If Selig and Corrigan are close, and Corrigan would rather stay at ODU than coach somewhere else, then Selig (or Broderick) will create a position for him. Does anyone really want to debate that?

1) It obvious that you're talking about something you have no idea. I would say Ted Alexander (who is a senior associate) EARNED his job. But since you seem to think Corrigan can do it, tells me all I need to know about your cluelessness when it comes to running a business.

2) If you really think the Selig and Broderick are just going to create a position for someone at a time when budgets are tight, further shows how clueless you are.

I've edited my last two posts to try to be polite, but your personal insults have gotten to be a little too much.

First of all, I've forgotten more about business than you will ever know but I don't need to sell you on my background. Since you were an intern with an athletic program (which one we all can't wait to hear) then you are some kind of expert on this situation somehow?

If you don't understand the back door politics that happen to either create jobs or have people keep their jobs even when times are tight then you are absolutely freaking clueless. Go back and try an internship in business administration instead of athletic administration.

Clueless is too much of an insult for you?

So it's okay for you to say people are unqualified for their positions but when someone questions you, you play the "I know more about business" card? Okay, buddy.

We get that you think Corrigan can do Alexander's job, but how exactly did you come to that conclusion? You don't even know what Alexander's jon entails OR what Alexander's qualifications are (based on your own admission of not feeling like looking up resumes).

I pointed out that those jobs that you think Corrigan can do better than the people in them are lot more than what you think. Perhaps you should have taken advantage of college and done internships in different areas.

Damn, bro, you're mad because multiple people on this board have said it's time for Corrigan to find a job at another institution.......

No, I'm not mad. Maybe frustrated that I let myself get into a pissing match with you but that is exactly what you wanted so congrats. You win.

I believe in loyalty, you clearly don't. That is your prerogative, but I think Corrigan should stay if he wants to.

Let me ask you a serious question. Do you think Barefoot really wanted Corrigan on staff, or do you think Selig asked her to keep him on?

Actually don't answer, I don't care what you think because no internship of any kind is going to explain how back door politics and business really work.

No one here, but you wanted a pissing match.

Unlike you, who refused to answer a question, I have no problem answering a question.
I don't think barefoot wanted Corrigan on her staff. However, with as much turnover as she had, he would have been a safe bet to try to stop the revolving door. And had Barefoot utilized him for his strengths -excellent X's and O's coach- she probably would have benefitted from it.

I understand politics, but for some reason you seem to think you're the only one who understands how business works. Let's assume you are correct and Selig FORCED barefoot to put Corrigan on her staff, why the hell would Selig keep throwing a guy a lifeline?

If you honestly have the business background that you say you do, then I hope to God that you have someone who does the hiring and firing at your company. Or does your whole loyalty stance only apply to athletics and Selig?
