I think a lot of people are missing the point. The article indicates that the complaints came from the most recent group of players not a long history of complaints that were never brought forth. He only had two grievances on his record. This was just an opportunity to get rid of a coach that is probably behind the times (sound familiar). Did he do inappropriate things. Likely. But he is getting full pay because the University cannot withstand another lawsuit and they know they don’t have enough to stand on.
Where in my post did I compare Pitino to Ecarma?? I was comparing Denny Crum’s firing to Ecarma. Get with it!
I must be getting really old because this is the what the thread title made me think of.
Unfortunately, I remember both of them. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of '60s music sucked.
The video has an Austin Powers feel to me. And that cool dress/suit that Petula is wearing could be mistaken for the flag of New Mexico.
I can’t argue with anything you said. I for One was screaming at the TV for John L to go into max protect to save Ragone’s brain in the 2nd half of that game and actually didn’t care if we won or lost. I still don’t like JLS because of it. With Teddy, it was, ‘the only chance of getting to the Sugar Bowl’ was propping him up and putting him in the game in the 2nd half and making sure nobody touched him and they protected him beautifully. It was an incredible scene.
Let’s see 29 years assuming 12 players on a roster = 348. So 22 or approximately 6% had a beef with Rex. If the previous players didn’t come forward that’s on them. We’re not talking about physical abuse. Maybe these players didn’t live up to their own hype or their parents, they’re looking for someone to blame. They don’t get any credit from me. Look, I know what happened. It’s ok to move on but don’t try to justify what you did. University went in another direction.
You need to fully understand something. If there was anything, in the form of abuse or making players play with injuries, he would have been fired AND they wouldn’t pay him the remainder of his contract, which would have kept Rex till 2023. But they did, which means they hope he goes away peacefully.
First of all, you’re right about the “sore calves” shot from me. It was unnecessary. Not sure about anyone else but I never called anyone a liar. If you read my earlier post or ever have read anything I’ve posted here, you’d know how much I hate racists and narrow minded people. I was simply suggesting that these guys could possibly be a little thin skinned and possibly a little insulated from tough situations in their young lives. It’s possible that Rex, who grew up in a very blue collar part of Louisville in a different era has grown tired of dealing with this.
That's not the debate, but fine, fire him for that. Not the gutless approach that the clowns took again...
I will just make one comment. Racism has always been there, it’s only now that is seems to be allowed to surface in many shapes and forms.
But its more unacceptable than ever.
And MANY think we're "better off" today.
Everything is somebody else's fault.
No matter what you say, it "offends" someone.
I can still hear my Mother say "I'm gonna give you something to cry about".
What a terrible, unenlightened parent she was.....
Say that to a kid today and they'll have you jailed.
And these are our future leaders.
Ahhh
Ahhh
A “we love everybody, we play by the rules” lib had to comment with a name calling personal attack.
As my unenlightened, archaic Mother would say, takes one to know one.
But I say....I don’t give chit what you say because you have the right to say it.
But should we meet I don’t think you would.
Classic lib style
