivity and call his hand on some of his incompetence.

World Picker is obsessed with successful football programs and their coaches. He dwells on the subjective negatives and ignores any objective positves. It is his pattern. Maybe he is jealous of anyone who is successful in sports. Only his shrink really knows.

Picker,

Can you please write a blog about whether the Oklahoma men's basketball coach should be fired? I guess by your policy he has one more year. He better beg Blake "Gorilla" Griffin in stay one more year.

Thanks

Zach:

I see you do have some thoughts.

They appear to be the thoughts of a steroid enraged sports wannabe redneck dropout, but, thoughts just the same.

You are either obsessed with both the World Picker and me, or you are an ADD inflicted adolescent with a precocious dark side. Either way, you really need to see your shrink. Soon.

Isn't it a bit odd that a you note who is on here commenting so much and yet you are the one to imply I am commenting to much? Does it follow you are reading the comments on here too much?

The World Picker kick my ass? Oh, my. I am terrified.

Cool off Zach, its just a blog.

So you don't worry, I eat right, exercise regularly, get quarterly check-ups and only drink in moderation.
Yes, I played sports. Still do, some. Age does take a toll, though. And you, jock boy?

Picking on punks like you is just a form of amusement. Actually, I always wanted to be a matador.

Come on World Picker, your traps are making NITWITTER/NITPICKER look foolish. He's like the little rat holed up in the wall waiting for you to bait the trap. Maybe you should ease up on the little guy. NOT!!!
