Forbes has taken his team to the NCAA tournament...we have not. Forbes will have his team ready in the SOCON tournament. Dick or not.
I bet Forbes doesn't do 20% of what CBR does to prepare young men for success AFTER their college playing careers are over. I'll take that every day over having a d*ck take us to the dance a couple of times.

I wonder what percentage of those 1 and 2 year player rentals etsu has come through there actually end up with some type of a degree from etsu?

Many many coaches have competency but not character (like any profession). In a win-at-all-cost culture competency gets the headlines. Sure folks are wired differently but character flaws show up. BR has both character and competency and again I hope he will be at Furman for a long long time.

“It was a disgraceful effort. Disgraceful to ETSU, the program we’ve built since I’ve been there.”

“I was doing everything I could to get them to go and they didn’t compete. I apologize to the people who came to the game and the people who wasted their time watching it on television. From Thursday to now is disgraceful. I won’t tolerate it and we’ll get it fixed.”


Now can any of us imagine Coach BR saying such things? While Coach isn’t afraid to express his disappointment and call-it-like-it-is after a flub-up, he’s careful never to belittle the players. He can also be counted on to share any blame, himself.

Any ETSU disgrace occurred after the game in the press-pool.

It’s Sunday. It’s a great day to be a Paladin fan and a great day to give thanks for our wonderful coach.
He made similar comments about his bench players after last week's Wofford loss. I guess he wants to make sure everyone knows it's not his fault his team sucks right now--it's just those no good lazy kids. Definitely makes BR look like even more of a class act.

We don't need Steve Forbes' example to remind us that we have a real class act in Bob Richey. Just spend a few minutes with Coach Richey and that's all you'll need.
Forbes and citadel's Duggar are cut from the same mold. (That's my perspective from observing both coaches during games.)

Forbes was fired at Tenn for lying. Served a one year show cause during which he couldn’t coach. That says a lot

Duggar might have a potty mouth (which he ought to clean up) but I’m not aware of any reason to doubt his integrity. The folks at VMI liked him and were sorry to lose him.

No credible comparison between the two in my mind.
