Jim Delany wants the power to fire coaches

[GoldenIsThyFame]

What an arrogant @$$.

Jim Delany wants the right to fire coaches whose actions embarrass the Big Ten | Dr. Saturday - Yahoo! Sports



Oh and the coaches aren't tooo happy about it either:

Big Ten coaches blast Big Ten proposal - CBSSports.com

"What?" asked one Big Ten coach when I asked if he'd heard the proposal. He subsequently told me he had not. So I explained it. Then he responded.

"Are you f-cking kidding me?" he said.

"Penn State had an awful scandal because it had one man [Joe Paterno] who had too much power. Is that right?" one coach asked. "So the way to fix that is to give another man [Delany] too much power? Does that make any sense? It takes some kind of arrogance to even suggest that."

I don't know the answer to this, but doesn't he already have the right to suspend them? Leave it to the actual schools to do the firing. I can see him having the right to punish/suspend a coach in his conference, but not fire them...too much power

 

[ShakeDown]

Wow, this is ridiculous.

Never going to happen. No way the ADs give up that much power. Delaney will want to be able to fire other conference commissioners next. SMH.

If this ever happens i hope ND stays clear of any conf with that insane rule

Wonder if anyone thought about asking OSU President Gee about his thoughts on Delany firing coaches.

This wouldn't be the same Jim Delany who accepted a "date" with a young woman in exchange for not disclosing recruiting violations at Ole Miss, would it?
