Tormey finalist for Centraal HC job
The last time I saw him he was whipping up Gilby in '03.

He's just like Don James
-
He should do well at D2.
He's another Doog legend if I recall correctly. -
I always liked him. Reminds me of Don James.
-
You can't do at D2 what you can do elsewhere. You are stuck with whatever assistants are on staff. Only the AD can fire assistants, I think. The last coach (Bennett) was evidently trying to move the assistants in and out.He_Needs_More_Time said:He should do well at D2.

True story.....
1st game as the UI Head Coach and Tormey is trying to get the Vandals fired up for their game. He's doing his speech and getting all into it....."and we're gonna paint the field purple and gold!" Dead silence for a second....
"Fuck you!" a guy yells....and the team starts to leave the locker room without him
That sums up Tormey in a nutshell. -

Nice try. He's dead.

Yup another fucking doog urban legend….

actually this story of yelling "fuck you" to a head coach.... impossible. Most of you guys have not ventured beyond mom's basement in your sweatpants/boner. The fact is that if you tell a coach to fuck off you will be facing, at a minimum, not ever playing. If you tell a head coach that in front of a team you will not be on the team.
It reminds me of those stories posted on doogman about how Gilby was supposedly out golfing the day before a game. It was totally false, Gilby himself remarked on it years later, but people believed it. -
The way his teams played I bet he was golfing during the game.ApostleofGrief said:actually this story of yelling "fuck you" to a head coach.... impossible.

Who had bigger tits…chuck amato or gilby?

I buddy of mine played for Tormey at Idaho. Says Tormey wasn't well liked by the players... they thought he was rather odd.
Nevada fired him and Ault took back the HC job. -
We may have to start up a Central Washington Half Brains bored.

Yeah! Fire the AD. He has fired Bennett, who only won the conference just about every year, as well as a run deep into the D2 finals in 2009. His list of finalists includes a high school coach. He may also try the stupid hire-the-alum trick.DerekJohnson said:We may have to start up a Central Washington Half Brains bored.

actually, it would be better to have a "small college half brains." There are not many fans around.

Good gawd man, do you not detect sarcasm?ApostleofGrief said:actually, it would be better to have a "small college half brains." There are not many fans around.

in general, I like going to small college now more so than big time arena... stand right next to the field, the level of play is surprisingly high, no replay timeouts, no commercial timeouts, cheap tickets...DerekJohnson said:

Would the law school dropout with dentures kindly desist from cyberstalking the Apostle and GET A LIFE? Thanks.

If the Doogs had their way, he would've been head coach here. Seriously.

The Tormey boosters thought he was an awesome recruiter because he landed Kaufman and Brunell (after Todd Marinovich verbaled to USC and Bret Johnson verbaled to UCLA) while as an assistant under James.

Holy fuck how did a thread about the Central coaching search reach 2 pages?
-
It features a doog legend. We can't stop jizzing over coaches connected to Don James, dontchaknow.CuntWaffle said:Holy fuck how did a thread about the Central coaching search reach 2 pages?

I"m just curious how come nobody in here wanted him? I remember being told that we just want coaches connected to Don James. -
I'm expecting Tormey to restore CWU to the Don James glory years. Actuallly that consisted of watching games on black and white TV sets in door rooms, especially the Apple Cups, like in 1982.

Most of the talk at the time was Pinkel vs. Tormey. Others threw out names like Tulane's Tommy Bowden and Mike Bellotti. I even remember Youngstown State's Jim Tressel's name mentioned as he would have been a similar hire as Don James was out of Kent State. Neuheisel was not receiving serious talk from fans despite landing local recruits like Victor Rogers and Ty Gregorak while at CU.He_Needs_More_Time said:
