Higgins is the Brother in law of the guy I spoke with at the clinic. He seemed more disgruntled at the process that Higgins and Lawson were never given an interview. Why do you not talk to all qualified candidates. That is his real problem with the system. Tims point is that you cannot ever know if you are hiring the best person if you do not look at all candidates. Only looking at candidates that fit an opening that you know of in the present, not what may occur down the road. I don't know Lawson or anything about him. So if he had a job then he did.

I don't think it is my place to air out the differences between the parents and coaches. They should have done that themselves. You seem to know Tim, call him. I don't think he would not talk to anyone.

WOW! Col. Mike, you are right in one regard, the issues have been blown out of whack. I wonder why know one seems to think that the coach nmay have brought some of this on himself? Not by not playing kids, but but not communicating with parents. Being defensive all of the time. Not repecting his players. II had parents tell me that this past season was about him winning and not about the kids. It does take 2 to tango.

It has been seaid that a "group of idiot parents" caused this. I heard that 41 parents out of 64 took the time to fill out the survey. That means the group is over half of the team.

Col. Mike, I don't believe the administration cares about a successful football program. They will only look at resumes of those certified in Current Teaching openings. So they do not look for the best leader for these student athletes, just the best"English" teacher that may want to coach football. That does not denote caring about successful football. 3 years ago Higgins and Lawson were not even given a look because they taught math and south did not have math openings. At the end of the year I was told that they had 2 math openings. So they could have had Coach of the Year folks, and strong coaches, but they chose their 3rd 2st year coach.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the school did not fire the coach, he quit. No I have been told that his attitude towards kids that quit was that he would say that they did not need quitters. So, would the same hold true here?

I talked with a SO guy at Nike COY and I think there were problems caused by all sides and it is easy to blame the parents. He gave me some issues that I could not understand how the blowup would not have happened sooner. He never talked bad about the coach, just wanted to understand some things and was not given the chance.

Everybody on here can make the jokes, but they really don't know all of the issues and problems that existed in that program. I don't know if we ever will really know. It seems that everybody that is in coaching or education defends the coach, parents will defend the parents. so.....

First off I'd like to say I don't mind the Who and the performance they put on. I like some of their music and I agree that they influenced rock music tremendously. But who is anyone to say that music today is crap? It's MUSIC. Music is by definition, an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner. Just because it doesn't fit someone's style, or favorite genre, or morals, doesn't mean it's not music. If it wasn't any good, why do you think they're selling more albums than any rock group today? It IS and age thing. I understand I'm talking with a crowd that will most definitely disagree with me, but I know if I sat here and typed how much crap The Who or AC/DC or the Beatles or Guns N Roses or the Eagles and so on was, I'd be getting torn to shreads.

 

I'm off of my soap box.

:thumb::banana::clap::taz::isurrender:

Find me one person that doesn't know who Betty White is...

The 20 & under crowd that was in my living room just thought they were 2 old people. It wasn't until I said their names did anyone think otherwise. I am just saying that we get the WHO and Betty White and Fish becasue the advertisers and planners know that the older crowd is watching and the younger crowd is drunk.:ylsuper:

While there is stuff coming from my son's ipod that could never make it on a halftime show, there is some stuff that I like, surprisingly. I don't know who it is but I am requesting a download transfer.

Mowing when the grass grew...pushed that lawnmower all over the neighborhood.

Shoveling when the snow fell...carried that shovel all over the neighborhood.

Expecting about seven inches by the time it's finished in Louisville.

 

UofL is closed. I should get through a lot of the stuff on my DVR today. :lol:

I don't think the Ville' ever got to that! I had about 3 - 3 1/2'" at my crib.

Oh White Death!:jump:

I sure do miss him, & CERTAINLY Reagan!

The Snickers commercial with Betty White and Abe Vigoda was my favorite. That was funny.

I guess the super bowl advertisers do cater to old people, cause nobody under 40 propbably knows how the two in the commercial were. Just "OLD" people to them. I laughed when I saw Fish! I thought he had been thrown back years ago.

Coaching jobs don't have to be posted for any length of time. Teaching jobs do, unless superintendent requests a waiver.

That is just what I was told. So since MOST football coaching jobs are also tied to teaching, they all have to leave the jobs posted for 30 days? I wonder why if the coach sent his resignation out before christmas, why they waited until January 15th to post it?

I guess I will never understand this arm of the government.

Predicting 1" to 25" somewhere, to start sometime. Could very by altitude, barometric pressure and temerature.

I am glad the NKY boys got the last one right, the Louisville contengent missed it.

I heard that Pete had Rotator Cuff surgery today. He overdid the number of tilt-a-whirl strums! Just not young anymore!

I love the WHO, I don't disagree that they were one of the most influential bands of all time. BUT... their time has come. The stage saved the show. I thought they were awful.

I will take younger, more energetic and more relevant to today.

I want to remember the WHO as the band that changed Rock n Roll and the culture of the time, not those guys!

For some reason, they have to post the job for 30 days. So February 15th the post comes down. Then they start interviewing from there. Is the "30 Day" posting an Oldham county thing or is it a State, public school, thing? Seems to me that several schools move a lot quicker than 30 - 45 days.

I love everyone that piles on the weather man when they are wrong. Crickets from them now.

I am still piling on! There is no more than 1" on my drive this morning when they were calling it 2"-4" even 3" - 6" and now at 3:00 pm, my drive, street and walkway are clear, without shoveling!

I am telling you that I hope to god that my doctors office isn't satisfied with weather man accuracy percentages in their line of work!

I can't slide anywhere, even with the white death on the ground!

Louisville is RAIN, RAIN, and more RAIN! I should have been a weather man!

I need to run, for some political office!

Sunny side up, on Bisquts with Sausage, Bacon and Fried Bolgna, covered in SOS gravy and some Hasbrowns on the side. Have 911 preset and ready to dial, ROCK ON!

SSNNOOOPPP.... I AM YOUR FATHER.......

Reading this thread further affirms my dis-belief in ANY body's forecast. I don't trust any of them. They are like politicians. If I made as many mistakes in my job as they do in theirs, I would be unemployed!

I'll tell you how much snow we have when we have it!

So the job of a politician is to make promises, blame others, not follow up on promises, do nothing, get paid, go home, REPEAT?

Everyone has differing views and opinions on just about every walk of life. It kills me that some one to impart their views while vilifying the oposition, then threatening anyone who promotes or in this case, airs an opposing view point. Life is what it is, while I have very strong beliefs, I could really care less if you agree with me or disagree, why does it matter?

Someone said it was bold, or something to that effect, that CBS would air this commercial. CBS is not looking at the political, ethical or moral issues surrounding this commercial, it only sees the $ signs that it is getting from selling the spot.

I know that I am not as well versed as others when it comes to politics and common sense, but can't almost every President blame issues on the person that they replaced?

Is Turkey Bacon REALLY Bacon?

How does it get in the coversation?
