NUpolo8 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Okay...back to me sweet topic... Just like every coach that gets hired at a new school always says "It is an honor to be at school X...the greatest school ever" (BS) I think it is totally okay for them, afterwards when they get canned to do some badmouthing...I think it is normal...I think it is human. As someone who hires and fires people, have done previous employer calls and asked people how they liked their previous job, I recommend you do not do what teach is saying. 2 Quote Link to comment

grandpasknee Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 "I always maintain a strong contact with all the guys I recruit" - Vince Marrow Seriously though you cannot expect guys to 'put on the happy face" after having your whole life get blindsided. You suddenly get to find a new job, find a new house, maybe spouse has to find new job, kids get pulled from school, oh and walk around work with a smile and resisting the urge to let your feelings show. There's being "professional" and being robotic. except for Bo, no one truly got fired, they were just replaced by a whole new regime brought in by the new coach....who has a new philosophy. Mr Kaz: "Honey, I got "replaced" today. Mrs. Kaz: "Oh good, for a moment I thought you got fired" Um.....not! Replaced = Fired Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 From the reported actions of Coach Kaz, she pretty much knew as soon as he did. Very little question IMHO. lol They are still interviewing for a job, and I think they get paid through their contracted time. Not quite like getting fired with two weeks severance pay. They make very good money when working. Not much sympathy on my part for any of them, be it at Nebraska or any power 5 program. Feel sorry for the kids, changing schools, leaving friends. But being military I saw it every single day with staff NCO's and field grade Officers. They will land on their feet is my guess. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Stop thinking of coaching like your job. Its not. Coaches know going in that sooner or later, there will be a job change, a head coach will leave or get fired, it goes with the territory, and any coach will admit as such. Badmouthing the school in any capacity though is a bad idea. That kinda thing gets around, and shows a serious lack of professionalism. And can impact getting another job in the future, particularly if you are not elite at your job. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 One thing here, I have been coaching for a long long time...and trust me when I say this...coaches rip on other schools, AD's, principals, coaches and parents...ALL THE TIME. Most of it is actually really funny! Quote Link to comment

skersfan Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just what I read on this site, he turned loose, a F laced tirade at a restaurant Sunday morning when told Bo had been fired. His wife and family was with him. As I recall it was not pointed at the University, but more of he had screwed up by staying instead of going to the NFL. My comment was more in jest about his wife not knowing. 1 Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Rumor has it that this occurred at the same place Tressel was spotted and Bielema was flown in for his interview. 1 Quote Link to comment
