Have Imagination. Coach at Georgia Tech.: Defensive coordinator Rick Smith claimed that he played baseball and football for Florida State University. In reality, he was cut from the baseball team and never played football. (By the way, Georgia Tech is looking to hire some coaches, so if you vaguely remember playing sports in college and receiving a Master's degree, be sure to apply.)
Gailey wrote it off as a mixup that has never been cleared up. How exactly could that have been a 'mixup'?

I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like no one has ever lied embelished on their resume, as long as they are good coaches.

corpse, the problem is that coaches are supposed to be leaders of (wo)men, setting an example for those in their charge to aspire to. ha. ha ha. bwa ha ha ha. it's really that they are in high visibility positions and this sort of thing causes bad pr for the schools, which ends up in *lost revenue* from donors.

Most of whom have probably done the same thing :)

Ah, it looks like Sportsology did back up their servers. Welcome back. And remember to lock your doors.
