Jim Wooldridge
« on: April 03, 2012, 12:33:45 AM »
i've been thinking about oscar weber a bit over the last few days, which of course led me to start thinking about jim wooldridge. and for whatever reason, i decided to take a peek at wooldridge's wiki page.

that's when i made this shocking discovery:

since 1991, wooldridge is a combined 245-276 (120-172 in conference) as a head coach at FOUR different schools.

this has to be some kind of record, right? i mean, how can a coach be sub-.500 over a near two-decade stretch and get four different jobs and still be employed heading into next season?

he's only had TWO winning conference records since 1991!

one of 'em was a 10-8 at louisiana tech in 1997. that was the last time a team he's coached has had a winning conference record.

like, how in the hell?  :lol:

If he can get a game over .500 in one of the next 2 seasons, Currie might bring him back (if for some unfortunate tragedy should befall BW).  Of course, he would have to promise never to sprint to midcourt during a KU game and get tossed...that was a terrible display of intergity.

It is disgusting how long coaches can make money simply by making friends with other coaches and having them say nice things about you.
