WOSgrad

Hmmm....I'm starting to doubt the accuracy of the list that was given to the Enterprise...I was contacted last night by one of the coaches on the list who never sent in an application or a resume for the job.

Heard that one a million times yet I am still busting a gut on that one! Oh yeah, I am ready for opening day!

I'll let you carry the ball on this one.

Nope.

I've done that, but it give's me a message to click inside the media player to start the streaming file.  But they give me no player to click.

I can't get the player to play.

And then there are multiple games per day. My math is probably flawed, but do you see my point? Alot of money. [/quote] You're right it doesn't take away from the point.

Capacity for The Rig is 9,200.

[quote name="UNLV" post="989212" timestamp="1301321253"] You can't look at record as a coach only[/quote] Yes, you can.  You can talk about X's and O's, you can talk about recruiting, but ultimately, it is whether a coach wins, which is something documented by your own words below. [quote author=UNLV link=topic=82332.msg989212#msg989212 date=1301321253] Tubbs was a huge failure in his second stay at Lamar. Abatemarco was the last coach at Lamar to win 20 games. [/quote] All the more reason not to bring back Abatemarco back.  Tubbs actually built a winner at Lamar, at Oklahoma. That 20 win season at Lamar is the only season Abatemarco has had a winning record as a head coach at 3 different stops, why bring back a losing coach?  Abatemarco couldn't recruit well enough or do enough x's and o's to keep Lamar above .500 and he had some players left from Foster's stay.  I like you, UNLV, I think you are a smart person, but I think you are overrating Abatemarco's skills. [quote author=UNLV link=topic=82332.msg989212#msg989212 date=1301321253] I remember how excited I was to see his 3rd year. [/quote] I think you might have been the only one. [quote author=UNLV link=topic=82332.msg989212#msg989212 date=1301321253] Abatemarco got ran out of town because of his mouth. He went to Drake and he became a coach that is known for verbally abusing players, just like Bobby Knight. The difference between Knight and Abatemarco is Knight was tolerated. [/quote] You are absolutely correct that Knight got away with things that Abatemarco (and many others) could not get away with.  And you know why that is?  Because Knight won basketball games and consistently lead his teams to Big 10 championships and NCAA title appearances!  As dumb as the comments were that he made about Beaumont, had Abatemarco repeated the 20 win season at Lamar, I am quite sure that Billy Franklin, the buffoon that he was, would have found a way to keep him at Lamar. For Abatemarco to be considered amongst the top candidates leads me to believe that Lamar needs to KEEP LOOKING.

There is no official deadline.  I hear that they are hoping to have a new coach named by the end of April.

[quote name="Bruce" post="989036" timestamp="1301260732"] I'm sorry, I just don't get it.  I see the appeal of Sutton (as well as the risk).  I see the appeal of Knight, if you believe he was in over his head too soon at Tech.  I can see the appeal of Evans, Cross, or Skelton given their successes at lower levels of hoops. I still think Brooks is on these lists as a courtesy given his previous ties to LU: 54-84 at the U of H isn't what we're looking for.  But I understand why the media and other folks mention his name. Why is Abatemarco even being mentioned?  Ever?  Comedy?  Irony?  The guy has had three coaching jobs.  After leaving Lamar, he was fired from Drake for abusing players having essentially spawned a mutiny.  He went 13-66 at Sacramento State, although I'm not sure anyone could win there.  He's had no success as a head coach at the college level, clearly has a habit of being abrasive to players and the community (and, mind you, I wasn't even living in the area when whatever-it-was went down with Abatemarco and the local community--actually, I'm curious as to exactly what it was that happened if one of you old-timers knows :)).  Frankly, I just don't get it.  I understand if folks say he's a good X's-and-O's tactician, but when you've got a reputation as being that big of a jerk, it's clear that he can't recruit good enough players for his programs to be competitive on a consistent basis.  He's a born assistant.  We just got rid of a guy who fit that profile perfectly.  What could possibly possess us to do that again?  Don't get me wrong, one of the "prime candidates" might end up not being the answer, either, but at least they are truly unknowns.  Abatemarco, like Brooks, is a proven failure.  You could say Knight is as well, but there's a heck of a difference between failing in the Big XII at a young age versus doing so at programs like UH or Drake.  I'm still not sure who my favorite candidate is at this point--I'm leaning a bit to Evans at this point, but think Sutton deserves a second chance if he's interested, and I can't imagine Knight couldn't coach at this level.  I just think Cross is too young, but I wouldn't be upset if he got the shot; I'd absolutely love it if he became an assistant--especially if one of the bigger names takes the job who we all know might look to jump ship in a few years if they're successful. [/quote] My man!

"For those who roll their eyes when Abatemarco is mentioned, Lamar could do much worse." Forgive me, Bob.  But I think will. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

[quote name="kicker" post="988820" timestamp="1301176797"] I wanted to stay away from this topic, and continue to, but I will say this......From very reliable sources, Mr. Colbert is a great and genuine man. He respects what WOS football is, and that it HELPS academics. Im sure he will make the right decision. What is the crazy thing here is that this could be the most important decision this new Super. will ever make at this school. crazy huh? IMO this will make him or break him with WOCCISD. I also will say that this decision WILL, not could, but WILL decide the up-coming board elections. Before people get on here and smash me for saying what I have said, lets get real here. Here are the facts: WOS is known around the country for football. Yes, academics are important, but respectfully football is just as or even more important at WOS. Here is why.....if these kids didnt have a no pass/no play clause, the graduation rate would drop dramaticly. Trust me, I know! Of all that I have said, this is really an ACADEMIC decision after all. [/quote] You won't find any argument from me, kicker.  Some may think this as overly dramatic, but I, too, feel that the decision on the next football coach/athletic director could fundamentally change the course of the WO-C CISD.  Fumbling of this decision could do irreparable harm to the district. As to Colbert, I, too , have heard from reliable sources words that leave me a bit wary of his views on how the next football staff at WO-S should look and word from less well placed sources seem to confirm the news.  I sincerely hope that I am wrong.  But at this point, we both need to keep a close eye on him to ensure that he does make the right position.
