Did anybody do a Weiner pulling out joke yet?

Sorta:

you shouldn't just pull out like that

[Bull94]

No need to be overly dramatic. The guy had to choose between a secure job where he could spend the next 20 years and a coaching profession with extremely long hours, lots of travel, and the very real possibility of having to hop from job to job all over the country for the next twenty years.

It isn't about being a risk taker. It's about realizing that money isn't the most important thing in life, and that you already have the life you want. Kudos to Weiner. The upside is that if this was handled well USF gained a strong proponent in the high school coaching ranks.

For all those of you whining, this might put Blackwell back in play.

But it was unprofessional.

the guy had second thoughts. big deal. I give him credit for admitting his mistake and correcting it.

Kudos to Weiner?  Are you serious?  This has nothing to do with wanting to stay in a secure job... no one would fault him for that.  The issue is that you accepted a job, let the school publicly announce it (and no doubt use it as a recruiting pitch), and then backed out.  End result is much public embarrassment to the people that offered you the job in the first place.  Terribly, terribly unprofessional.

Very unprofessional for a guy everyone has nothing but praises for. Let's hope he hypes USF in the locker room more than ever now.

 

We need to get these spots filled and end this circus... 

[Paisa el Toro]

Mviusa, you joke about that...but you'd be surprised at how powerful and connected that South Tampa community is. It wouldn't shock me at all to hear that they played a role in bringing him back. That area has no love for USF.

 

 

You may not be too far off with your speculation, Hem. There's a lot of Gators and 'Noles that have influence in that part of town,

please. talk about overly dramatic.

 

I suppose instead of correcting his mistake he should have just kept his mouth shut and taken the job. been miserable doing it so that you wouldn't think he was unprofessional.

give me a break. there are plenty of Bulls here too.

No, he should have taken the issues under consideration before he took the job.  This is something a 17 year old waiting tables at a restaurant does, not a "beloved" and "classy" professional.

All anyone will remember about this episode is that he chose Plant over USF. Doesnt matter the specifics, that's what will be taken away from this.
