WATERCOOLER CHAT: CHARGERS NAME MCCOY AS HEAD COACH, MARTINEZ KICKS HEAD, HOOSIERS LOSE TO WISCONSIN
FOOTBALL
In the NFL, one of the many coaching vacancies has been filled, as the San Diego Chargers settled on Mike McCoy as their new head coach. McCoy was the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos the last 4 seasons. Sure, the Broncos had one of the top offenses in the NFL under McCoy and new quarterback Peyton Manning, but remember that McCoy was also running the show when the offense played well over mediocre quarterbacks Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow. Imagine what McCoy will be able to do with a dynamic quarterback like Philip Rivers. Look for the Chargers to turn it around next season.
BASKETBALL
And in some disturbing news out of the college basketball world, some trouble in Wyoming of all places. Luke Martinez helped the Wyoming basketball team get out to a 12-0 lead this season, a fantastic beginning for a program that is usually completely off the radar. But, the other night, Martinez got into a fight at a local bar and reportedly, according to police, kicked the head of an unconscious victim like it was a football. According to witnesses, Martinez got a running start, and kicked an unconscious man in the head. Now, he faces charges, and has been suspended from Wyoming basketball indefinitely.
Finally, in college basketball, the Indiana Hoosiers started out as the #1 team in the nation. They dropped a game to Butler, and Tuesday got a huge shock from unranked Wisconsin. Everybody inside (and outside) of Indiana is excited that the Hoosiers are actually a scary program to play again (as they have been one of the most historic programs in college basketball), so nobody expected them to suddenly lose to Wisconsin. Are they slipping? They better tighten up before March, because there are a lot of expectations for this program to reach the Final Four, if not win it.
