ubbulls98 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Did I read that correctly? He's the 2nd head coach to be plucked for an assistant position at Bama. I know it's Bama and SEC and all, but why would a HC willingly take an assistant job? Being fired is one thing, but stepping down to do that? I don't know if I could do it.

UB Horns Up Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) 2 hours ago, MKBullsfan said: Kind of don't blame him for leaving. Alabama assistant to the assistant coordinator job probably pays more than our head coaching position. This mentality is what is a generational difference today between my generation and generations before me. You don’t leave a head coaching job where you are your own man for the assistant to the assistant co coordinator because it pays more there is more important things than money it’s ridiculous. If you are a real leader and a real man you are your own boss not a second or third banana because it pays more. My generation would never do that I would live in a modest house around UB Stadium signing a lifetime of one year contracts because I believe in my own ability. The money doesn’t matter building UB Bulls football into a power house overtime matters not the money. Russ Salvatore didn’t get rich overnight. I watched his restaurant keep adding and adding over decades. Because people like Russ Salvatore are committed to making Western New York a better place. Ok he isn’t running to Manhattan because he can make more money. My Uncle Herman owned a restaurant and bar until the day he died on the West Side of Buffalo. Again he didn’t run away he made Western New York a better place. Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama and Eddie Robinson at Grambling those are real men and leaders. I don’t know what Maurice Linquist is but he certainly isn’t a leader of men. Something is seriously wrong with someone to leave $675,000 a year job with three years left for an assistant coaches job. Do people understand for that kind of money that is in Western New York? A coach could buy a nice modest Western New York house and a nice vacation cottage in Canada or the Southern tier. That is elite living in Western New York. I am sorry I don’t get it. UB Bulls football has a $7 1/2 million dollar athletic performance center going up and a $18 million dollar field house and this fool can’t win or be happy he is screwed up in the head if you ask me. There is no reason to leave UB Bulls football for an assistant coaches position that is nuts. UB Bulls football and basketball can be St Bonaventure Bonnies if they get a committed head coach like Mark Schmidt for 17 years. He makes a little over $1 million dollars and is happy as his own man because he is a leader and built a program that wins. Mark Schmidt doesn’t have to run away from Western New York like a coward in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls!

zigo230 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 See ya Mo, don’t let the door hit ya. I agree with the FCS route or the Lance method. This football team really needs a coach to come in whose been a successful head coach at a program somewhere else. Someone who isn’t learning on the job and understands how to lead young men and recruiting/staffing, etc. Obviously the transfer portal is big too so an understanding of that whole process. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horns up Agreed at least UB gets $750,000 from Alabama for that phony head coach that never really made a effort to engage with Western New York community completely the wrong hire for UB Bulls football always with one foot out the door in my opinion.

Take the opportunity now before you get fired next year and it isn't there... This is only about money in the sense that Mo is trying to preserve some future ability to become a P5 HC, which was not going to happen with the resumé he was building here.

Maybe direct your complaints about organizational resource distribution and AAA roster construction to the Indians, Mets, and Blue Jays front offices? The Bisons are a glorified public park downtown and are a fun summer cultural institution. And it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rma Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 13 hours ago, Jab said: The players will be ecstatic. He was a horrible coach and a worse person. Seems like there aren’t a whole lot of people saying anything to the contrary right now. Usually you see some former players come out and congratulate a coach on their new job, doesn’t appear this has happened or will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
