Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

HOW FIRED ARE YOU?

How fired is your beleaguered coach? A good question to ask this time of year, especially if you've been going to work, doing a shitty job, and losing football games. The current round up of those lining up to meet the vocational grim reaper and their relative metaphorical equivalents follow.

Houston Nutt.

How fired is he? Explosively fired, man. Hmm...if he were an element, he'd be pure sodium. You know, the stuff your friend Todd decided to steal from the chem lab in high school? Because he read it was explosive and whatnot, right? And put it in his back pocket and sat down, removing a clean, sirloin-sized chunk of his buttocks? (Todd was cool like that. Kids with parents in jail typically are.)


Fired? Oh, I'll make them all pay, I will! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA

Houston Nutt shouldn't be near any open flame right now. If he were transported on trucks, they'd have to have a special sticker to cross state lines with him, and you'd swerve several lanes over to avoid getting to close to it. Tactical scrutiny has now gotten easier and more common than ever: against Auburn, Darren McFadden received a mere 17 carries without the excuse of being drastically behind, as the Tigers only scored nine points in four quarters. (Tuberville, up by a field goal, decided to protect the lead by running. This is not a joke. He did.)

Most damning is Nutt's political situation: his protector and sponsor, Frank Broyles, is stepping down as AD after this year, leaving Nutt and an extremely, um..."participatory" fanbase to shake the torches at the gates until he goes, even if they don't have a clue who'll take the gig once Boss Hawg is gone. They've got planes and shit, man. You can't fight that.

We just consider it a miracle they didn't unfurl the banner and unleash the five hundred pounds of malathion they've got in the back on the crowd, or weed, or whatever else you know an Arkansas pilot hustles around in a Cessna to make ends meet.

He should go into... Restaurant management.

Star-divide

The mix of speed-freak mania and lack of attention to detail should be instantly recognizable to any of our brothers and sisters in the filthy half-apron club. Nutt doesn't know where these chicken fingers are going, and he doesn't care--but they've been under the goddamn heat lamp for three minutes now, and they're going somewhere with you right now, kid. Oh, and your ass looks like candied ham in those pants. Meet him in the office in five.

Bill Callahan, Nebraska.

How fired is he? So fucking fired.

How soon? Soon. As in possibly today, if you believe rumors, and we always do. The rumor mutates by the hour, but either Nebraska AD Pederson, Callahan, the defensive staff, or varying combinations thereof will all be gone before the coffee in your break room goes cold. The latest unverified, sexy rumor: the extremely unsexy Buddy Ryan will come in to be the interim coach when Callahan is given the cornhole and unceremoniously booted from his job. We want this to happen if only to watch Ryan, perpetually drunk on rageahol, corrupt youth by offering cash bounties on opposing players and get into a fistfight with inflatable mascot/nightmare vision Lil' Red. Because he will do both.

He should become... a high school physics teacher.

Student: My, that's a big book, Mr. Callahan.

Mr. Callahan: Yes, it is. Physics requires dedication, Tommy.

Student: Can you teach me what's in the book, sir?

Mr. Callahan: Of course not. There will be a test tomorrow, though.

Student: I hate you, Mr. Callahan.

Mr. Callahan: I'll be in the teacher's lounge, reading Popular Mechanics, Tommy. Good luck.

The talent for making simple things into complex, incomprehensible arcana with poor results just seems like too perfect a fit.

Dennis Franchione, Texas A&M

How fired is he? That information will cost you $1200 dollars a year, payable to Mike McKenzie, Esq. We'll guess completely and utterly fired.

How soon? Depends on when and if A&M decides to jump on the new hottness of firing coaches prior to the final game of the season. The gambit worked perfectly for Florida when they pre-empted the competition in the Urban Meyer sweepstakes; if A&M does decide to follow suit, we could be talking a matter of weeks.

If not, they'll drag it out 'til just after the Texas game. Either way, Franchione's taken away the inevitable lawsuit following his firing with Newslettergate, and taken away any defense with his playcalling and performance in the Miami and Texas Tech games. The Aggies and Huskers combined are killing the vulture populations of the Heartland; caught between two such tantalizingly awful smells, they're dropping dead of exhaustion flying between the two.

He should become...a personal injury attorney. Lionel Hutz, move over. Coach Fran's about to make sure you get the settlement you deserve. Remember, you're limping on the left leg, client, the left leg. The one Fran labeled for you on the top of your shoe.


Feel the power of a Mexican law degree, citizens of Texas! This message brought to you by Franchione and McKenzie, attorneys-at-law.

Oh, there's more, especially in the Pac-10. Later.

I want to see a new reality show started to pit viable coaches and random celebrities and nobodies against each other to decide who is going to be the next coach at [redacted] after [redacted2] is fired.
That could actually be worth watching. We could all text in our votes for our favorites and have viewing parties for the results shows. And they wouldn’t even tell the contestants or viewers which team they are competing for a position with and then shock them at the end with a mediocre salary at a beleagured team…

Unless the BOT and the Chancellor like planes flying over their campus pulling banners than say bad things about their head football coach, they will find a new one by the end of the calendar year.

suicidewatch,

Richt has something like the fourth best record in the nation during his tenure. He caught a bad break in 2002 with two teams going undefeated during his one-loss season, unlike LSU in 2003 and UF in 2006. He’s won two SEC titles in six full seasons, though seven looks probable. The idea that he has underacheived is the same kind of bullshit thinking that destroyed Alabama and led to Nebraska’s disastrous Callahan hire.

Solich won one title in 6 years. 1. Solich also went 7-7 in his 5th year. Solich’s losses in 2003?

41-21 at Missouri.
31-7 at Texas.
38-9 at KSU.

Biggest win? He beat Penn State — the worst Penn State team evar, which went 3-9 that season.

@15 – Yeah, the Dawgs need someone with more emotion on the sidelines, like a Ray Goff! I think he’s available.

Or maybe they need a proven winner, maybe someone that’s won a national championship, like…say…Jim Donnan. I hear he’s available as well.

Or maybe they should just stick with the coach that’s won 2 SEC championships in the last 5 years and finished in the top 5 most of that time.

Nah, that’s no fun. Let’s fire the guy because he has different beliefs. I mean, Nebraska fired that bum Solich because he dared to go 10-3 and we see how well they’re doing now.

One of the main differences between the 2002 Dawgs, the 2003 LSU Tigers and the 2006 Gators is that the Dawgs didn’t get a late season loss from one of the top two teams to make it to the BCS game. If that had happened, who’s to say that the Dawgs wouldn’t have another MNC under their belt? One thing’s for certain, if there hadn’t been late season, unexpected losses in 2003 and 2006, neither of the other teams would have been MNC’s as well. Just see Auburn in 2004.

Phil Fulmer is pretty fired as well.

A lot of rumors went around that if he lost to UGA he was a goner, and I imagine that the last two wins bought him a little time, but I don’t think the Alumni are going to swallow losses to Alabama, Arkansas, SC, and Kentucky. I think the odds of us losing to all of these teams is pretty good.

We’re likely to be 6-6 this season I don’t think that’s going to save him. He’s probably only the fourth best coach in the east, and once somebody wises up and gives Trooper Taylor an offensive coordinator position, we’re going to be fucked in recruiting.

Not sure about the wisdom of firing Fulmer, there are a LOT of things I don’t like about him. His offense is not creative at all, and the defense has been terrible lately, but the results have been solid until the last three years.

Here is an obvious one, Greg Robinson at Syracuse. Rumors are that the AD Gross has already began the search. If he loses to Buffalo at home on Saturday, he probably won’t last till Sunday.

Also, Georgia hung 37 on Muschamp last year.

They actually only hung 30 (a Pick-6 isn’t the fault of the deefense), and UGA had short fields for most of the game, due to Cox throwing 4 INT’s. But, yes, 446 yard of total offense is damning, no matter which way you slice it.

  1. - That’s a pretty impressive theory for Nebraska. Just one question though . . .

Why would Nebraska hire a sophmore QB as a head coach? And how could Nutt coach at USF if Leavitt is still here?

-Just poking fun, I knew what yer gettin’ at.

Nutt NEEDS to go.
Like now.
Like soon.

To say that he is delusional would be an insult to sociopaths everywhere

I thought Houston Nutt was already fired? I swear on Youtube I heard Wil Muschamp say, “That f..king Mother f..ker is fired!”

if not Bo Pelini,Turner Gill is the man. Solich’s mistake at Nebr. was not making Turner offensive cord. Univ. Buffalo has four w’s!!!! that’s a f___g miracle !!!!
