Losing builds character, if you look at it all sciencey.
Then he must be in the top 1% of all males in terms of having high character.
I thought you the OP said finish the sentence
Lamont Paris ...
I said Lamont Paris is no Nacho Libre
Meaning Lamont Paris likes getting paid to lose, Nacho Libre does not want to get paid to lose, as he states in the movie and then added the gif so hopefully people would get it

whether he likes to lose or not, one thing is for certain, he's darn good at it!
I don't know if he likes losing or not, but if we retain him, it means we like losing.
I agree, I think we can hire a much better coach, I hope our current AD will prove this to be the case in the coming weeks.
Sorry but I disagree. ole miss coach was in sweet 16 last year and we just beat them, you don’t hear bunch of crazy people wanting to fire him.
They now have a worse record than we do. We can say Paris owns the state of Mississippi! woohoo
How did Paris do the last time he made it to the NCAA playoffs?
Lost almost everyone from that team and Beard put together the worst roster in the SEC save one.
Paris has 3 of the worst 4 seasons we’ve had since we joined the SEC. We didn’t make the sweet 16 last season. So what exactly gives you confidence he can do a job that he’s been awful at so far?
Are you are comparing Chris Beard to Lamont Paris. No disrespect intended here, but when you look at the resume of Chris Beard, he has a much better job history than Lamont Paris by far. Per Wikipedia, this is his first losing season in his career as head coach, for perspective, Ole Miss is his 6th school as a hc. Frankly he is the type of coach we should hire, a person with a consistent record of winning/competitive over a number of seasons with multiple schools. Ole Miss fans would be foolish to be calling for his dismissal at this point in my opinion.
this was his only losing season as a head coach between 6 different schools
I agree, when looking at Lamont Paris's resume, there isn't much to indicate he can turn this program around.
Others have posted about paying off Paris' contract. Can the school afford such an expense? That does not mean I support Paris. It means there may be other factors the school has to consider.
Some have said we should fire him and negotiate a lower buyout. Those people are dreaming. If my employer fires me and then comes to me and asks me to take a lower buyout than my contract gives me, I'm telling them to pound sand.
$12 million buyout on top of what a new coach will cost pretty much ensures MBB will not be profitable for a while. SC is in a tough spot with Paris.
Exactly. "We'll let Paris go in exchange for a $12,000,000 donation above and beyond what you are currently contributing. Any takers?"
Ray Tanner's retired and he's still the gift that keeps on giving
The University is still paying him near a million annually for being a "consultant."
That's kinda been our MO. We seem to be a one stop shop where outgoing coaches can extend their career while adding to their pensions. That goes for coaches both inside and outside the program. We are THE pre-retirement university
Precisely. You may never coach again or at minimum take a lesser role after you leave, but your net worth will increase substantially during the time you're here.
Do teachers unions extend to college? ... because it kinda feels like they are running the show.
Vanderbilt did pretty good with the same level of NIL funding as USC, I believe they went 25-7 this season
You must have missed when I mentioned there are exceptions on both ends of the spectrum? It can be done with little money but the example are few and far between.
You can't even get a coaches salary out of Vandy because they are private.
