"FSU's Leonard Hamilton Has anyone ever failed like this guy"

has as a coach and been paid more money. This guy might just be the all-time money winner based on failure per dollar. His record.... He coached up Oklahoma State for 4 years to a sterling.... 56-63 record. His best year was his 3rd at 17-13. So Miami comes along having restarted their hoops program 5 years earlier. Guess that 56-63 was just too hard to pass up. At Miami, after 8 years he gets his team to the NCAA's (It was an 8 year plan, afterall) and he signs a new 7 year, $5 million deal with UM. Then goes to the NCAA's again. So he's got a 10 year record at Miami of 144-147 and overall of 200-210. Now remember, in college you get to schedule about 10 complete nobodies like High Point and Belmont. So in order to have a losing season you have to lose more than 15 of the other 20 remaining games. And Leonard-lose has managed just that. Next, along comes Mike Jordan and the Washington Wizards. They like Lenny so much the pay Miami about $1 million buyout and give him a 5 year deal worth $10 million. So Leonard goes pro and parlays his light running 210-200 college record into ...... a buff.....19-63. .231 winning percentage.... and GONE. Fired. Len goes home with his NBA $10 million and 219-273 overall record and waits by the phone...... And who comes along?......... semi-state. Dave Hart to the rescue..... Anyone remember that Semi-alum-president, Chalie Barnes', article about how semi-genius AD Hart "outwitted" the Tulsa AD for the services of Steve Robinson? I just wonder what the Dave Hart thought process was on this Hamilton hire...... Hart: "Let's see. 56-63 at Okie State. Good. Good. 144-147 at Miami. Very good. 19-64 in The NBA. Super. Overall 15 year record..... 219-273. Great. I think we found our guy. Wonder if we can get him for $800,000 per?" So Loser-Leonard starts again at FSU...... He's 1*-6 in The ACC. (The * is for the remarkable officating at games end, allowing them to beat ACC pwerehouse Clemson at home for this lone ACC win.) With 9 more ACC games left plus the ACC Tourney another losing season is assured for Losing Lenny...... Hart: "Note to self.... give Lenny a raise so he doesn't run off to DePaul. Raise for Lenny. Raise for Lenny." So Lenny's been "coaching" for 16 seasons now. (Note: The use of the word coaching concerning Lenny's record is not meant to disparage such real coaches as Ray Goff, Curley Hallman and the last 8 guys on the sideline of any Vandy football game.) Coach 'em up Len and don't forget to tell those semis... to give 110% and there's no "I" in team, maybe Hart will give you another raise.
