McGee didn't show up to tell the team today. Mackin did it.

Wonder if this is a call McGee made or Mackin.

& you would expect Mackin to be open & honest about the whole ordeal with the players as well as the players with him.

With that said, Mackin let it be known that he would do something with his next move that everyone can get behind & support. (Just me guessing)

No Guts.

Shows how much of a man he is.

Wow what a *****. How could you justify leaving your players without even addressing them before you leave?

Petrino was definitely his mentor.

Birds of feather flock together.

Loserville. Good place for him.

Rick Petino- had an affair. Bob Petrino- had an affair. Louisville- undoubtedly an institution that regards employees with high morals. So be it.

Now that was cowardly.

You might almost call it "classless".

Or was smart enough to leave and not return.

He needs to ride on back of Petrino's Harley into Fayetteville wearing assless chaps.

And she had a relationship with her former boss at Louisville who resigned from Tennessee in disgrace. Louisville later named a building after him

Carol "Neil Callaway was always our first choice!" Garrison?

I took this as a positive from the players:

Quote:"I asked that whoever wanted to step up and be a leader, it was their time to do it," Mackin said. "Nineteen kids got up, addressed the remaining team and said they were going to hold them accountable for all of those - academics, training room and in the weight room, which I thought was a tremendous positive.

"This is all about our student athletes right now, making sure I answer all their questions and let them know how proud I am of them for all they've accomplished."

Carol Garrison wasn't sainted until after she through herself on the sword for an on-campus stadium. A lot of saints have troubled pasts.
