Rick Minter Wouldn't Have Fired Himself

FancyFootball44 · 01-23-2007, 01:23 PM

I can't believe this guy!

His first public words after his dismissal from ND:

Minter, whom Irish coach Charlie Weis replaced over the weekend with New York Jets assistant Corwin Brown, all but shrugged.

“I understand because I’ve been in his shoes,” said Minter, the head coach at Cincinnati from 1994-2003. “You have to make some hard decisions. Would I have let me go if I were in his shoes? No. But I think Charlie will be more comfortable with somebody from the Belichick-Parcells family. Charlie has brought in a young guy who doesn’t have my experience. But he’ll be more comfortable with him.”

You gotta be kidding me. If he wouldn't have fired himself, he would be downright stupid. No wonder he's not a head coach anymore. And no, Brown does not have your experience. Thank goodness. Because
your experience sucked.

ok /rant. sorry.

do we have to listen to another Notre Dame story....blah blah blah....blah blah

j/k fancy - what a sore azz....some guys just can't take getting the boot

memo to Minter, next time man up and exit gracefully..... now he may have burnt a bridge that could of probably led to another gig.

I was about to say....GEESH!

Yeah, he probably burned a bridge with that comment. It's obvious his D wasn't working... giving up 1,100 yds in 2 bowl games (not to mention the other big games)... come on now. He HAD to know it was coming.
Bow out gracefully, accept your system wasn't working there, and be done with it.

What a tool. The Golden Domers need to get a lot more out of their defense... Minter simply didn't cut it, move on, be a man.

Minter was a pretty good DC for us at USC, granted it was only one season. I guess you ND boys need some more speed.

He's obviously not bad or else he wouldn't get jobs. He just wasn't working there. He doesn't need to be all sour grapes about it though. :shrug:
