One game shouldn’t make a coaching career

Houston Nutt’s last game — win over #1 LSU
Dennis Franchione’s last game — win over rival Texas
Bill Doba’s last game — win over rival Washington

All three of those men have resigned or been fired within the last week.

Dan Guerrero, are you listening? You can fire Karl Dorrell even if UCLA beats USC on Saturday. Let the overall body of work be more important than just one game.

Links of the Day

I’m not the only one who thinks that the UCLA/Oregon game may have been the worst game ever. (Rumors and Rants)

Johan Santana could be headed to the Yankees. Yeah, no one saw that one coming. Next you’re going to tell me Torii Hunter went to the Angels. (Babes Love Baseball and Twins Territory)

The Cubs have re-signed Kerry Wood to a deal that actually makes sense. Wow. (Bugs & Cranks)

Cooper Manning is better than Eli Manning. (Hugging Harold Reynolds)

There is no such thing as a moral victory in sports, including for the Philadelphia Eagles’ near win over the Patriots. (Larry Brown Sports)

My favorite baseball quote ever. Is it really still November? It seems like an eternity since baseball ended. (Center Field)

Two Torii Hunter links. USA Today did a great story detailing how the Hunter signing happened, and Sabernomics thinks the money in the Hunter deal was about right, and I hope they’re right.
