[lionpride90]

Anyone know anything about him?

 

[jim cummings]

To get to the other side?

He's young with a pretty good resume. Certainly appears ready to take charge of an athletic department. Lots of work to do at BC. But if he can get football and basketball on track, he'll be a hero. Probably needs to make coaching changes in both sports. But other sports are actually performing well and a major facilities upgrade plan is already in place, so pretty good time to take over.

Promotion, more money. Need any more reasons?

Boston vs. Columbus....if you were making $1 million + which city would you prefer to live in?

As a current Boston College MBA student who moved from western PA to the Boston suburbs, it's crazy how much college athletics plays second fiddle to pro teams around here. The bar will be lower at BC than at O$U. Hoping the football team can start making some noise.

BC and college sports have been second fiddle in Boston for a long time. But BC has been able to be successful in football and basketball, which can create a good level of interest. The biggest issue has been bad coaching hires and lousy scheduling in FB. The fact that the 4 pro teams have had unprecedented success at the same time, while BC struggled, has really affected attendance and interest. The right coaches can turn the tide. Jarmond needs to be aggressive and make the right hires.

BC can be a terrific job for AD's and coaches if the President and BOT invest in the programs. They are finally building an Indoor Football Field and new weight room, all first class and all with private donations. It's a tough place to build facilities with union cost doubling all construction cost and nitwit neighbors trying to stop any and all construction.

I have no idea why BC hired a guy from the football factory. The two schools could not be more different if every respect. The job pays $700,000 per year and that is why MJ took it. I do expect him to turn the hoop program into a top 20 team given his hoops background. BC had a good teams under Davis, Williams, O'Brien and Skinner. No reason they should be as horrible as they are now.

HA - The answer is the same whether it's $1 or $1,000,000!

There's a Costco in Columbus.

Location wasn't a major determinant. Jarmond would have gone to Starkville, MS if he had gotten the job there.

By Frank Leahy's ghost, be great to see BC surpass ASWP in both football and basketball. Good luck Jarmond.

agree, but another way to look at it, 1mil goes a lot further in Cbus then Boston.

Urban pulled his job to give it to a 5 star rated AD

Boston has much better looking women....

I was in Barbados riding in a van when a chicken crossed the road in front of us. So I asked the kindly old gentleman driving for us - why did the chicken cross the road? He said that there was probably some food or something over there.

It's where the Colonel ain't.

I wonder if the chicken crossing the road joke is even a thing in Barbados. If not, I can imagine the conversation the driver had with his wife when he got home. "Today I gave a ride to this guy who I think was an American. A chicken crossed the road ahead of us. This guy asks why as if I can read the mind of a chicken. I didn't want to be rude so I told him there must have been food over there. What I really wanted to say was, 'How the hell should I know?' "

I'm sure you're right. They were so polite and friendly there, they would never say anything which would sound improper. It's a great island in the old British tradition.
