Larry Eustacie (sp?) toasting his team's loss by chugging beer and licking on a few chubby college coeds.
Mike Price...Rolling the tide with a Dee Snyder lookalike, then footing her $1000 room service bill.
Rick Neuheisel...Gambling on college hoops, lying about interviewing for the 49er job, etc...
Of course these aren't criminal offences and probably wouldn't get any of us fired, but I would think they would understand they have to act with a little (OK, a lot) more discretion, being in the national spotlight and working at public institutions with kids. At first I thought these firings were overreactions, but then I thought maybe there is more at stake, like image, and reputation. College sports is all about winning, TV contracts, and betting pools. But it's good to see that schools are not looking at is as a win at all costs situation, as these 3 schools fired proven, successful coaches.
Of course in WA it's been big news lately, with UW and WSU firing their coaches. Anyone have any thoughts they want to share?
