1. If you knew me, you'd know how rarely I agree with most people's theories of what is biased and what is not.No mention that the reason he got fired was that he ran the program into hell and his infamous being carried off the field. Made it sound like McGee just out of the blue fired him for no reason and with no severance. And it was the effing lead story.
When something bad happens there "oh we don't follow CU." but when something good happens "oh it's news people need to know it."
What two coaches fought? Lawing I could see. Special teams player?It wasn't that bad of a story and pretty much told what we already knew. Looking back, the turning point came in the early stages of the 1997 season when we barely beat UCF, lost our ass in Athens and then had two asst. coaches duke it out at the airport after MSU routed us. Not to mention Anthony Wright shattering his knee in Knoxville.
The scandals of the 1998 season SHOULD fall at Brad's feet and their is one certain special teams player whose name makes me want to puke. Spurrier's quitting on us upsets me more than anything the Scotts have accomplished.
I always thought that was very immature of him. A grown man with hurt feelings doing that because his life didn't go as it should have. If I recall his son Jeff scored on a trick play against us and seemed to be angry that was fueled by his own insecurities. I'm not a clinical psychologist but I did go to a Holiday Inn ExpressBrad Scott sealed his fate with Carolina and it's fans by letting his players carry him on their shoulders after beating his former players. Also his negative recruiting really hurt us. He made his bed with us and I could care less about him or his family. I'm sure the son will end up like the old man, a snake in the grass!
The worst coach in Carolina history.
Just curious - how much less could you care about Brad & family?Brad Scott sealed his fate with Carolina and it's fans by letting his players carry him on their shoulders after beating his former players.

They never had talented enough writers to profit with positive articles so they always stuck with negative sensationalism to generate sales.I went in one of those bar bathrooms yesterday where they post up the sports page and saw this. I didn't read the text of the story but the layout/appearance of it seemed designed to piss USC fans off...it was like this huge thing that took up 3/4 of the page with headline something like "How Scotts' lives got way better after USC" or something like that. Like I said, didn't read the story so I'm surprised to find some somewhat positive reaction in here. When I saw it I was like wow I can only imagine how mad FGF is haha
I think Brad Scott is a really good person and probably his family too. He won us our very first bowl game, but he also had, what I believe, was our worst team in history, the 1-10 season. At least there were some competitive games in the 0-11 season. Anyway, it didn't bother me that he went to Climpson after we fired him. He needed a job and his close buddy was the head coach. It just made sense.
He recruited well but many of the top recruits never made in into school or were gone within a year. Burnham might not have been the right hire as DC, but explain your sources in the slowing down of the offense. NEVER heard that one before.I've never had any hatred in my heart for Brad Scott. He came along at a time when we really needed some hope and optimism....and excitement! He brought us that. He also brought us record setting offenses and our very first bowl win. He was on a roll....period. Where it all fell apart was with his relationship with Wally Burnham, who I blame just as much as Scott for the sharp decline after a nice spike in the program.
Scott was best friends with Burnham, and it's Burnhams defenses that were getting abused. He complained to Scott that scoring so quickly was the reason for the ineptitude of the defense. Scott changed his FSU quick strike scoring offense, for which we hired him, and went a different more deliberate direction with the offense. This was the beginning of the end.
In my mind it's a case of what could have been. I will agree he did himself no favors for his actions after the firing for sure. Classless.
And someone posted negative about his recruiting, but he actually recruited VERY VERY well. Check out the roster the 2-3 years after his departure and you will see Holtz winning with a cupboard full of Scott's recruits. +
He may have cut his nose off despite his face, but he left us in good shape for a number of years afterwards.

I never considered Wally Burnham. What I do remember was that he wanted faster OL and he was bring in kids who were 230 pounds. He did get John Abraham, Jamar Nesbit and A1. His defense had Wally Burnhams son as MLB.I've never had any hatred in my heart for Brad Scott. He came along at a time when we really needed some hope and optimism....and excitement!

I guess I should give my 2nd grade teacher more props because she 'did' get me prepared for the 3rd grade.He did get us our very first ever bowl win so you have to give the man credit for that.
I remember Wally. He was the only player on that defense who put out a lot of effort. He was the only one who seemed to care if USC won.I never considered Wally Burnham.

It was a great class, unfourtantly, none worked out. Several career ending injuries, etc depleted most of that class. Holtz had no OL his first year. Several DL were converted to play OL.Best O Line class in the country? Explain
Sorry, his sons name was Shane and he is coaching at Rutgers. The team at the time had no heart. If we got down by more than a touchdown we kind of gave up.I remember Wally. He was the only player on that defense who put out a lot of effort. He was the only one who seemed to care if USC won.
Yeah, tks. Had a brain neuron misfire. Good for Shane.Sorry, his sons name was Shane and he is coaching at Rutgers.
Most fans had a huge problem with the victory ride, me included.Yeah, tks. Had a brain neuron misfire. Good for Shane.
I don't think that BS being carried off field was such a big deal. What was he supposed to do? He had a new school he had to be loyal to. I liked the way he talked to team after first being hired at USC. Wish we could have gotten a coach like what'shisname that Ga hired from FSU.
