LOL. So, not only was he earning a huge salary, but his entire wardrobe was provided by Nike...and now he's complaining about being broke. Facepalm

Just shows that he doesn't really understand the medium. Which should come as no surprise.

Yup. Anyone looking to employ him as a coach will be checking out his last 2-3 years of tweets since social media is such an integral part of the recruiting game now. What they see will not bode well.
 
Sad and pathetic. Adversity reveals who we really are. Not that it wasn't clear from his work on the field.

This is a 43 year old man with 21 years of coaching experience, 11 as an offensive coordinator at a BCS program. He has a beautiful wife and three beautiful little girls. Nobody should be feeling sorry for him and he definitely shouldn't be feeling sorry for himself. He needs to accept that he isn't good at his chosen field and work hard to get better at it. Anybody who has hit a rough spot in their careers has had to refocus and change things up in order to be more successful.

And he could totally get some clothing money by selling all those Wake clothes. I need to restock my polos and sweatshirts.
 
Damn y'all. I don't really see him feeling sorry for himself with that picture of the clothes or with the Esurance tweet. Pretty much everyone on my timeline is doing that esurance hashtag, and he just added a bad joke to it. It's not sad or pathetic, he's just a little clueless about twitter (i.e., it's not a great professional move to tweet that, but it's not a huge deal).

His timeline since the firing was

1) that picture of all the clothes

2) a ton of tweets thanking people for tweeting at him

3) The esurance tweet last night.

I don't really get what's sad and pathetic about that
 
The guy took the time to spread out all his Wake clothes all over the room just so he can take a picture for Twitter? Jeez, that's pathetic.

Exactly. Unless he's unloading the whole set at once on eBay.
 
Assuming the $450K above is true, he should have close to, if not more than, $1 million in the bank by now (yes, I realize he hasn't made that his entire time at Wake). If he doesn't, he's a pretty poor planner and pretty self-unaware as to his abilities/marketability, his dependence on Grobe, and the feast/famine nature of his profession. With that much $$, he could find a smart business partner and invest in any number of ventures that would keep him dressed and fed in addition to looking for another job.

Not just 6 figures. About 450K or so.

I missed this. Unbelievable. Stuff like this is why I can't justify giving money to Wake. If they're spending money on people who are publicly among the worst in their profession as demonstrated by easily quantifiable measures like Bz and Lobo, who else are they bankrolling? Caastevens is probably the tip of the iceberg.

You've never taken a picture to commemorate the end of a significant part of your life? Who says it was JUST for twitter? Maybe it was just to remember, so he could show his kids a few decades down the road

I don't really get what's so pathetic about it, but I guess that makes me pathetic.

How much of that money in the bank should he be saving for retirement/kid's and grandkids college funds? Should he be living off of it right now?

He's a college football coach. He should know the risks. Anybody who makes that much should be saving a very large percentage of it.

No, he should be investing a portion of it into something that earns him replacement income and continues to help his savings grow rather than making jokes about being broke on Twitter. Retirement can happen at any time for a college coach. Retirement may be right now for Lobo. Time to start thinking about a back-up plan.

Have you been on twitter? Did you see how many people were tweeting about esurance? It's really not a big deal.

You guys are stretching for reasons to call him pathetic. His coaching performance was pathetic enough, no need to go digging for other reasons
