Best Story About a Coach You'll Read All Year (FCS!)

[TexasTerror]

And he happens to be on the coaching staff of an FCS school - a win-win! Take a few minutes and read. Won't disappoint.

---
If today's Wednesday, Coach Black is firing somebody at Northwestern State. Then again, today could be Thursday or Friday and Coach Black would be firing somebody. He's always firing somebody. But today being Wednesday, and the first day of the Southland Conference basketball tournament, the Northwestern State coach in danger is Mike McConathy. And McConathy knows it.


"Been fired before," McConathy says. "Might get fired again."


Coach Black once fired an assistant women's basketball coach, a poor guy named Bob Austin who forgot to take Coach Black to lunch, by grabbing a grease board and writing the names of everybody he'd rather have in that position. He ran out of room at 37 names.


"He's fired everybody in that athletic department, including the athletics director, several times," says Mississippi State baseball coach John Cohen, who was at Northwestern State from 1998-2001. "I've been fired more than once."

That is a fantastic story...Too bad we couldn't have recruited him away from Northwestern when his brother signed with McNeese to play football! ;)
