You know if we are talking about the Salukis in 2013, it’s not good for someone. This time, it’s SIU head coach Barry Hinson. To say his tenure at Southern Illinois University has been a disappointment is an understatement. Here is the rant.
This was an epic rant from an embattled coach on a terrible team. I knew that SIU was down from their glory days in the 2000s but THIS bad? Yikes. Here is the reaction on Twitter:
My favorite thing about Barry Hinson's rant: his AD called it a "Yosemite Sam bombastic outburst." I want to party with those guys.
