Than he would fit great a bama.

He failed miserably at UCLA and didn't exactly help set records at LSU, yet the NFL is going to unleash his potential?

Yep, you are.
Posted on 12/17/09 at 8:17 am to masterofmydomain
there are a lot of reasons to fire someone. unless you are very close to the situation, the real reason(s) will not be known. miles (or the adm) obvioulsly wanted him gone. i know he was a great recruiter. hope he lands on his feet.

I'm pissed because he stopped contact with some of our better recruits in the state next year. So yea... I guess you could say i'm "pissed off about McCarthy."
they may have been by design since an investigation was on-going...

it's not a big stretch to think that once LSU became aware that there were indiscretions in McCarthy's recruiting, and that they were going to have to start an internal investigation, he was told not to have contact with these top recruits....

Not true. It will all come out later on...he is a good guy and my neighbor. You will be scratching your head when it comes out what happened. Have a nice day.

I cant say too much as it is an ongoing thing. It does not involve an apartment for Hicks. The student is Hicks but the nature of the violation is very very small. It has also been mentioned that when they see what happened there will be some vary serious questions asked as to why he was fired or forced out for this. The man has very good character...he goes to church every week with his family and loves his children. He made a simple mistake in trying to help a kid. It will come out that the level of the violation is no where near what most think. He is a clean recruiter and he makes promises to look out for the kids while they are away from home. He did what any good nature christian would do. What other questions do you have. He cant talk about the details as it is still on going.

Stu I have always liked your posts. I normally do not get involved in posting as most everything is speculation but I hate to see a good character guy getting dragged in the mud for no reason.

Even if I threw out everything I read here (which I pretty much do now anyways) - there are some pretty disturbing things that have been alleged - and this extends beyond Hicks.
I really dont get the feeling he's merely a scapegoat here, I think he really screwed up with something/someone.
you know, where's there smoke.........

Even if ti is minor(Which I doubt). He sucked as coach so its immaterial.
Posted on 12/17/09 at 10:19 am to Uncle Stu
There is something to it but it is not serious. That is what I am trying to say. He will be able to find a job after this I do not expect him to get black balled.
If you think he is a bad coach that is fine. I for one dont get paid what he does to coach football so I dont know.
Please keep in mind this is a man with kids and a wife. How would you like half truths and mis-information to affect your life. He is already getting a raw deal from what I do know...and if he was a bad coach just let him go...

Why is it that most people that I know to be pieces of garbage, I always get a response just like this one, maybe with something added about how great an asset they are to the community, etc. If they had good character they wouldn't have cheated/ be in trouble. What may be minor to you, because your judgement is clouded by your feelings for McCarthy, obviously isn't to the SEC/NCAA. You also assume that he told you the entire truth and not just his watered down side of the story.

Wow...have you heard stories about recruits before? A lot of these kids don't have dimes to rub together and you would tell them you can't help them eat or get from the airport? You have to help them find clothing (suits, shirts, ties, and dress shoes)from other team members because you can not pay for it or get it donated to them because of the rules. Somethings are just human nature for GOOD people. All that being said even the NCAA would not view this as anything more than a minor secondary violation.
He has nothing to lose by telling me the truth. He does not have anything to hide. Just wait till you hear the findings.

Right now the Anti-Miles crowd is using this as another reason to bash Miles and show what a horrible coach / person he is.
The bashers will not wait for the end of the investigation. Nor will they issue any apology even if one is deservred.
Right now in their minds, Miles let McCarthy run wild. If it comes out that is was a very minor offense, they will just change their tune to Miles is an a-hole for letting McCarthy go.
