Eustachy new coach @ southern miss

[smazza]

Beastie-by his own admission he has had an alcohol problem for a long time.

a married guy shouldn't be drinking with coeds.

VG- i don't think it is so risky.

i'm not sure i agree with some of your assessments and i personally would not be very eager to support a coach like eustachy or oleary who are just looking for a handout from a mediocre college team to rebuild their sullied reputations. i would think going into the big east we wouldn't have to stoop that low to find a good coach (especially for basketball).

i don't see why people are so eager to defend eustachy by trivializing what he did. when you're a head coach for a nationally recognized university you don't subscribe to the same norms as the average person. you are held in a higher esteem and you must act accordingly. same can be said about being a lawyer or doctor, if you're in a position of power and respect its your responsibility to act in a manner that's becoming of someone in your position.

Hey, Eustachy, that story about the time you & your friends did it with the sheep. I want to party with you, cowboy.

What he did was indeed a mistake for a college coach but...hardly like gambling or violence.  If he has cleaned up his act there is nothing wrong with this hire, at all, in fact it is the best USM could possibly do.  It's somewhat risky but when you want a chance to be great you give a great guy a second chance.  Good move by USM AD.

I would have hired Eustachy here in a second... he'll building something good at USM, although he would have partied better in Tampa.

a drunk!

but a very successful coach.

you could have built sobriety and non coed partying clauses into his contract. even hired a sitter if he is about to win big. so doable but not perfered

hope he does well at usm  

and spanks calapari year in and year out

mazza, George W. is also a recovering alcoholic and they let him be the leader of the free world.  We're talking about a college basketball team,  a crappy college basketball team at that.  He used some poor judgement but appears to be recovering.  Everybody deserves a second chance.

beastie bull-  i said he was a great hire

Apparently CUSA has become the home for coaches gone astray ......... O'Leary, Price, Eustachy.
