Excerpt From Coach Greg Robinson’s Last News Conference
The newest Dauphin may approach the bench. Chip Kelly has been named the latest “head coach-in-waiting” at Oregon, therefore thwarting the market for his formidable talents as an offensive coordinator. You have to wonder if there’s going to be a conference just for Jimbo Fisher, Will Muschamp, and Kelly in the off-season, much like the ones Arthur and the other sidekicks in The Tick used to have where they’d mope around, drink coffee, and complain about not getting the chance to be “full heroes” and their benefits package.
Yarr, methinks a real navy would do. Mike Leach interviewed at Washington, where he really could have his own pirate navy if he decides to take the head job as chief of the smouldering ruins of the Husky football program. Pat Hill and Steve Sarkisian also interviewed for the position, and Hill wore a tie and everything. (’Stache stayed strong, though, we assure you.)
You still have to get him a golf cart. Charlie Weis still wants that golf cart, because he’s getting another year most likely while boosters sell off organs and Siberian logging interests to prepare next year’s buyout in case the return to greatness suffers its 16th straight year of delay.
That guy? He does that. Spurrier did call out Lane Kiffin over a potentially improper recruiting call, you know, just to let him know who’s turning tricks on what corners here in the ESS-EEE-SEE. Spurrier also noticed your hedges are six inches too close to the boundary fence, which is a clear violation of the deed restrictions of this neighborhood, kid, and if you’re even thinking about putting up a Direct TV dish without consulting the local board, you’ve got hell coming your way in buckets.

The golf cart is just part of that decided schematic advantage. Put Clausen in the golf cart, then who can sack him?! Why didn’t anyone else think of this?!
I hope SU AD Daryl Gross asks potential head coaches what their favorite books are. Anyone who doesn’t say “Harold and the Purple Crayon” should immediately be taken off the list of candidates.
So he reads this to his players and then says, ‘Now go out there and hit someone in the fucking mouth!’ WTF? Sounds like he would make an excellent Pre-K teacher.
I’m stunned, simply stunned. Whoever edited that clip and decided to feature that portion should win an award. They knew they had found the exact clip to sum up Gerg’s tenure. Well done behind the scenes clip editing dude, well done.
I was pretty disappointed in a 1 item Curious Index. Then I watched the video. My mind is so full of wisdom right now that I’m not sure I could have digested more.
You go on thinking you can, Gerg. You go on thinking that…
I’m only getting the clip as well. Did the other stuff get taken down or is something strange going on and some of us are not seeing all of what is there?
Johnny – I hope that was a joke. Bill Stewart is a dim-whit hick who is going to “awe shucks” WVU into perinneal 6-6 team. If you haven’t noticed, we went from BCS bowl games in 3 out of 4 years to, what looks like, the fucking Menieke Car bowl in Charlotte, playing a middle of the pack ACC team. Sweet…
The sad part is, next season may make this cluster-fuck of a season look like a resounding sucess.
Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, and Mike Gundy would be absolutely insulted had they seen that clip of Greggers, as it would mean that they and Gerg once shared the same profession.
NDGT,
At least Bill Stewart loves his school and would never leave it for a “sexier” job. That should count for something. Besides, 6-6 sure beats 3-9.
Sadly, I see a similar fate for Mark Richt. The management style is the same. A pleading give me “time” and everything will be ok kind of eventual fail. Vision quest is overrated.
Tony Robbins inspiration is late night “four easy payments of whatever” bullshit. Yoda’s “do or do not, there is no try” is free and runs circles around the prevelent coaching/empowerment hyperbole.
Nick Saban knows how to “cleanse” , Nick Saban knows how to express expectations before the season. Nick Saban knows how to win. Nick is a 4M prick. He is a management genius.
Mark Richt is a nice guy. Eventually, his endearment to friendship and family ties will be his downfall. Welcome to life.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

So this is what coaching at Syracuse does to you. Come on down Greg, the Moo U job is open. Optimism abounds in Mississippi.

I think I missed the origin of the Charlie Weis+golf cart thing, but that’s okay.
It simply allows me to imagine him riding shotgun in Dennis Erickson’s golf cart as it sails over the volcano, and that’s all right with me, man.

Ah yes – the fabled “Return to Greatness.”
Or is it the inspiring “Wake the Echoes”
There are so many catchphrases to propel a program to the top that I get them confused.
