Say goodnight, Jim.

Maybe Assoc. AD or something? He's been there since I was a student. My guess is he's been loyal and has friends at ODU so they will find something for him.

The only place I could see him ending up is ODAF. But honestly I don't know if he would entice me to open up my wallet.

Perhaps it's time for Corrigan to look else where for employment.

If he has a place to land within ODU, it will be ODAF.

Who cares! He has been part of three failed coaching staffs. Three strikes and you're out.

Couldn't disagree more, I hope he stays at ODU as part of ODAF or as an associate AD.

Why should he get a job (ie associate ad) that he is not qualified for? I somewhat understand him going to ODAF, but I don't see him getting an AD position

Not trying to be a jerk, but do you know how many associate ADs there are? Let me help you out.

I'm not calling out anyone specific, but Corrigan is more qualified than several people on that list.

More qualified at what? Coaching basketball? Yes. Being an administrator? Nope. Which area do you think Corrigan is more qualified than the person already fulfilling the role?

There are 5 associate ADs on that list and the fact that you think a basketball coach -who was never able to rise to the top of his profession (ie head coach)- is more qualified in at least one of these areas:

Sports Medicine
Academic services
Marketing
Operations
Facilities and events

I assume you have never been in a D1 athletic department. I suggest you go observe one and ask questions about what each of those people do before you suggest elevating a coach to an administrative position. I minored in athletic administration and had the opportunity to intern in an athletic department and I can say with absolute certainty that you have no idea (and most likely no respect) what those people do.

I don't know where you get that I don't respect what they do, but whatever makes you feel better. I could make a pretty strong argument that Corrigan could be an associate AD in either marketing or community relations. Is Ted Alexander much more qualified than Corrigan?

For external relations, absolutely. His job is to lead content production and distribution.

He's been doing that for decades.

Before he started at ODU, he spent 15 years in television as sports director, anchor and reporter and 15 more years on the radio air waves as a host and program director.

That's 30 years of sports content production (without any of his time at ODU being included), compared to 0 for Corrigan.

I'm not spending my time researching every person's resume on that list. This has everything to do with "who you know" not "what you know."

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?

Aren't we fortunate that we live in America where we can hold these divergent views and yet still live peacefully together.

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.

So how 'bout that new Coach?

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.......

Year 1 and probably 2 will be tough. Barefoot left a pretty bad roster

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.

Serously. I can understand frustration and infighting due to bad news. But this is good news and a great hire. Let us enjoy it because we don't seem to get it very often nowadays.

A little something on coach Nikki McCray-Penson's coaching staff: Richard Fortune...a familiar face to LM fans, back from VCU. Brittany Young...assistant coach gigs at Daytona St., South Carolina, and Stetson. Ed Baldwin...this guy's been all over the place. Head women's coach at Charlotte for 13 years, assistant at Ohio St, South Carolina, Temple, and NC State under Kay Yow. He was also an assistant coach with the Dallas Wings and Tulsa Shock of the WNBA.
