Give Coach Sampson a chance

Coach Bobby Knight, "The General," rose to national prominence as the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers. In the summer of 2000 Coach Knight was fired from his position, and Indiana turned to one of Knight's assistants, Mike Davis, to take over as head coach.

This move met with mixed reactions. And despite leading Indiana to a Final Four victory (lost the national title game) Mike Davis was never well liked, as made clear by the website www.firemikedavis.com. Mike Davis was never going to last as the Indiana head coach simply because he is not a legendary coach.

But now, with the announcement that Kelvin Sampson, formerly of Oklahoma, will be replacing Mike Davis there is already a push to have him removed.

This Blog is dedicated to explaining why the creator of www.firekelvinsampson.com and those who agree with him (or her) should shut the hell up and give Coach Sampson a chance.
