I can't beleive this guy made this comment about Bill Stewart. What coaches have to put up with and go through these days from people that know so little about the game and profession. “He is so overmatched it’s not even funny,” said Kendrick, managing partner of Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks. “He’s a nice guy and a father figure. But they had a wonderful architecht and they hired the painter to build the next house. I want Bill Stewart to win and I want our program to be successful. But I feel bad for our future. I’m very concerned.” www.cantstopthebleeding.com/?p=12113 |

That's what the $800,000 a year is for. Keep in mind that this guys is paying a decent part of that money.
Has he potentially hurt recruiting and should he have STFU? Of course.

The guy can say whatever he wants. It just so happens that what he said was a stupid comment.

He has the right to say stupid things I guess. What I didn't appreciate is that ESPN felt the need to put what he said on the airways.

Just goes to show you that stupid boosters are everywhere. As a coach, I'm sure the vocal support of his players is far more important than this one nut job.

The only reason it made it on the airwaves, was because he is already a public sports figure, as owner of the Dbacks. A regular joe wouldn't get that read on ESPN, maybe the local paper in West Virginia but not ESPN. Kendrick is known for saying stupid things sometimes. I remember a few years ago he made a comment that basicly was wondering out loud if one of his former players was using steroids.

as they say, " keep your friends close and you enemies even closer".
I heard a college coach tell me knowledge is power. I was not sure what he was getting at. He was such a parnoid guy, he would hire private eyes to investigate the most trouble some boosters. his theory is everyone has something to hide.

I hope Bill Stewart wins a national championship This is a great reminder to all coaches to block out the naysayers. If the kids believe, that's all you need. “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never tasted victory or defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt |
