Good for Scott! I don’t blame him one bit.

Anyone see this?

Not speaking with the Team is poor taste but there seems to be a coaching history of this type of behavior at Louisville… John L Smith told his Louisville team he was leaving for MSU at halftime, Petrino had one foot out the door in what seemed to be every year… Satt flirting with USC and now this. Louisville just needs to accept they are a stepping stone

He had a meeting scheduled for today..... a leak messed it up !!!

Will anyone remember a year from now whether he told them or not? NOPE!

I doubt Deion will have great success at Colorado. His big speech to the team was about himself. And said “you won’t be wearing caps in the meeting rooms” and he is speaking in a meeting room and what does he have on? Sold out the HBCU after he was going to be their savior. Kept saying “I’m coming!” Big deal you already here. The word in the coaching circles is that he is a good recruiter but not a great coach. At that level, you better know how to coach.

Saban told the Bama players he inherited he was going to run most of them off.

Orgeron challenged the Ole Miss players who were said about Cutcliff being fired to fight him right there on the spot and ripped his shirt off.

Harbaugh screamed obscenities at returning players and told them they were replacable.

Can't remember the coach, but he made the returning players stand up and said "you got the last guy fired, and that's not going to be me."

Prime is giving a standard an intro coach speech to a team that's hiring because they fired the previous guy. Especially to a team that went 1-11.

Maybe you're right but he's gonna need a lot more than a dozen or so Jackson St. players to win in the Pac-12 at Colorado, even after USC and UCLA leave. They are not 'Bama, Ole Miss, or Michigan. I'm all for challenging the players to step it up or get out but I'm not a fan of Neon Deon.

I watched some of his video speech to the team (why they felt the need to post that is beyond me)- I mean I know why but still. Other than saying they have been an embarrassment and "I'm coming" 100 times it was a load of crap. While the reality is that the team probably has guys who need to move on if he honestly thinks he can bring in a bunch of FCS level players and magically turn a PAC 12 team into a big winner he's nuts. Those colorful and cool speeches only goes so far. Let's see if he can put a staff together and actually win games. He was a great player and actually did some cool stuff with my Reds but this is a whole new deal. If he can convince higher level players to come to Colorado maybe.

Just depends on how much he can pay the players he needs. The speech brought back memories. I kept expecting to hear " Yes Drill Sergeant"! He even stole a line " Your girl will be up in the stands with another guy" very close to your girl will be back home with Jody. Even had other DIs around the room to make comments. 100% basic training.

No matter how it's done, rarely does a coach leaving for another job go well publicly
- they either initially deny, and then are called a liar later
- if they express interest and are open about it, they are criticized as using their current team as a stepping stone; they lose that team
- if they tell them in tell, the team turns on them (see Brian Kelly trying to sell his move to his ND players?)
- if it leaks, all heck breaks loose
- if it's completely out of the blue and unexpected, fans feel betrayed

There's no good way to do this usually....this doesn't happen in my job. My business isn't open for the entire world, I don't have media asking me about what I'm going to do. I can privately look for a better opportunity and no one knows until I find it, and if I stay no ne knows I ever was looking in the first place. It's unique to sports. Many here got plenty pissed at Satt for leaving App; and Drink....woulda have been pissed at Clarke for leaving but he's not winning so now we want him gone. Coaches walk a razor's edge and they have to look out for themselves because fans and this business is fickle.
