    HaHa - true.

    well, he didn't attack Warde so security wasn't needed, and frankly I'm not sure what an HR rep could have done that would have made any difference once he left the building.

    maybe an injury to Edvinsson is the stars aligning to force Yzerman to go all out for Hughes.

    Saban won't want back in because with the money now above board he can no longer get the kind of advantage he had at Alabama and he knows it better than anyone else.

    this we agree on, even if for some different reasons. With respect to Warde, don't forget he doesn't act in a vacuum. He not a free agent and the institution is responsible for some the imperatives he faces. That said I won't argue he's hasn't been to slow to stop the bleeding. But of course if he had been a lot quicker with the hammer, one of those might well have fallen on Harbaugh at a point well before he brought them the NC, so there's that to consider!

    Wings in 1st place in the Atlantic with a -6 goal differential

    IDK - that's pretty meaningless. It was Harbaugh's team, Harbaugh's game plan being executed by the guys in the booth. All Moore had to do was make in game decisions on a template already designed for him. That's a tiny piece of a major college football coach's overall job, even if Moore did do it well. He may or may not have proven to the people around him that he was ready to be head coach somewhere, but wearing the headset in those games would not have been that much of the reason why.

    Karch is an old pro at this point, it will just be more to fodder to drive ratings.

    It's looking like Warde apparently has pics on some of the regents. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if this does him in, but I bet it will done most gracefully, and probably several month from now at least.

    I agree from some quarters, but the reality is that inexperienced assistants are passed over when coaches leave 99% of the time, so I will disagree they would have suffered all that much backlash to have dumped Moore which was the normal thing to have done. No argument they should have been better prepared for JH to walk, it had been as obvious as the nose on anyone's face for the preceding two years.

    I won't knock any win gained on a west coast trip, but these collapses are for the birds. Maybe 'game management' is too theoretical a concept for getting through to these guys. Maybe McLellan would have better luck with "knock 'em on their ass for 20min"

    I don't get the 'easy' critique. They buy search, investigative and interview services - it wasn't going to be hard on anyone to have undertaken a search. But I will grant the situational uncertainly was high - that was going to be the hard part. So if you feel you can't have confidence in a decision you make today but think that situation will change by tomorrow, then make the decision tomorrow. I don't see that as an organization failure per se - it's a tactical choice. Plus they saved a lot of money - which always matters. And there was always the chance Moore would have been more successful, because they wanted Moore to be successful - that's a story the U wanted to be able to tell. (fail there) Plus, I know everyone seems to think no-one would ever turn down an offer to coach M, but anyone would rather step in to clean up after a guy messed up and 10 wins will be seen as progress, than have to follow an NC winner who left you with a bare cupboard and an investigation still pending. Long story short, they are in a better position to get a yes from someone they want today than on the heels of Harbaugh's exit.

    Yup. And I think an additional factor was with the the NCAA sanctions pending, the House case pending, the NIL system/athletic payments etc all up in the air, they were willing to let it ride on Moore at low cost to see if the dust settled a bit before they committed big $ to a coach whose skill fit might to be obsoleted by circumstance (e.g. do you make prep recruiting your #1 priority if college football is going to end up with the equivalent of a draft, etc). And who knows, Moore might win a few games. So wait and see hasn't particularly worked out. Things are almost as much up in the air as 2 yrs ago, even though the House settlement has come down. But they did beat OSU last season. So I doubt they feel too bad about the decision to bide their time per se. They only now regret doing it with Moore.

    yeah - watching the last 5 min of the 2nd you'd never know the wings were up by 4. They seem to just go into these deep low energy funks where is nothing but half-hearted effort to get back a puck. Very odd team even when they play well,

    I wouldn't lose any sleep if Trump just sent in a force and removed Maduro - he's earned it many times over. But if you want to do it, do it. Quit fartzing around with speed boats and killing random people and lots of typical useless Trump running at the mouth that's not making any difference for Venezuelans at all.

    have seen various reports that it's protective custody suicide prevention, to a domestic row/possible altercation with his wife, to B&E at the girlfriend's house. Take your pick - could be all three if he was on a tear.

    Buddha says he's still under a ban
  18. gehringer_2
    I hate getting my hopes up... And of course the thing with Yzerman is that absolute silence emanating from the org makes it all the more intriguing because you know if he really is working something that's all we'd get. 🙉

    maybe true, but USC is pretty nice billet to leave for anywhere.
  20. gehringer_2
    sure looks like a titanium or graphitic ring on the left hand third finger..... could explain the presence of a complaining party.
  21. gehringer_2
    LOL - sorry out of likes. I'll hold you to it later.

    it's not the particular behavior, it's superior/inferior relationship that is the parallel between the cases and that is the bette noir for the institution. Under the ruling social paradigm all relationships are power mediated, we are all weak sisters who can't stand up and tell our bosses to bug off or have the guts to just quit when we find ourselves working for a jerk. Now just for the sake of being arch I've overstated the critique, there is a lot of potential of abuse in a University, but I'm a lot more concerned about between students and faculty than coaches or admins and staff, particularly at place like UM where it is really easy for staff to change jobs within the system if they find themselve where they don't want to be. And the fact is, life is more complex than simple rules. If my now 30 yr BIL the professor and my graduate studying sister had been at michigan under these rules when they met, he probably would have been fired, she'd have missed her soul mate, and I've have missed a good friend.

    Kasper is actually rated higher by the 'trade value' calculators, which I found interesting..
  24. gehringer_2
    yeah - getting a legal investigative report in a month is like light speed.
  25. gehringer_2
    they fired the University President over the same thing. We've apparently gotten very prudish here in A^2 -
