Arrr, former Miami coach Jim be wearied to the bone by them NIL shenanigans in the college sport seas!
2024-12-27
Arrr, the ol' Hurricanes captain be sayin' he’s jumpin’ ship from his coachin' post ‘cause the treasure of NIL be not ticklin' his fancy! Aye, he'd rather sail the seas than tussle with gold-hungry scallywags!
Ahoy me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of the mighty Jim Larrañaga, captain of the Miami basketball ship, who recently tossed his rubber duck overboard and bid farewell to the crew! After 14 seasons of plundering victories, ol’ Jim, aged 75, declared he be ‘exhausted’ from battling the treacherous seas of the name, image, and likeness (NIL) waters, and that cursed transfer portal! Arrr!"I’ve sailed these seas for 53 years, but this new world be a wild tempest!" he declared at a press gathering, scratchin’ his beard. Once a proud captain, leading his crew to the Final Four, this season found them floundering with a 4-8 record. So, with a heavy heart, Jim decided it were time to rest his weary bones.
With the wind in his sails, he passed the helm to Bill Courtney, who shall steer the ship for now. Under Jim's command, the Hurricanes tasted glory thrice, even winning the ACC tournament in 2013! But alas, every captain must know when to lower the sails, and Jim felt it was time to hang up his tricorn hat. May his next voyage be filled with fair winds and calm seas!
