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?
September 20th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
I'm guessing GERG or Scott Shafer? But I don't understand the reference either.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:27 PM ^
Are we speaking in code?

Thats better, thank you.

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.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:50 PM ^
How did that name come about? This is the first I've heard that the creature had a name . . .
September 20th, 2011 at 2:55 PM ^
I had to do some digging, but came up with this.
September 20th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
where are the trees?
September 20th, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
Instead of GERG? Good choice.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
September 20th, 2011 at 2:33 PM ^
"Thanks, I just had it stuffed"
Those over 30 should get the reference...

Scroll down a little for the embed...we posted at the same time.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:50 PM ^
Same time, but embed video trumps.

to waste everyones time reading another useless post from me, but i was on 99 points and could wait not another minute to get to the century mark.
Yes, I now feel elite.

there's nothing you could do to make this thread title more informative or easier to understand.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:32 PM ^
Thank you. I don't like uninformative thread titles either.

But perhaps there is a beaver shortage at BC. Can never have too many beavers.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:52 PM ^
GERG to be a HC after his debacle at Syracuse and Michigan.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:58 PM ^
It's BC. They WANT to be bad. Why else would they fire the first coach to ever make them relevant?
September 20th, 2011 at 3:23 PM ^
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!
September 20th, 2011 at 3:46 PM ^
"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.

Dr. Vorax shall indeed return one day but that day is not upon us.

The Dr. Vorax mention reminds me of Dr. Remulak. Does anyone remember that guy that called into the Howard Stern show years ago and simply repeated: "I am Doctor Remulak" over and over?
