How would she deserve to be fired? At the time, she was the winningest coach at BC not named Jerry York. She exceeded all her performance goals and the player complaints were minimal.

MJ encouraging Kayla Jennings to illegally record a conversation with Foley is a special kind of stupid. Good riddance to that incompetent fuckhead. Never seen a guy get more credit for doing absolutely nothing than that guy.

Getting hired during the pandemic when many teams were not even playing would probably have been difficult.

It seems to me that Jarmond and Trainor did her dirty but I think it's too early to know for sure although the illegal recording is not a great look for BC. :clown hoes but yeah, anyone that thinks Jarmond will be decimated by this is definitely dreaming.

Foley’s lawsuit alleges that the University broke the first and fourth clause of Massachusetts General Laws, Title XXI, Chapter 151B, Section 4


This could be the most awkward description of a 151B claim in history.

EDIT for the record, what they meant to say was gender discrimination and retaliation.

Getting hired during a pandemic when teams weren’t even playing certainly would have been difficult, which is why I’m particularly interested in the other 19 months between June 2018 and March 2020 when one of the most successful women’s collegiate soccer coaches wasn’t touched by another program.

Jarmond is black and the lady soccer coach is a white woman. Jarmond is higher on the victim hierarchy, so the lawsuit will fail. The lady soccer coach needed to find a white guy to be the oppressor in her lawsuit - would have greatly increased her chances.

or you could admit that it's not unreasonable to wonder why she couldn't get hired from june 2018 - march 2020 - especially since that timeframe has to include at least one coaching carousel season for nag hoops. it's not a good fact for foley.

Maybe she wasn't looking for a job? I don't know her age but I do know she's old enough to be the coach when I was there and I graduated in 2000 and I don't remember her being young then either

I honestly have no idea..

I really don’t care who wins here. Trainor is a notorious scumbag and Marty, well, let’s just say you don’t get where Marty has gotten at a relatively young age without being a sleazebag. As for the coach, I am sure she was a pain in the ass.

With that said, the fact that she wasn’t hired by someone else is shitty evidence that she was the problem. Given the taped phone call, which looks like a big set up, would it surprise any of you if BC shit all over her to whoever would listen? The good thing about law suits is that we are going to find out a lot during discovery—lots of emails to our through, etc.

Meh. No one gives a crap about nags soccer… least among them Marty. He’s not going to spend any energy orchestrating the termination of a successful coach. Because, even if his hire wins multiple national championships, no one will care.

I’m willing to bet that the players came en masse to complain about “abusive” tactics and Marty was like “for fucks sake… the last thing I need is some sort of Mike Rice situation in a sport no one cares we play.” He then handed it over to HR and said “do whatever you want.”

The AC is a way station, a place you join on the relative cheap while attending the FLS diploma mill if you are too donkey Irish to get into the U Club. But the idea that one would still be there when you have procured enough cash to join an honest to goodness country club is beyond ridiculous. The AC is for children and irredeemable alcoholics.


You would have a more intimate view of the current membership since your cousin (iona prep graduate) works for the NYAC. :ace


Wait. Back that up for a moment. As you well know, one of the more shameful aspects of my extended donkey Irish family is the number of Iona Prep grads. Which particular cousin is an employee at the AC. I take it that it was the once promising hoopster turned tennis pro. The other two or three do not seem to have skill sets that would lend themselves to working at the AC—and seemed to be above that station in life at this point. The tennis pro also makes sense as his brother-in-law is your former classmate at Parkchester Prep and apparently a member at the AC. I believe the tennis pro also resides in New Rochelle and would thus be a prime candidate for employment at that pathetic island facility that always gave the Hollow tennis team a good chuckle when we steamrolled the AC in MITL matches. I believe my butler’s pool boy’s gardener used to play there.


Fordham Prep should thank your family for it was a certain IP alum converted FP father, member of the Hollow that influenced one of the best golfers to come out of the northeast in a generation to grace the halls of the Prep and I believe win 4 city titles in golf.

The brother-in-law and my fellow FLS/parkchester prep alum (not classmate) only has spousal privileges. His wife, your cousin, is now and has forever been the "member". I crashed a first birthday party for your first cousin once removed at the city house back when NYC was still a thing in February. Your uncle is found on the lawn of Travers Island most weekends. :ace


And a special thank you on my part to your cousin for endorsing my membership application 10 years ago. Of course, Mrs. Murt and I have moved on after they did almost irreperable damage to our butler's boat by not turning the battery on when they put it in the water, thus resulting in the bilge not pumping and the enging compartment filling with salt water. When confronted, their response was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Mrs. Murt also did not like the flower arrangements on the pool deck, particularly the ones that were just herb gradens which I can't be sure they weren't just plucking basil from the flower boxes and using that in their dinners.

I have heard they renovated and updated the Tiki Bar which was in desperate need of an upgrade, though generally speaking on the weekends that thing is crawling with Ginzos from New Rochelle (I can say that because I married a Ginzo) and kids from grammar school I hated who are children of members pretending they are WASPy when at best they are just a half step up from lace curtain Irish but only because they went to Miami OH or Holy Cross and not Manhattan or Fordham.


Four things:

1. I am surprised that Logi was not beaten and tossed out of the Christening after his "unfortunate" relationship with yet another of my cousins. I am fairly certain I could have collected a not unsubstantial bounty had I maimed you in the aftermath of that meltdown.

2. I doubt that the IP alum turned FP parent would even concede to having attended IP at this point. IP seems to be the school of choice for my various relations who resided in Yonkers during their high school years (with one or two exceptions who got into Regis). Despite some nostalgia for the City of Gracious Living, I think if you asked the IP alum, "in his mind, he was always at FP". Of course, I sometimes also think that he might feel the same way about our respective alma mater vis a vis Holy Cross.

3. I wish things were going better for the FP golfer. He is a nice kid, but Skip informs me that the general consensus amongst the golf cognoscenti at The Hollow is that he is unlikely to make it on the PGA Tour. I am told he was leading the Q School tournament for the MacKenzie Tour (the Canadian PGA), but the final round was cancelled and the tour has been shut down ever since. The general consensus, such as it is, is he will likely make the Web.com tour at some point and might be able to hang around the fringes of the PGA Tour if everything goes well. Don't know what that assessment is based on, but it is what it is. There is apparently some other junior phenom there now who is allegedly better than the FP kid was at the same age, but I have not seen him play.

4. Murt, you deserved what you got, putting on airs and taking your boat to Travers Island. The Yonkers Yacht Club is a far superior alternative and is where you and your boat belong. If you really want to get into the Long Island Sound, take your boat down the majestic Hudson, into the Harlem River and out through Hell's Gate like decent people do.


This aged well. :ace

Boston College has targeted former Miami athletic director Blake James to be the school's next AD, sources told ESPN.

An announcement of the hire is expected in the coming days.


James spent nearly 10 years as the athletic director at Miami before being dismissed in November as part of an overhaul that eventually included the firing of football coach Manny Diaz.

James would replace Pat Kraft, who left Boston College for Penn State in late April. Kraft's departure rattled the school, as it meant that third-year football coach Jeff Hafley would be working with his third athletic director in three years.

James brings a background in fundraising and ties to the northeast after serving as the athletic director at Maine from 2003 to 2010. He also brings a strong reputation in the athletic director, administrative and academic communities that Boston College relied on in its search.

A big focus of Boston College's search was finding a candidate with experience and staying power. James is highly regarded within ACC circles for his work pulling Miami through some difficult times, including the fallout from the Nevin Shapiro scandal. Boston College is also a private school in a league of primarily public schools, which gives the jobs some crossover.

Boston College is due $2.85 million for Kraft's departure, an unprecedented amount for an athletic director's buyout. The school also received a significant buyout when former athletic director Martin Jarmond left for UCLA in May 2020.

All candidates in the Boston College search were told that significant buyouts were going to be included, as Father William P. Leahy, the school's president, valued continuity in the athletic department after the quick tenures of Kraft (two years) and Jarmond (three years).

In James, Boston College would get a steady force who is wise in the ways of the ACC and can bring some stability to build for the long term.

Not sure what to thinking about this. He was just fired in November. Was considered a star before football never made it back to U status post-Nevin Shapiro.

Hired/Fired: Al Golden, Mark Richt (respect his privacy) and Manny Diaz.
Hired: Jim Larranaga

Found it shocking how much we make as a cottage industry for being a stepping stone for ADs.

that buyout money can help pay for a lot of scholarships.

hiring someone that a school in your conference fired does not feel like a proper fit (hjs/eepstein definition aside)
now in the street there is violence
and, and a lots of work to be done
no place to hang out our washing
and, and i can't blame all on the sun
good god we gonna rock down to electric avenue

None of his hires offend me - Golden didn't work out the Manny Diaz thing wasn't a great look but at the time of his hire he was a top DC....I don't see any Bates/Flip hires there anyways.

Meh... I take it as a positive. They only thing that really generates excitement here (post-shocker's bankruptcy freeze) is awfulness. So, the fact that no one noticed the hire of Greg Brown or Blake James just means that folks are generally supportive. I think the AD role at BC is less about purposely going out of your way to make terrible hires (Flip and Bates) and more about making sure BC is politically positioned in the next FB merry-go-round (where ex-jocks pretending to be corporate barrons are actively working to chase the bag and end college football).
