Whew! Seems like Coaches in the NFL and the NCAA are being passed around like two dollar hoes nowadays! LOL, "pimping ain't easy, and that is nowhere more true right now than in the sports world. Players are pimping, coaches are pimping, EVERYBODY is chasing that dragon, that almighty dollar and the word "loyalty" has nothing to do with sports any more. In fact, today, being athlete or a Coach can be seen as one's "hustle." LOL. So in true hustler fashion, Pete Carroll decided to leave USC to go coach the Seattle Seahawks. I'm not mad at him! Dude's gonna make 7.5 million a year, and was given a 35 million dollar contract deal over five years. he paid his dues at USC. And the NCAA sanction probability notwithstanding, USC garnered a "sweet young thang" in the person of Lane Kiffin (the former NFL bad boy coach for the Oakland Raiders). Kiffin had just been hired as the coach for Tennessee a year ago, but decided to drop them like a hot potato in order to come back to sunny Cali. Now that's GANGSTA! This week started out with a lot of conjecture, confusion, and as a veritable conundrum...and methinks it's probably not over yet. There is a lot of Carroll/Kiffin hating out there among fans, and even among some people in the media. Crazy days, crazy times for sports when coaches nowadays don't seem to care that much about building a legacy...at least not when it comes at the expense of them getting "the job they always wanted" (*wink* at Lane). Hee hee!
Coaching Conundrum!
