The only way Joe comes out of this without egg on his face is if he hires, for longer than a 24 hour period, one of the other top school coaches.

And those coaches will be loving it considering that they now have the power position.

You really think we're going to take her now? Considering who she is loyal to?

Sure she can, as long as he remains in coaching.

Joe looks a little bad and Murphy looks like dogshit but I agree he's now forced to make a move for a major coach. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to offer 300K to Mike Candrea.

The SEC may have stepped in, but who knows.

I can't see how this is a poor reflection on anybody but Murphy. Alleva didn't do anything wrong. And I liked the little verbal hiney spanking he gave ol' Pat in the press release in the OP.

No way Candrea leaves - especially since his wife passed.

Hell, see if Caldwell has any pull with the softball coaches at UCLA and try to get Lisa Fernandez. That would be a fantastic hire. You could maybe throw the checkbook at ASU's coach and UW's coach and get them to come down here. ASU would be tough, as he's been in the state of AZ for a while, and is starting to build a great program. On the other hand, he knows that it will always be difficult in the Pac-10 for him.

Just read that Candrea confirmed that LSU contacted him first. So I'd think that's a no go

Didn't say he did anything wrong, but when you hire someone and then they leave the next day - there will be some egg on your face.

Ha! Where'd you see that? Because Murphy kept going on about how he was the first/last phone call.

Don't be surprised if they threw something other than money. Bama boards were making some veiled allusions as to why he was single, and it being easier to "be who you are" in South Louisiana compared to North Alabama.


This is true. Some guys at my office where talking about him being "light in the loafers." I didn't know at the time that Murphy left Bama and thought it was weird for two grown men sitting around talking about whether or not another grown man is gay. But then again, it was two Bama fans.

If he's gay you never have to worry about him banging the players, kind of a plus.
