USC's Tim Floyd OUT, se7 Jackson Clarion-Ledger

Who is going to get take this job?

 

Fixed.

 

I'm not. Don't think anybody at the HA has Tim Floyd's cell # on speed dial like Rick Cleveland does. Besides, I think they're probably up to their eyeballs in Southern Miss baseball right now.

 

I know, Rock, just pulling your leg.

 

I thought that these days the American and the Ledger were sharing Southern Miss copy, thus making it one and the same?

 

More on point, they're owned by the same company.

I agree that Rick Cleveland's fingerprints seemed to be on this.

Which seems to be suggested in the penumbra of his blog post:

Fill in your own punchline here ...

 

Theus would be a fascinating hire. A train wreck in a tunnel, I'd bet, but it would be fun to watch. Braswell is a good coach but doesn't win on a regular enough basis in the Big West to make it clear he's ready for the next step. Too bad Paul Westphal is already been pulled off the scrap heap. He would have made a perfect terrible hire for this spot.

 

Steve Fisher is an hour away...

 

The fuck you lookin' at?
