Weasel coach watch..."What he said."

This Sports Illustrated article about Bret Bielema possibly taking the Nebraska job two years after moving out of the Big Ten to play with "the big boys" in the SEC (where he's 9-15 in two years)....yeah, Ms. Graham-W is as right as always.

Weasel.

Following Football follows TMQ's immutable law of Weasel Coaches: If you hire someone who's in it only for himself, you get someone who's in it only for himself. If you hire a Bobby Petrino, a Lane Kiffin, or any other coach who's willing to sneak around behind the back of his current job to talk with you about yours?...Don't be surprised when he stabs you in the back in a couple of years, too. It's no different than having an affair...the first thing you learn about a woman/man who will cheat or lie to be with you is that they're a cheater or a liar. Great way to start a relationship. 

And it's no different when hiring coaches.
