:D (Mike Price Ex-Washington State Coach who quit the team a week before their bowl game in 2002 to join up with U of Alabama, who just lost a $10,000,000 contract for his conduct)

He asked at the press conference "Whatever happened to a 2nd chance?".....he used Bill as a role model but was shocked when it didn't work for him. :D

The fact that he abandoned his old employer just as they were reaching the culmination of all of their hard work, just to work for a bigger, better deal should've been an indicator of his moral alignment.

Couldn't agree more...I never harbored any ill feelings against Mike Price except during the Apple Cup every year when he made statements to the press that were not very becoming or professional of a Head coach (but hey, thats the state rivalry and I'm a Husky Fan, we're SUPPOSE to hate Mike Price!) but I really despised him when he bailed out on his team right before their bowl game....probably because he knew they were going to get beat good...and probably due to greed.

"yeah, he was throwing down money left and right on the girls. he even offered to buy me one for the night..." ;)

The scoop here abouts is that it was more like his 3rd chance. He'd already been warned about "inappropriate" behaviour before. Drinking with the students and all that.

So, is any employee that ever changes companies some immoral jerk that abandoned their employer?
Quit acting like the school is a victim. They signed him to a contract with a buyout clause and he exercised it. Nothing illegal or immoral about that. Given the quickness with which coaches -- even good ones that have positive winning percentages -- are fired these days, I can't blame any of them for seeking financial security through bigger, better deals.

Karma.

First rule of the road. When you leave the hotel room the girl leaves the hotel room.

Something I never thought of since I've never been in NEED of hiring sex...

this idiot is just sorry that he got caught.. its prolly not the first time he did this..

Very strange that we hold amateur football coaches to a higher standard than Presidents.
Nice culture...
-
oh no a football coach hanging out with strippers! say it isnt so.
He is just prepping his boys for the pros.

Yes, if its a seasonal business. An immoral jerk would be a flower shop employee that quits the day before a big wedding. Or a band conductor that quits just before the orchestra's big fund-raising concert. Or an actor that quits a movie production before the filming is over.
The school wasn't the only victim. What about the players? The fans? The myriads of others with a stake in the team?

All I said was girl Rip. I never said anything about paying.

So when is the appropriate time for a coach to leave, Gofaster? When is it morally acceptable for him to exercise his buy out that he has every legal right to exercise at any time he chooses? How is it morally acceptable for a fan, school or player to demand such loyalty from a coach that they must pass up a perfectly legal opportunity to better their and their families station in life?
Fact is, if it was up to the fans, players, schools, to decide when it was right for a coach to leave, then they would never leave -- until they had a losing season or two. Then their bellybutton would be out asap.
What is morally right in this situation is for the coach to do what is best for him and his family, and for the school, players and fans that the coach is leaving behind to be thankful for the time that they had the coach and to hope that his future turns out bright. What isn't morally right is for the school, fans or players to squeak and moan about a guy being immoral because he didnt stick with "the Team" until such time as they felt he should be fired.

The day after the bowl game. See Steve Spurrier's exit from the University of Florida.
Something tells me the Univ. of Alabama job would've still been available after the season was over. Believe it or not, Price's exit from one job into the Tide job cast a black eye on the Tide athletic program, and his recent escapade certainly didn't help either. I would expect the SEC would be a little tighter on their next audit visit.
As an incoming freshman football player, would I want to work hard for a coach that could be gone tomorrow to take a better-paying job, or one that's going to be there for the full season before leaving to take a better job? A smart player would take the latter option, and certainly have a better work ethic.

I am just glad the BOT and the University Pres fired him.. There was a big lobby too keep him anyway, and that would have been a terrible mistake.
