  1. All things considered, Sark's biggest problem seems to be that he still chases Coordinator Glory.

    Until he realizes that he's pursuing a subjective title (Best OC) and changes to the objectivity of full-spectrum Scoreboard Dominance, we're almost certainly going to continue to see a couple of WTF performances every season.

    Court Jester was pretty funny, and a couple of good-looking women in Glynis Johns and Angela Lansbury (yeah, she was younger once). Personally, I laughed at Danny Kaye in several movies, and The Inspector General was a lot funnier. The "pocketa-pocketa-pocketa" in Secret Life of Waler Mitty was straight outta the book - I still hear it anytime Danny shows up on a screen...

    I'm pulling this out my ass, but I'm pretty sure head coaches and been suspended or re-assigned without being fired before, within an athletic department, while essentially being fired later. That was awhile back, so maybe contract language has changed/mitigated that, over time. 

    I've not encountered it anywhere, so I figured it doesn't happen. But, damn, it seems like a pretty obvious method of getting into a situation where a school can ditch a coach and put him into a position of being amenable to a negotiated exit.

  4. I've asked, but never seen an answer, whether coaching contracts do or might contain language allowing the school to assign the head coach to another position (keeping the salary, of course) and/or to assign another person to a position of authority over the head coach?

    I mean, you know, like like like, you know, not "you're fired" but like "you aren't running the team any more, asswipe, go stand over there and keep your mouth shut."

    Somewhere in the Contracts there are clauses relating to insubordinate behavior...no? Probably within a page or two of the Morality clauses?'

    Orgeron won because he caught lightning in a bottle with Burrow as QB and Brady as OC. 

    Kelly couldn't catch a bottle full of lightning if it hit him in the hands.

    Super unlikely that garden-variety birddogging rises to this level, especially if they didn’t invoke it when they canned him. A court won’t look kindly on using the thread of invoking it after the fact to negotiate your buyout down. If he violated the clause, they should have said so and terminated him for that reason. 

     

    Be fair: Thread of Invoking is a decent band name, especially in Luzyanna, although probably better used in Voudon contexts.

  7. I've got a bit of optimism. I think we can win, but it'll take errybody playing well, not another one where offense or defense or specials fuck up and the other two carry the load and prevail. If all three play well, we win. Any one of them establishes pooch-screwing, and we likely lose... two eat shit and we definitely take the L.

    Bottom line: there are multiple scenarios that end with a W for the Good Guys, and I won't be surprised at either outcome.

    seems like CBS, Fox, and NBC might have something to say about that.

    Something like "awwwww, shit"? It's not what they could say, rather what yje could actually do about it.

    That could be the holdup on the purchase. Mouse already basically owns SEC. Would be interesting to see the effect if CBS et al quit carrying SEC games.

    Maybe there's some relationship between broadcast and network...

    I have been in the PNW and seen 40's and pouring rain in the summer.

    Can confirm. Had a client in Eugene and spent some time there one summer, guys who sold tennis shoes or something. It was cool to coldish and wet, with lots of trees  dripping on everything. They claimed there was a sun somewhere on the other side of the trees, but I never saw it.

    ... defender is stopping him from running his route.

     

    Yes, he is... well, trying to, any road. Defender is not required to get out of his way. It matters how he got there, but the clip doesn't show that. From what we can see, the defender is back-pedalling and looking back, and the receiver pushes him over backwards.
