Rumor: Dr. Vorax to BC

I know unsubstantiated rumors are frowned upon here, but FWIW - I have a good friend in the  athletic department at Boston College who says they're looking at Dr. Vorax to take over once Frank Spaziani is let go, which will probably happen before the end of the season.  I was a bit surprised that Dr. Vorax would be considered for such a relatively high-profile position after his struggles here.  I guess they're buying into the whole "he was handcuffed by RR and forced to run an unfamiliar scheme" thing...

WTF is Dr. Vorax?

Dr. Vorax is the stuffed animal produced by GERG and applied to Kenny Demens' face last season.  The current theory is that the stuffed animal was the true brain of that operation.

But perhaps there is a beaver shortage at BC.  Can never have too many beavers.

If you wanted to interview for a new job but your employer said "please don't, we'd like to keep you and if you go interview we'll fire you" and then you went to interview... they'd fire you.

My former employer didn't know I was job searching, if they did I may have been fired. He did something where he was told he'd be fired for doing it. IMO good for BC for sticking to their guns. Won't help them win, but yay integrity!

"He's thinking about leaving, so let's make sure that he's not our coach next season." is what I got out of that whole situation. If they wanted to remain relevant, then they would have upped his salary instead of asking him nicely not to look where his talents might have been appreciated a bit more.

He asked for permission to interview with the NFL. BC said "no". He did anyway, BC Fired him. I may be wrong, but if that's how it went down I applaud BC. He had a contract to coach there for X years, to interview for different jobs at X-Y (while a regular thing in that profession) leaves the university the ability to say "No" and fire with cause if he did. I thought it was legit

On principles alone, it was a good move by them. If their goal was to win games, though, it was a very stupid move.

Besides firing a fairly able coach, it also makes it really tough to find the next guy when you make it clear that you won't be able to explore any career advancement while at that school.

I think the big difference in the coaching profession is that once you're the head coach, there's no room for promotion. If you want to move up, you have to change schools/teams. If a school isn't going to pay big money, and also will fire a coach at the first sign of interest in another position, its basically a dead end job, and no coach serious about his career would waste his time there.
