    Kevin Anderson, UM AD, seems like a bitch, too. I started by Terp career with Jerry Claiborne and Lefty.

    terpidiots are sad

    And an actual victory for college athletes: The effort to override the new rule allowing schools to guarantee scholarships for multiple years has failed:

    Good. According to the NCAA, college sports isn't a job, it's an extracurricular activity. So kids should be able to go to school and have it paid for even if they're not as good in the extracurricular activity as they were thought to be.

    When will the threads labeling most of the other FBS coaches as douchebags be posted?

    Looks like Coach Douchebag has been bullied into reversing his decision, and O'Brien can now transfer to Vandy if he likes.

    Randy Edsall is a compilation of every negative stereotype we heard about football coaches as kids: a control freak and bully whose arrogance is decidedly out of proportion with his mediocre career W-L record. Even in a profession filled with bad guys, he's a standout.

    Kevin Anderson will eventually get what's coming to him for his extremely poor treatment of a personable Maryland alum -- while ticket sales indicated some Fridge fatigue among the fan base, you just don't fire the reigning ACC coach of the year -- who had taken an extremely mediocre football program and turned it into a winner again.

    He and Edsall have made their bed. Sleep tight, idiots.

    Meanwhile, I hope O'Brien goes to Vandy and throws for 27 gazillion yards before heading to the NFL.

    Edsall's a dick. But that's not going to happen. :)

    OK, so maybe 27 gazillion was a bit ambitious.

    There are coaches who are complete douchebags to the media who are great to their players and the fans of the school where they coach.

    There aren't too many who can alienate all three groups in less than a year.

    Anderson's worked very hard to make people forget Debbie Yow. But at least Mark Turgeon was a good hire.

    Turgeon is a good man and an excellent coach. He'll need to be to save Anderson after the Friedgen/Edsall debacle.

    I'm friendly with many, many Maryland alums/donors and none of them would piss on the AD if he was on fire.

    Was Edsall this much of a dick at UConn and no one noticed because it was UConn?
