led by our old coach who whored out for the money

Stuff like this upsets me. Because we do this all the time.

Let me give you an example. You are president of a widget making company in Baton Rouge. A bigger maker of widgets at a higher level offers you more money to make widgets in Miami. YOU TAKE THE JOB. Many people would. He finds out that making widgets at the pro level is different than at his old level and he takes a different widget making job at a company that would hire him back at a pay raise so he and his family will be better off.

He does that. He never had any link to the first widget company. He didn't go to school there. He didn't play ball there. And his old job was filled and they would not have hired him back.

So that makes him a whore? Well then there are a whole lot of whores out there if that is what you define as a whore.

What is important to him? His and his family's happiness. He wasn't having that in Miami. He had no ties to LSU, other than it BEING HIS JOB. I know we like to make it seem like they should know better, but you know what, it was his job. A job he was good at so someone who could pay more wanted him to do someplace else. This is known in other jobs as a good opportunity. This is not being known as being a whore.

I had to have this discussion with a lot of friends because everyone was upset at our coach when he interviewed for an opening someplace else. Like your coach, our coach never went to our university. He never played for our university. He took our THE JOB we offered to him. Of course he will be looking to get a better job. Just about everyone out there is looking for a better job. Even those who own their own businesses, if offered enough money, would sell it.

That doesn't make them whores. It makes them the same as you and I (and if you are saying we are all whores, then I guess I can't argue that).
