  • See Ya, Quin!

    So glad to hear yesterday that Quin Snyder is finally out at Mizzou.

    I've read how some Mizzou supporters actually liked this hire when it happened, but that it's gone downhill since the first few seasons.

    I never liked the decision. Quin Snyder is a Dukie, and a Dukie with no previous head coaching experience. So, what basis was he hired under? And why was his first job in a superconference like the Big 12?  Let's look at three of Mizzou's major rivals, Arkansas, Kansas, and Illinois. How many of those teams, all of whom have endured coaching changes in the last few years, hired a coach with no head coaching experience? That's right --- None.

     Snyder needs to get a job at a mid-major school or lower to learn how to coach before he tries to return to the major college coaching circles, but I'd be wary of hiring him since he also carries NCAA scandals in his wake....

  • Kornheiser to MNF sounds great!

    When I heard ESPN announced its Monday Night Football announce team as Joe Theismann, Mike Tirico and Tony Kornheiser, I was overjoyed.

    Kornheiser's national radio show was three hours of joy to my ears, even when he didn't know what he was talking about. The big issues will be how well Mr. Tony deals with the travel (he strongly dislikes flying) and his ability to stay awake (he's usually in bed by 10).

    I fully expect him to show up in the booth for the first broadcast, dressed in pajamas, pillow in hand, and announce, "Why is this game on so late? Why can't they start the games earlier if they want me to do this? Just wake me up when it's time to go home."

    But if he can stay awake, it should be interesting....
