[NDdomer2]

Obviouslly he should have picked someone else.

But, at the very least, I think he needed to clarify further. My thoughts are there are very few men who have had as large of an impact on the history of man like Hitler did.

Now he lead these people to do terrible things and that certainly can't be commended, but it doesn't make the statement of him being a leader incorrect. Just not in the definition that is associated with the question/context.

lead·er
/ˈlēdər/
Learn to pronounce
noun
1.
the person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country.

By definition, Hitler was a leader. He did get a very large population of people to follow him, and he did it very efficiently and effectively. Outside of the hatred, killing, etc., there is probably something to be studied/learned from on his leadership style that could be incorporated into ones own leadership style.

I actually politely turned it down. I figured if my coaching career started at GVSU, eventually I would be labeled a BK kronie and i would never get my dream job.

Rocky Long is returning to New Mexico where he was HC from 1998 to 2008 as DC for new HC Danny Gonzales. Long stepped down in January at San Diego State, where he went 81-38 in nine seasons with four 10-win seasons in the past five. Gonzales spent the first 19 years of his coaching career working for Long at New Mexico and San Diego State.

I am in favor of all who praise Hitler to speak their minds and especially if they are moved to do so on this seventy-fifth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

I don’t think every job we see not go to Chip Long is necessarily him desperately trying to get each job. There are a lot of variables at play and that could include him not wanting to go all the way to Hawaii to live (sounds crazy to me but it’s a decision some people make). He could be wanting an analyst job and to chill for a year to recharge. I think Chip Long will do well again in the coaching business. I know he may have rubbed some players the wrong way with his style but he ran ND’s most prolific offense from a points per game perspective in years and maybe ever. He’s also an excellent recruiter especially of the tight end position. He’ll get hired when he finds the right fit. Maybe Hawaii wasn’t it

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/mark-dantonio-abruptly-resigns-as-michigan-state-coach-amid-allegations-of-ncaa-violations/

by Ben Kercheval CBSSports 25 mins ago

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio has stepped down from his position as the longtime coach of the Spartans program. Dantonio made the surprising announcement on Tuesday afternoon, just one day before National Signing Day takes over the college football world throughout the day on Wednesday. Defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Mike Tressel will serve as the team's interim coach.

The decision to step down comes at an interesting time. Dantonio is the subject of a lawsuit filed against the school by former Spartans staffer Curtis Blackwell, who is seeking more than $5 million in damages for wrongful termination. In the complaint, Blackwell alleges that Dantonio committed multiple NCAA recruiting violations. Among the allegations are that Dantonio orchestrated employment for the parents of two Michigan State football players with the school's mega-donor Bob Skandalaris. Additionally, the suit claims Blackwell accompanied Dantonio on an in-home visit for a five-star recruit when Blackwell wasn't authorized to conduct an off-campus visit.

Dantonio is serving as a witness in the case, and refuted these allegations in a Jan. 10 deposition. Lawyers for Dantonio have called the allegations "not only false, but totally gratuitous."

Blackwell lawyers detail allegations that MSU's Mark Dantonio committed multiple NCAA violations
Tony Paul, The Detroit NewsPublished 2:05 p.m. ET Feb. 4, 2020 | Updated 3:12 p.m. ET Feb. 4, 2020

Lawyers for a former Michigan State football staffer are alleging that head coach Mark Dantonio committed multiple NCAA violations while Dantonio's defense is calling the case a "sham," according to court documents filed in federal court in Grand Rapids.

One of the lawyers for Curtis Blackwell, Drew Paterson, filed a response to Dantonio's attorneys late Monday night, detailing the alleged NCAA violations.

Dantonio surprisingly retired Tuesday afternoon, just hours after details of the alleged violations went public.

Blackwell's lawyers allege:

►Dantonio orchestrated employment for the parents of two MSU football players, with mega-donor Bob Skandalaris, whose name is on the football facility.

►Dantonio had Blackwell accompany him on a Metro Detroit home visit of an unnamed five-star recruit, when Blackwell, in his role as director of college advancement and performance, wasn't authorized to conduct off-campus visits.

Dantonio said in his Jan. 10 deposition that Blackwell never did any home visits because it would've been an NCAA violation. He did recall Blackwell once traveling with him to see a recruit, but that Blackwell remained in the car.

In his filing, Paterson said Blackwell "is prepared to provide the court with an affidavit attesting" to the visit of the five-star recruit, which can be "verified by the former five-star recruit and his parents, who were also present during the recruiting visit."

Paterson and Blackwell declined to provide the recruit's name to The Detroit News.

As for the first claim, Dantonio, in his Jan. 10 deposition, said he never directed Blackwell to talk to Skandalaris about employment for family members of "high profile recruits," but he acknowledged that family members were hired — and all were approved by MSU's compliance department, Dantonio said.

Blackwell's lawyers dispute that, citing a Jan. 21 deposition by MSU compliance officer Jennifer Smith, who said she "did not recall the compliance office approving any such arrangements."

The names of the high-profile recruits in question were blacked out in Paterson's filing, which included a new-to-the-public portion of Dantonio's deposition transcript.

Lawyers for Dantonio, ex-athletic director Mark Hollis and ex-president Lou Anna K. Simon — all being sued by Blackwell for wrongful termination — call the NCAA allegations "not only false, but totally gratuitous," according to an email from Dantonio attorney Thomas G. Kienbaum to Blackwell attorneys Tom Warnicke and Paterson.

Paterson made vague NCAA-violation claims in a motion filed last week responding to the lawyers for two MSU Police detectives — whom Blackwell is suing for wrongful arrest, and seeking up to $5.5 million in damages. The detectives' lawyers have petitioned to depose officials with Blackwell's football camp, Sound Mind Sound Body.

"We demand that you withdraw the motion," Kienbaum wrote to Paterson. "We reserve the right to ask for sanctions based on the fact that you chose to malign our clients."

Things have gotten testy between the counsel for Blackwell and the counsel for Dantonio and Co., with Dantonio's lawyers petitioning the court to have the case thrown out, Paterson fined and Paterson suspended from practicing law.

Dantonio's lawyers cite "continued, ongoing misconduct by Blackwell and his counsel" in calling for the sanctions on Paterson, saying with the NCAA-violation claims he made public "false, scandalous, and wholly unsupported accusations."

"This sham should not be allowed to continue," Dantonio's lawyers continued. They have repeatedly chided Blackwell and his lawyers for an excessively drawn-out discovery period. They claim information has been sought that's not relative to the case.

Dantonio's lawyers say this is the latest in a pattern of inappropriate courtroom behavior for Peterson, citing previous cases in which he was reprimanded.

Paterson was admonished by a federal judge and fined $10,000 last year when he made public MSU Police Det. Chad Davis' deposition transcript, despite an agreement between the two sides that the deposition would remain sealed. Paterson has called that an innocent mistake. A judge quickly sealed Davis' deposition, though many reporters already had accessed and downloaded it.

Paterson, to The News, called Dantonio's lawyers' claims "frivolous and meritless."

"It is apparent that Coach Dantonio and his legal counsel have a problem with telling the truth," Paterson said, adding he believes Dantonio might have perjured himself when he said the employment agreements were approved by compliance. "I believe Dantonio may have committed perjury because he testified that he never had Blackwell accompany him to a recruit's home during a recruiting visit when there is evidence that proves otherwise."

Tension started building between the parties late last month, when lawyers for Blackwell requested to depose Dantonio for another hour and five minutes, since his Jan. 10 deposition was cut off at 5 hours and 55 minutes, short of the federally mandated seven hours. Dantonio's lawyers have declined to set up a future deposition, saying Dantonio was only required to appear for one day. Dantonio's lawyers claim Blackwell's lawyers wasted a significant amount of time Jan. 10 with irrelevant questions and excessive breaks.

Only select portions of Dantonio's deposition have been made public, but nothing on the recruitment of Auston Robertson, who had a long history of sexual misconduct before MSU accepted him. He's now serving up to 10 years in prison for rape.

Blackwell worked at MSU from 2013 until May 2017, when his contract wasn't renewed for what Dantonio called "philosophical differences." Dantonio, while on a train in Italy, called Blackwell to let him know he wasn't being retained. Dantonio, in his deposition, cited "friction" between Blackwell and the rest of the football department; said NCAA rules had changed regarding camps, which limited Blackwell's effectiveness; and said he had an opportunity to hire longtime NFL executive Sheldon White, who was more than capable of filling Blackwell's responsibilities.

Blackwell continues to say he was made the "fall guy" following a 2017 on-campus party where three MSU football players allegedly sexual assaulted a female. MSU Police accused Blackwell of obstructing the investigation, which included more than 100 witness interviews and eventually led to pled-down convictions and removal from the team for the three football players. Blackwell has said MSU was eager to make a big statement regarding sexual misconduct under the cloud of the Larry Nassar scandal.

Neither side has expressed an interest in settling the lawsuit, which was originally filed in November 2018.

MSU officials didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Somehow I doubt Venables finally gives up his seat at the right hand of the Dabo for the MSU gig. Also doubt if there is any question about Dantonio's actions that they go with a Dantonio guy in Narduzzi.

I don't think Venables leaves while he has two sons playing football at Clemson.

Tyler Venables and Jake Venables are both at Clemson. Tyler is just a freshman. His $2.3M now is the highest salary for a DC in the country (Aranda now a HC) and he’d be the 60th highest paid HC in the country right now. I don’t think he’s leaving over the next 4 years and then maybe he’ll start looking for a job that he wants cause yes, he’ll probably be able to select the job he wants. Dabo’s turned Clemson into an amazing place to live and work for coaches and I’ve heard his staff absolutely loves it there which is why so many stay for so long. Jeff Scott got $2.5 per year for 5 years to be a first time HC and finally he left. I don’t think Venables is gonna go.

Makes me wonder if BV even wants to be a head coach one day. At 2.5mil per year and with a coach that looks to be there a long time, he is in a great position to just enjoy his job and the cash it comes with. Not everyone wants to be a head coach. At that level of pay, money is all relevant anyway.

From articles I’ve read, he seems like a guy who probably wants to be a HC one day but he’s not impatient. He could work at Clemson for the next 15 seasons and retire or take a HC coaching job eventually. At this point he’s really a master of his own fate. Also, he’s got two younger daughters so he may want to see them grow up in Clemson, SC and leave when he’s an empty nester. Lots of variables and we’ll see.

Isn't the consensus that Alabama will go to get Dabo when Saban retires? Maybe BV figures Saban can't have more than a few seasons left and the Clemson job may open up?
