JBurnham got 'in trouble' by calling me a hypocrite in a former thread stemming from his latest article. I stated that I couldn't wish the Browns well for a variety of reasons, one of which was the way Butch Davis left the Hurricanes. One day he tells his team he's staying and the next day(it may not have been the VERY next day, but it was less than a week later) he took the Cleveland job. I just don't see how I'm a hypocrite. I stated a few reasons why I can't wish the Browns well. I really don't like Jeff Garcia. I really don't like the way Policy and Clark left the 49ers in the lurch, although Policy is gone now right? And I didn't appreciate how Butch Davis left the Miami team. Now I never said I liked Erickson or the way he left OSU. I do think the two situations were different though. Davis left a national title contending team and he told his players and recruits he was staying. The next day, the Browns announced him as the head coach. Erickson's situation was a little different. OSU had a blue-chip QB prospect who had decided to go to OSU over U of Tenn. He was upset Erickson wasn't staying, but he decided to keep his committment even though Erickson did not. Was the way Mariucci left Cal any different? Is the way any college head coach leaves different. In any case, I don't like it. I hate when a college coach runs the recruiting season and tells the team and the recruits "I'm staying" and after signing day he bolts.
Now I'll always resent the way Erickson left the team also. It will bug me as long as he's the 49ers head coach. Am I going to not pull for the 49ers because I think Erickson is a jerk for the way he left OSU, no of course not. Just like I wouldn't expect Browns fans to not pull for Cleveland given the Davis situation. BUT the way Davis left Miami was ONE reason I don't like the organization. It was not the ONLY reason. So if me wanting the 49ers to win even though it means pulling for Erickson to win make me a hypocrite, then so be it. I'll change my name to "Niner-Hypocrite-4-Life and continue to add my two cents worth in here in spite of any name-calling.
BTW, Bryan I appreciate you having my back. I chose this site because the discussions are fun, lively, and free from malice. Once in a great while there's a spat, but usually it's minor and quickly handled. You are mature beyond your years and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the WAY you run this site. So many forums and message boards are full of profanity and insults and aren't any kind of fun to be a part of. 49ers Paradise is a great, family place to call 'home'. Thanks again.

N4L: "Your hypocrisy knows no limits!" -- just kidding :wink: I still think Jeremy was upset because you & I don't see Garcia in a positive light. I agree, if PARADISE was like other sites out there I wouldn't hang my hat here. B does a great job, especially for being a young, yuppie computer nerd! 8) The man has the patience of Job, I mean who else could handle d-tox for so long.
btw, did you see the Laker thread?
