He has two games left and needs two wins. He is not getting fired if we go to a bowl. It will be a tough decision if Bates is gone to fire Dazzler without an AD.<br /><br />We may see Al Washington as the interim HC to start next season. Similar to the Ohio State scenario the year before they got Urban Meyer.knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805180161124683145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-71807693485460093032016-11-13T10:59:34.216-05:002016-11-13T10:59:34.216-05:00Drake, bowl payouts are sweet for the bigger games...Drake, bowl payouts are sweet for the bigger games, but for the minor bowls, we lose money. We have to buy a large block of tickets to the game and can usually only sell a fraction of them. We also share the revenue with the conference. <br /><br />With Clemson's loss yesterday, the ACC might get shut out of the playoff, which would reduce our payment from the conference. That would be a shame. Addazio is signed for 4 more years, or about $10 million. Christian has 3 more years after this debacle-in-waiting worth about $4 million. Before they go, Bates has to go. We can't afford to let him choose their successors.bceagle91https://www.blogger.com/profile/00982786161321083825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-65473570475624613992016-11-13T09:29:53.470-05:002016-11-13T09:29:53.470-05:00Brad Bates is a good man; a man of integrity and d...Brad Bates is a good man; a man of integrity and decency. I like him alot. I felt like he was the right man at the right time. But unfortunately, his two big hires have been unmitigated disasters. How can it be justified that our football team has been outscored 202-24 against VT, Clemson, Louisville and FSU this year? That's an average score of 50-6! He must and will pay the price with his job. The word around campus is that other big changes are coming - very big changes.<br /><br />Stay tuned.Edward Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731789842364450631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-58606642458899990412016-11-13T09:27:26.381-05:002016-11-13T09:27:26.381-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Edward Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731789842364450631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-67209128170195239052016-11-13T09:05:17.884-05:002016-11-13T09:05:17.884-05:00Not sure even getting to a bowl game helps at this...Not sure even getting to a bowl game helps at this point.

Bowl game ?...Where is Jim Mora when you need him ?<br /><br />Bowl game ? Are we talking about a bowl game ???!!!<br /><br />If we win the last two and are bowl eligible, then we should go to a bowl game?????!!!!! NO WAY, BC NEEDS TO DECLINE IF THEY HAVE ANY PRIDE. Four of the wins would have come against the juggernaut programs from UMASS, UCONN, Wagner, Buffalo. And offset just a teeny bit by 3 of the top 10 losses in BC history this past season. <br /><br />Doubt it will happen, first because we are going to lose to Wake Forest. Second, even though there are ninety seven bowl games now that no one cares about, they will won't select us becuase no one will show up, except parents and friends of players. Bowls only care about money. <br /><br />Have some pride and say that we won't go because the season doesn't live up to BC's standards. We still have those, don't we ?<br /><br />Why am I bothering to even think about this ??!! <br />1661_Commhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593294462124625650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57108977374421922016-11-12T22:00:03.293-05:002016-11-12T22:00:03.293-05:00You CAN fire both Bates & Daz now:

FOR HOOPS, WE NEED A FRICKIN GYM, A HALF DECENT EVEN SUB PAR WEIGHTROOM WILL DO, AND NUTRITIONIST. <br /><br />If you give a player an excuse for why they can't win, they'll take it. THAT IS COACHING 101 !!!!!! Is that what Christian is saying ? It's clear Addazio thinks it, he has outright said it in interviews.<br /><br />I GIVE Christian CREDIT FOR TWO THINGS SO FAR: 1) RECRUITING GRAVES, WHO WILL BE ALL-ACC BY SENIOR YEAR OR SOONER IF HE STAYS. WE HAVEN'T HAD A REAL PG FOR A WHILE, THAT'S THE FIRST EXCITING RECRUIT IN SOME TIME 2) HE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT THE KIDS AND IS NOT THROWING THEM UNDER THE BUS LIKE ADDAZIO IS. <br /><br />But that's not enough. He needs to show progress this year, at least 4 ACC wins, or HE NEEDS TO GO also. And tell him that to his face BEFORE the season. Not sure he is going to make it, his defensive chops are questionable, which is a problem with a talent gap, but something tells me not to give up yet.1661_Commhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593294462124625650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-63771629705870895842016-11-12T21:29:40.468-05:002016-11-12T21:29:40.468-05:00Pitt and Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech competitive...Pitt and Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech competitiveness against top ACC teams serve as a reminder of what BC program used to be and can be. Often a difficult team to play, tough, and got the most out of their talent. Same with the hoops program....players like Jared Dudley were not highly recruited but became ACC stars. BC had the types of programs in hoops and football that an alum could be proud of, and were respected by opponents. Not even close to that now.<br /><br />A new coach can get them back to respectable in a couple years, which is the first goal. Coughlin turned things around in a couple years with essentially the same talent. Harbaugh has turned things around even quicker at Michigan with a lot of the same players, Michigan was average for many years before he arrived. Not saying we are getting that level coach, but we have a poor coach now and an average coach would be an upgrade.<br /><br />Agree that a football coaching change is needed now, before end of season, to make a statement. It's more than just making a statement about athletics, it has gotten to the point where this is reflecting on the University as a whole. It conveys that BC's motto is a sham, and worse, that it is acceptable to not put forth an effort to be competitive, and not take action to improve. Complacency, and worse, borderline theft of ACC revenues. <br /><br />If finances is a concern, hire an up and coming AD, hire up and coming coaches, and acknowledge up front that BC is a stepping stone program for the best coaches and AD's they will hire. Figure out what will sell.....show that you can do it at BC with limited resources and then move on to something bigger. It's OK, things worked out OK with Jim O'Brien and Al Skinner and Tom Coughlin. I'd take coaches like that for 3 years. Who knows, maybe we get lucky and find a hoops version of Jerry York.<br /><br />1661_Commhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593294462124625650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-79427059046590526752016-11-12T20:47:03.651-05:002016-11-12T20:47:03.651-05:00Pitt is a balance, solid, tough team.

The new head of the school came in and slowly destroyed it's program. He didn't think sports and studies should mix. <br /><br />Fr Leahy is of that mind. The students of late also lack interest. What you see in the sports department is what you will get. Run out the string in the ACC and begin the downgrade. <br /><br />In retrospect it will be obvious this is happening. Things happen for a reason. If Leahy cared a little bit Addazio would have been gone last year as would Christian. baldysheehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206103666610247439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-87218272575319322312016-11-12T17:12:15.680-05:002016-11-12T17:12:15.680-05:00Yes knuckle.
