Well it IS all about the money

Paul Hewitt has decided to remain the Georgia Tech men's basketball coaching after he pulled his name from the pool of names in the St. John's head coach search. Hewitt said it was because his family was comfortable here, but come on. It is ALL about money.

Your family is really comfortable here? Didn't you say it was your mother that was the one that was upset with Mark Bradley after he "slammed" you by printing your record at GT? But I guess she is comfortable here, right?

No, Paul, the REAL answer is that you have a $7M golden parachute here at Tech and odds are St. John's would not give you the automatic roll-over clause that gives you an extra year and that extra cash.

I think that the contract isn't as juicy as the one is here, and if you HAD taken the job in New York (oh, wow think about how THAT media would treat you Paul. Mark Bradley would look like a swedish massage) and you had the same results that you had here with GT, you'd be fired but likely with FAR less of a severance package.

Let's be honest here Paul: it's about the $7M and you didn't want to leave that on the table. You'll take GT fans complaining about your program and I think secretly you WANT to get fired so you can wrap your arms around that money before you go back to a St. John's-type job. Money, Money, Money. And today you proved it.

But hey, I guess 2-14 next season will be fine. You'll be a lot closer to that $7M.

And quickly, I plan on writing MUCH more about this for my THE FLETCH column for Score Atlanta, but Urban Meyer, dude you were in the wrong for going after a reporter that ran a FULL QUOTE FROM A PLAYER (so he couldn't be accused of taking it out of context) and instead of yelling at the player for douching up his point (he was trying to praise the QB skills of new QB John Brantley, but it came off like he was insulting Tim Tebow), you yell at the beat writer and basically threaten his job (if you REALLY pulled his credential, the paper he works for would assign someone else and this guy would either be reassigned or fired), when he WASN'T IN THE WRONG.

He wasn't Urban and yet you blame him when you should blame the player or just sweep it all under the rug and pretend it didn't happen.

Oh, and Urban, if you really want to threaten someone, maybe you should remember that you have a bad heart that forced you to retire for 6 minutes. I thought Brandon Adams made a good point today on 790 The Zone: Urban said that if Deonte was his son, he (Urban) and the writer would be going at it right now. BA said that the reporter should have shot back, "I think you have enough of your own family problems." I say that if Deonte was in his family, he probably wouldn't know about it because he is more focused on football than his family. CLEARLY. Nice leave of absence. 2 weeks, if that?

Urban should apologize but he won't because Urban is a whiney dick. The nation is finally starting to realize that. Florida fans (like Scott Janovitz my radio co-host) will try and spin it that he is sticking up for his player, but his PLAYER was the one that messed up, not the reporter. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BEFORE YOU SAY IT NEXT TIME!
