Tim Fitzgerald cost us Gary Patterson - What should be his punishment?

[Pete]

http://www.kansas.com/248/story/594998.html

Gail Patterson hasn’t spoken with her son since last week. She did, however, listen to his Friday call into a Fort Worth radio station and came away with a clear conclusion.
“Yes, he was angry,” she said. “I’d be very, very, very surprised if he ended up at K-State.”


She says "very" three &@#%ing times.  Three.


Is there any doubt that we have all been Fitz F^cked?  What sort of punishment fits this crime?  Thoughts?

He wasn't coming in the first place which is what none of you can understand and which makes this thing so frickin' funny.

Depends on who we land instead.

Did you miss the part of the article I linked where Gary's &@#%ing MOM says that he wants a BCS job.  His &@#%ing MOM even goes around talking about that.  He's not coming to KSU, but he WAS.  Now he'll just go to a different BCS school.

Assume Dimel.

Public flogging.

I would just hope everyone completely ignores him and his site, and he gets his KSU credentials taken away.  I think he would enjoy any attention (good or bad) too much.

Tim has always been one that tries to be the news instead of reporting the news.  This is yet another instance.  He's not a well respected journalist like J-Mart, MJRod, etc.

But seriously, MJ is a more responsible journalist than Fitz.  Which is serious, but also lollers.

Yes, true & lollers.  As far as we're naming people more responsible than Fitz I think we can all agree that Godsawesomegiftksu is a much more responsible site.

Basically, what that dipsh*t got twisted was who he is and what his site is.  He is a nutless wonder who has never, ever broke any story (even with those same sources.....you'd thinking having those same sources that are so close to the program would land him just ONE f'ing breaking story over the past decade or so) .  His site is KSU's fluffer; always has been always will be.  The only saving grace he will have in this entire deal is that his subscribers are, in fact, mental retards that will blindly accept Snyder, without any pause or hesitiation.  It won't even matter if the head coach in waiting has a losing record as a head coach or hasn't been in college coaching for over 2 decades....no they'll just gladly smile and cheer as Old Balls puts together a collection of old coaches while D Scott writes a 1,000 articles a week on how many cups of coffee snyder drinks or what time he gets up in the morning and Fitz stuffs his fat face full of another So Long Burger.

“Hang in there folks, it's all going to be all right”. - FITZ 11/11/08

Literally going to be the funniest quote to come from this entire debacle for me.

If Fitz cost us GP then screw GP...he can keep his sissy a$$ at tcu.  Seriously...it was an internet rumor...a leaked story...this is the sort of sh*t that happens at a BCS school.  If he's gonna melt-down and cry to his AD/agent every time something like this happens then maybe he's not ready for big time BCS football.  Where exactly does he expect to go and be sheltered from all this...the SEC    Lets face it...he's shelterd at tcu, if he goes to a BCS bowl then he's the second coming...if he doesn't then he's got the built in excuse that he's not in a BCS conference...either way tcu fans will always kiss is a$$ - and I have a feeling he knows this.

Make no mistake though...Fitz is a huge deuche and should never be allowed anywhere near ksu athletics.

Yes, us super powers of the college football world can definately afford to blow off candidates if there is even a hint that they don't have us as their dream job or don't act super excited about coming here during the middle of their seasons.  Good idea.

he published it as breaking story, with contract specifics.

He's a retard and possibly cost us a chance at a real coach prospect.

Don't get me wrong i hate Fitz more than anyone, but this could not have blown the deal. If it did. Gary never wanted to come here anyway.

And thats never happened before at any other school?  Look, i'm not saying fitz isn't a deuche and i'm not saying that GP and his agent shouldn't be pissed (or even ksu for that matter), I guess I just have a hard time believing that would be the ONLY reason he wouldn't come to KSU.  For the record, I still think he's coming.

I will say though that Krause should thrown Fitz under the bus more times than he did to discredit the story so that the world would know how big of a dumba$$ fitz is instead of just people on the ksufans site.

[Oklahoma_Cat]

a big LOL at anybody who thinks that gp decides his future based on fitz.

False.  GP would have looked like a stand up amazing human by coming out after the season was over and saying he just couldn't resist the tug to go home.  Now he looks like a lying POS to the entire tcu fanbase because it's obvious he was dealing behind their backs.  Pretty clear cut here d00d.  Not saying he still doesn't come, but it's a hell of a lot harder now.

Can't argue the lying POS to the entire tcu fanbase part...

To get back on point, I think Fitz should be dragged around the Manhattan area by his heels (ala Mussolini) so that he can be spat/shat/urinated etc upon for all to see. Then his corpse should be hung outside BSFS with the sign "Dont Fitz up! Ye Be Warned"

Sounds appropriate to me.

[hemmy]

GP is a total dipcrap if he changed his mind based on what a fatass internet writer said.

Why would it even make him angry?  Jesus what a FP, TC, etc.

[catzacker]

It's not about it being Fitz....the real issue (as pointed out by stevedave) is that because of that story, Gary now will look like a lying POS, publically as well as internally, to everyone he's spent, what?, the last decade of his life working with? 

I know that other coaches have done this (Saban), but what if Patterson isn't like that?  What if Patterson is a guy who just says "F it, going to KSU doesn't feel right anymore, and if those bunch of idiots can't even run a press conference, why would I want to go work for/with them?".  Then he waits for the TT job to open up and I would assume he'd be option #1 for them, and he really wouldn't have to uproot his family too much (or as much as he would to KSU) and would still be in TX and would be in a BCS conference.

That would be awesome and appropriate, but I think his fan club will swing from his sack no matter what he does.
