This guy might actually be the single most classless no account individual amongst all head coaches. And right up there as the most narcissistic.

Gotta admit, I laughed my ass off at this as well.

I loved one particular bit of snark I saw earlier ... speculating how long it would be before the local paper in Nashvegas has an expose detailing some of his emails with a few of his more "suspect" players.

If this guy ain't as dirty as they come, I'd be downright shocked.

I think his even dumber move was, after the recruiting poaching he's done and not really having many friends left there with how this went down, taking out an ad thanking the community but having an enormous picture of himself smiling taking up half the ad.

Reports out there that Mason is leaving Stanford to become Vanderbilt's next head coach.

Wasn't that known even when he was at Maryland? Or am I confusing him with Mike Locksley?

Jon what was your opinion of his overall tenure in Atlanta?

He has done some good things quickly at Clemson, and is pushing some of our facilities initiatives quickly through the pipeline..but he has also introduced debt to a booster program that has always bank rolled facilities projects...and then...this.

More of a money guy (He sure likes to spend it, is at least okay at finding it) than a people guy or good judgment guy.

I guess the best thing I can say about him from my point of view is that he will make a hard decision (Hewitt) but only if he sees it hurting his cash flow.

To add to that, he does a lot of the little things right. He'll help facilities for your Olympic sports for example.

The biggest criticism at GT was that he pretty much single-handedly botched the NCAA investigation and turned what would have maybe, maybe been a slap on the wrist into a probation with games "lost" situation.

RKG is usually the center of that fanfare, so someone else just needs to step up.

Word has been going around that Tosh Lupoi has been cleared by the NCAA, which is also good news for Sark:

And as it so happens, Cal still has a spot open on their staff.

The conspiracy theory is that Mora somehow leaked this to the LA Times to keep Tosh from following Sark (and to make him too toxic for Petersen to keep).

The word I've heard though is that the leaker was another track coach at Basham's high school (not the one quoted in the article).
