New Coaching Hires: Update
With so many teams kickin’ their coaches to the curb this year, athletic directors across the country are in a frenzy to do one of two things:
- Convince an awesome coach to come coach for their team.
- Convince their awesome coach not to leave.
I can just hear the talks going on. They all sound like used car salesmen. “You aren’t going to find a better opportunity that this. Teams like this only come around once in a lifetime. COACH NOW! No iterest until January 2010!”
Some teams have already made their hires, so their athletic departments can breathe easy:
Arkansas: Boby Petrino
Baylor: Art Briles
Georgia Tech: Paul Johnson
Mississippi: Houston Nutt
Navy: Ken Niumatalolo
Nebraska: Bo Pelini
Texas A&M: Mike Sherman
Washington State: Paul Wulff
It may be interesting to you to note that just one of these new hires is a minority. To me, I couldn’t care less. Black, white, yellow, red, purple…it doesn’t matter what color your skin is. All that matters is how well you can coach. The best man should be picked for the job every time, regardless of pressure to choose a minority.
