Come again?

If you think that private schools with small alumni base and small boosters can compete financially with huge state schools- then you are mistaken.

swift1 we may have more in common than we know

12/8/2006 7:22:18 PM

anyone know who his staff is and if hes keeping anyone in particular stroud on staff?

12/8/2006 8:06:24 PM

i read on pp that bc is going to look out of house for a new coach, so most of his staff will likely come with him.

although this was on pp, and therefore could've been entirely made up.

12/8/2006 8:08:37 PM

Hope he keeps Dixon on staff...

12/8/2006 8:11:31 PM

O'Brien won't be coaching BC against Navy in their bowl game...smart move:

PJ would has the same personality so this talk about TOB being another Herb--Point not taken!

Anyway, to all the people and media bitching about the Athletics Department "stealing" TOB, your point is also null and void: O'Brien was the only ACC coach among the 12 who started this season who didn't have a clause preventing him from jumping within the conference. He just took full advantage of it.

It's a freakin' bargain @ 1.1 million

12/8/2006 9:07:32 PM

God I hope we can lay it on Butch Davis for a few years so I can ask UNC peeps if that extra 760,000 they are giving Davis would have been better spent on sexual re-orientation surgery for their basketball team

Holy shit, that is a bitching schedule.

12/8/2006 10:45:10 PM

The games aren't necessarily going to be in that order though.

[Edited on December 8, 2006 at 10:49 PM. Reason : ]

12/8/2006 10:48:18 PM

yeah, next's year schedule will definitely test our new coach

the Louisville game will be monsterous...if we win that game, Raleigh will be rocking

12/8/2006 11:01:58 PM

^petrino won't be their coach, as he'll be coachin' the Raiders, baby

12/8/2006 11:20:06 PM

eww, at bc, i forgot about that, i wonder how that will go down

12/8/2006 11:26:30 PM

People who boo O'Brien at the game tomorrow night should be shot on site.

12/9/2006 2:14:41 AM

So we hire the coach of one of the few teams we somehow beat this year... good job.

12/9/2006 5:04:36 AM

yeah, it'd suck if we hired bowden, or frank beamer 2 years ago.

12/9/2006 9:50:37 AM
