    Oh, get over yourself. Posting an unconfirmed rumor on Bleacher Report does not qualify as "whatever means necessary to feed your family", taking a menial job doing backbreaking labor for minimum wage is.

    I'm very sorry that you're out of work and apparently struggling, but I've known people who've actually demeaned and killed themselves to do "whatever is necessary to feed their family", and putting your little Freeze bleacher report scoop in the same category as their sacrifices is both insulting and ludicrous.

    Just FYI when people on here (or elsewhere) refer to their "family," they usually mean their kids, not their parents.

    You're at Bleacher Report, you're not a journalist. You are a slideshow curator.

    There was a reason the other thread was locked. Knock off the back and forth on the Bleacher Report stuff, please.

    @darren rovell With buyout, Ron Zook will make about $7.5 million over last 3 seasons ('09-'11). That's $468,750 per win (16 wins)

    Where would be the appropriate place to pose the question I posed just before the thread was locked? It's a legitimate question, one I asked seriously, and I wondered if anyone had the answer. Fair game to ask again somewhere else on the board, or should I not bother?

    Oddly enough, the Porter firing surprises me. Clearly the administration doesn't realize they are Memphis. Any coach that could make Memphis successful isn't going to be interested knowing they just whacked a former BMOC after two years. I'm not saying Memphis was close to turning a corner, but unless there was off-field stuff, you don't sack a coach after two years. And if you can afford to can a coach after two years - you probably could have gotten a better coach with a bigger salary in the first place.
    Good seasons and bad seasons don't happen overnight, they take years of effort and commitment, or the lack of same.
