More likely some drunken Cards fan; a disheveled and puffy-faced jackass at the tail end of a two day bender. He’ll probably look a lot like this.

It’s gonna suck when Steve Bartman sneaks up there and steals the ball before Game 6 of the NLCS.

I wonder how Haden is going to find out he’s fired.

It’s hard to point to anything that’s gone smoothly for Pat Haden in the last few years.

“He could try fighting that decision in court...”

Does he have any chance if he did take it to court? I’d think that showing up to work drunk on multiple occasions (as reports have indicated) is cause for termination.

Lincoln Chafee seems like a more chipper, but approximately as confused, version of Tom Coughlin.

I agree with everything else you said, but a mid-season retirement is pretty much the definition of quitting on a team. If it’s his health, obviously that takes priority. Otherwise, I’m disappointed he’s not finishing out the year with his team.

I meant outside of Spurrier, Gamecocks football has never done much. They’ve been to 20 bowl games ever, and Spurrier’s taken them to nine of those.

OR cheering when a player is injured. That’s something else you do in Philly.

Yeah, but they wore their shorts long and some guy in Detroit gave them stuff. Pure evil.

I thought about that too. But it seems equally likely that the school was growing weary of the program’s rapid decline over the last 2 years and offered Spurrier the option to retire or be canned by year’s end.

Fans of the University State College (USC) football need to be worried.

If he is retiring halfway through the season, that’s not a good sign, I’m a little worried about his health.

You could essentially just print 2 copies of the same cover letter and resume. How convenient!

Decades from now, people will look at the fab 5 and go “what the hell did anyone think villianizing them?!”

So if you want a head coaching job at either USC or USC, send in those applications.
