Coaches Hot Seat Quotes of the Day – Friday, June 1, 2012 – Alexander the Great

“Alexander the Great, reflecting on his friends degenerating into sloth and luxury, told them that it was a most slavish thing to luxuriate, and a most royal thing to labor.”

And

“I do not steal victory.”

And

“Our enemies are Medes and Persians, men who for centuries have lived soft and luxurious lives; we of Macedon for generations past have been trained in the hard school of danger and war. Above all, we are free men, and they are slaves. There are Greek troops, to be sure, in Persian service — but how different is their cause from ours! They will be fighting for pay — and not much of at that; we, on the contrary, shall fight for Greece, and our hearts will be in it. As for our foreign troops — Thracians, Paeonians, Illyrians, Agrianes — they are the best and stoutest soldiers in Europe, and they will find as their opponents the slackest and softest of the tribes of Asia. And what, finally, of the two men in supreme command? You have Alexander, they — Darius!” Aledander addressing his troops prior to Battle of Issus

And

“Are you still to learn that the end and perfection of our victories is to avoid the vices and infirmities of those whom we subdue?”

And

“To the strongest!” After being asked, by his generals on his deathbed, who was to succeed him.

And

“There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”

The importance of America’s news media cannot be overemphasized in America even if most Americans don’t have a clue what it is like to live in a country without a free media….

Think about China which is now run by FASCISTS that torture, terrorize and try to control what their own people think and do in their lives

….and a member of the US news media Glenn Guilbeau of Gannett Louisiana is out with a column this morning that makes the Absolute Nonsense of LSU AD Joe Alleva and LSU head coach Les Miles about having to play Florida every year look Very Damn Stupid but then don’t tell that to Alleva and Miles which have spent two days on the beaches of Destin crying like babies to anyone that would listen:

Curley Hallman really won the 1993 SEC West Division, Glenn Guilbeau, Shreveport Times

“There is a reason most major college football coaches do not handle scheduling.

They would screw everything up.

If LSU coach Les Miles had been allowed to make his 2007 schedule, he would not have won a national championship. The last one for the Tigers would have been in 2003.

Miles said before the 2007 season that he did not agree with having to play Virginia Tech, which was a leftover return game from the 2002 season that LSU lost 26-8 under former coach Nick Saban. Miles did not like a game against a powerful team along with his Southeastern Conference schedule.

Virginia Tech was supposed to play in Tiger Stadium in 2003, but because of a lucrative television deal that came up it got out of the game until 2007.

Lucky thing for LSU and Miles. The No. 2 Tigers destroyed No. 9 Virginia Tech on Sept. 8, 2007, 48-7, and suddenly the nation began taking notice of LSU. Four weeks later, LSU was No. 1 in the nation and defeated No. 9 Florida 28-24 in the greatest game ever played in Tiger Stadium. That win also gave LSU serious clout in the human and computer polls for the rest of the season much like the win over Virginia Tech. This would be crucial later.

But if Miles was scheduling, that game might not have happened because Miles doesn’t want to play Florida either….”

Can we get a BIG AMEN for Glenn Guilbeau on Les Miles and other head coaches doing the scheduling for their teams because we ALL know that most head coaches would just put a lot of…

Coaches Hot Seat Quotes of the Day – Thursday, May 31, 2012 – Thomas Edison

“Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!”

And

“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”

And

“Discontent is the first necessity of progress.”

And

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”

And

“His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine.”

And

“One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But… I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.”

And

“I never did a day’s work in my life. It was all fun.”
