October 19, 2011
That time of year
It is already mid-October, the time of year when colleges with failing football programs start looking to make coaching changes. A few weeks back New Mexico rid their program of Mike Locksley, and now Tulane University has announced that football coach Bob Toledo has resigned. Tulane was off to a 2-5 start with blow-out losses to Duke and Army.
University of Minnesota and Tubby Smith denied by Minnesota Court of Appeals
The Minnesota Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of an assistant basketball coach who believed he had been hired by the Minnesota basketball program only to have the offer withdrawn. Jimmy Williams left his assistant coaching position at Oklahoma State to take a similar position at Minnesota, only to find out Minnesota coach Tubby Smith did not have the authority to hire him.
The Court of Appeals ruled that the University of Minnesota and Tubby Smith must pay Williams $1 million. Minnesota and Smith had asked the Court of Appeals for a new trial, but were denied by the appeals court.
