Isiah

Really, Isiah?!

You were so desperate to get back into coaching that when the basketball powerhouse that is Florida International came calling, you just couldn't pass it up?  

Consider this.  Florida International has not had a winning season since 1999-2000, when they went a whopping 16-14.  I challenge anyone to name one person that has come out of Florida International in ANY SPORT, let alone just basketball.  Yet, Isiah feels this is a great opportunity to revive his career.  A career that saw him take one of the most prestigious positions in all of professional sports (head coach of the Knicks) and turn it into a laughingstock of the sports world.  A career that saw him disgrace an entire organization with a high profile sexual harassment suit.  A career that took him to get the dreaded job title of "consultant" and "scout".  Consultant my ass.  Donnie Walsh and Mike D'Antoni consulted with Isiah as much as I consult with Queen Elizabeth for pooping tips.  He left the Knicks in worse shape than Oliver Miller after he ate Robert Traylor for dinner.  Isiah couldn't get a job in the NBA or major college basketball unless he could give oral better than Jenna Jameson.  

And how about the athletic director meeting at FIU that brought up Isiah as a candidate?  Let's see...we could hire Assistant A from Central Florida, Assistant B from Florida A&M, former head coach C from South Florida, or there was that one guy who played with the Pistons...Terry Mills?  No he coached the Knicks...Isiah?  Yeah, let's see if he wants the job!  He does?! Great, what does he want for a salary?  A gift card to Red Lobster?!  Awesome, he is hired.

Sorry Zeke, but you have officially hit rock bottom.  Good luck when the FIU fans start the inevitable FireIsiahThomas.com site.
