Billy Donovan

I really like this move. Billy might not ever have the success in the NBA that he had with the Florida Gators, but who cares, the dude is going to get paid. This might be like leaving a hit show during its apex, but sometimes you have to cash out when the time is right. I like to call it the Nick Saban principal. Kick ass in the college ranks, dupe some professional franchise into giving you $5 millioin per year, fail horribly, go back to college. It's a genius move. Look for Donovan to be back in the SEC in three to five years. If Gilespie fails in Kentucky, Donovan will be there to jump in. How can anybody argue with this?

Charles Nelson Reilly

Dying is always a good career move. He’s also gay giving him another boost. This is the best thing Chuck could possibly do for his career.

Roger Clemens

Not long after I had left M*A*S*H, I wanted desperately to get back on the show. Too bad they killed me off. Fortunately for Roger Clemens, the New York Yankees didn’t kill him off. So it is possible to return home again. People who take advantage of their celebrity to cash in on some extra money can upset people. Lord knows I have traded on my name to get a corner booth at Applebee’s from time-to-time. But I just don’t get why people have such a problem with Roger Clemens. If your work allowed you to take half a year off and made you the highest paid person in the company, you would take that deal right? Don’t kid yourself.

Tony Dungy

Tony Dungy is a man of principle, as long as people agree with him. Dungy noted in his key-note address to some fundamentalist church group that gays do not deserve the same equal rights as the rest of the world. Dungy hates freedom and he is also a tremendous hypocrite, seeing that he doesn't seem to mind that Peyton Manning is married.

I give this career move a solid thumbs down in terms of NFL coaching, but he will have a solid thumbs up if he ever wants to run for office as a Republican.

Nick Saban

How does old McLean think about Nick Saban leaving the Miami Dolphins? Smart move. It didn't look like things were going to work out for him in Miami. Two years, no improvement. Sometimes in life, like working on a new pilot, you have to know when a project is doomed. It's like if you are really good working in comedy, but you venture out to try your hand in drama, there is no shame in going back to comedy when you have failed in the serious acting.

Good move, Saban.
