ICYMI:
Nothing new for him. But you gotta really really haze hard to get suspended at a Service Academy
The man who coached this team to a loss to Monmouth where we scored 21 points? And a loss to D3 Carnegie Mellon? Whose insistence on rigid Carrilian orthodoxy without adapting to his team’s skill set brought the program to new depths?
I’m sure Noah Savage has a few entertaining stories he could tell…
2003-4 at Air Force he was 22-7, reached # 25 in the polls.
But he was indeed an unmitigated catastrophe at Princeton.
His Princeton record was better than his second AF enlistment.
He’s a lawyer, perhaps he could better apply his skills in a courtroom.
Noah does have some stories!
Very sad fact.
In twenty years, did he become a worse coach, perhaps even more difficult to work under, or did the players change and become less tolerant of abuse (if that’s what this is about)?
I got the scoop that JT III was probably headed to Georgetown and Scott likely headed to Princeton from Washington Post sportswriter Michael Wilbon on a plane from DC to Denver, where the Tigers and Falcons played in first round of NCAA tournament that year. I was bummed to hear we were probably losing Thompson but really excited about Scott after the miracle work he pulled off at Air Force. Sadly, Scott was an unmitigated disaster. I spoke to an irate father of one of the players after the Carnegie Mellon meltdown. The Dad went on and on about what a hotheaded jerk Scott was to the players and he was ready to yank his kid out of Princeton. The fit that looked so good was anything but. Princeton is very fortunate to have Mitch and his loyalty to the school.
Once an asshole always an asshole, you had scott and we had miller
It was obvious watching both those clowns in the sideline
