Re: Coaches getting axed thread

At least TN has some ethics - as opposed to Ohio State with Tressel.

Funny the sweet sixteen bracket we were in last year has all kinds of issues with coaching (not all basketball) - Tennessee, Michigan State & Ohio State (football). And then there is UNI, where the biggest controversies are if someone else swipes any of our coaches.

Referencing Skelator's supposed flirtation with Ball State, Kyle Greene to UW Green Bay, and Jake's name floated as the latest "hot young coach".

I think Green or Hogan will be gone before Jake. Sad thing is, I would love either one if Jake were to leave. PJ Hogan has a head coach written all over him. Though he is a bit more...vocal...than Jake

Oh, c'mon!! Tennessee is more ethical than OSU? Neither of these programs is "ethical". OSU at least suspended their coach -- the SEC had to jump in and suspend Pearl. Tenn knew about this in September and it took until after the season for them to make a decision -- and if they had made a deep run he'd still be the coach. They fired the guy because it was clear the players and program were wilting under the pressure and flat out quit in the last game.

If OSU wasn't winning B10 titles and playing in BCS games every year I can guarantee you OSU would fire Tressel and therefore fall under your definition of "ethical".

I guarantee you if Tennessee had a better season and a little more success in the past few years, Pearl would still be employed.

The only reason Tressel was suspended is because of the national attention it got.

Tressel played the ENTIRE FREAKING SEASON knowing 5 star players were ineligible to play. Ohio State also gave the players the "You can play in the Sugar Bowl if you promise to come back and sit out the first 5 games of next year which include 4 games where you would likely play a half at most"

Dude... do you think I consider OSU ethical? Not at all. But to think Tenn is somehow more ethical is laughable. They're both guilty -- as are a majority of BCS programs out there.
