Clyde Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I can understand holding him to his contract, but there are other ways besides firing. Does the standard coach's contract forbid them from interviewing elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBCousins Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If that's his stance good luck finding a competent HC to ever take the job while he's in charge... It's still a good job in a BCS conference. No trouble finding a competent HC. Does it change anyone's mind if Jago didn't inform the AD of the interview? The AD is on record as saying he wants someone who will stay long-term (which might not be totally realistic) but I think he was just upset by not being told about it.

SuperB Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 He supposedly promised to give BC at least 3 years before moving on. He was warned that if he interviewed for this job he would be fired. I realize it puts Flipo in a precarious situation but I admire him for sticking to his guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Coach one time, who often said "Plain talk, is easily understood". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wireman Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think coaches get away with too much crap in today's sports. I'm happy that the AD took a stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're a college head coach with NFL experience and an NFL team wants you to interview for their head coaching job, it's kind of tough to just say "no thanks." It makes me think the AD wanted to make a change for some other reason ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, when the boundary lines are defined, one must make that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRIKE3 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How many schools would construct such a boundary?I've been trying to think back, once I first heard this and I couldn't recall any. If I was the Coach and this statement was made, I would be inclined to believe like you and feel the AD, may had another direction he was going. Seems I remember some Professional teams, not granting permission but nothing like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
