Musings on Mangino: The Future of KU Football
Our KU friend Hiphopopotamus free-styled some brilliance on this subject yesterday and it's an absolute must-read if you want to understand why Mangino's days are numbered. KU AD Lew Perkins (himself a former 400 pounder - what is the Jayhawk fascination with gluttony?) is making a paper trail...
Tuesdays with Dani: Changing up routines
Sometimes players will hold players only meetings, nothing happens and the media glances over the occurrence of the meeting. Sometimes players hold player only meetings and the team turns around a losing slide, then people go back and say, 'it was because of the player only meeting' that sparked...
Did Jay Lethal's firing expose TNA's nasty side when their incompetence is confronted?
Jay Lethal's firing from TNA ten days ago took most people by surprise. He was a wrestler the company should have been investing in, instead of being kicked to the kerb, given his youth, talent and charisma. Indeed, on the rare occasions when the company tossed him a bone, he made the most of it....
2010 Coaching Carousel: More teams hand out pinkslips
It's that season, where schools look upon others going to the postseason with green envy and make a move to try and revitalize their program, chopping off the public head. Here is our update on the coaches on the hot seat; many of these coaching changes were expected by us and by the coaches...

As Suspected, No One's Getting Canned Until After The Season
No real surprise that (1) Bob McNair's frustrated and (2) no staff evaluations (read: firings) are going to take place until the season is complete. I've said repeatedly that I'm not a member of the "Fire Kubes!" mob; he's an offensive-minded coach who has made the offense infinitely better since...
OT: Tommy Bowden Fired
This news would be huge. Clemson, according to "sources" that Mark Schlabach at ESPN have talked to, just fired Tommy Bowden. Clemson started out 3-3 this year, including a loss to your Marlyand Terrapins. Dabo Swinney, the wide receivers coach, was named interim head coach. Bowden's never really...
Reviewing Big 12 Firings Proves I am a Dangerous Man
On July 17th, 2007, I did the old "Big 12 Coaches Most Likely to be Fired in 2007" article. July is a perfect time for such an article, as no one has called me on it since. However, we can better ourselves through a process of review and part of that process is accountability.Here's the order I...
