From TNA Mobile:

"TNA is in talks with coach Bobby Knight....more details to come."

The following was just issued on TNAWrestling.com:

TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION WRESTLING OFFERS COACHING JOB TO BOB KNIGHT

Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling is offering its first-ever Head Coaching job to Bob Knight, the all-time winningest Division I men’s basketball coach known as much for his coaching genius as his fiery temper, who resigned Monday in the middle of the season as the Texas Tech coach.

“TNA Wrestling was shocked, like the rest of the sports world, to hear Coach Knight resigned,†said Jeff Jarrett, co-founder of TNA Wrestling, who was a high school and junior college basketball player in Tennessee before becoming a professional wrestler. “Coach Knight is a sports icon and we’d be thrilled and honored to have him join the ranks, to further build TNA Wrestling into a national power, much like he did for Texas Tech.â€

Knight, 67, has been a head coach for 42 years at three Division I schools: Army, Indiana and Texas Tech. Knight won three national championships, including his 1976 Indiana team that went undefeated, a feat no team has done since. In 1984, he coached the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Los Angeles.

TNA Wrestling has a lighter schedule than college basketball which should appeal to Coach Knight, Jarrett said, and TNA not only endorses chair-throwing, but has an endless supply of steel chairs.

In addition to Jarrett, the TNA Wrestling roster also features Kevin Nash who, during his high school basketball career in Michigan had an in-home recruiting visit from Knight. Nash, though, ultimately played at the University of Tennessee, then professionally in Germany.

TNA Wrestling delivers a distinct brand of high-risk, athletic entertainment. TNA’s roster includes the biggest names in wrestling today, such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, and Christian Cage, as well as the hottest new stars in the business: A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe and the Motor City Machineguns. TNA features the innovative six-sided ring and the high flying X-Division, as well as concept matches such as “Ultimate X,†“King of the Mountain,†“Six Sides of Steel,†“Lethal Lockdown†and “Elevation X,†considered the most dangerous match in professional wrestling.

TNA Entertainment, LLC is a privately held company headquartered in Nashville, TN. For more information, visit www.tnawrestling.com. TNA programming is available in over 100 countries. “TNA iMPACT†airs every Thursday night on Spike TV (9:00 �" 11:00 PM, ET/PT). Spike TV is available in 96.1 million homes and is a division of MTV Networks.

Oh it's Real, IT'S DAMN REAL!

But yeah, it's on TNA's website and all the main news sites. It would be stupid, but hey, at least it may get publicity by ESPN if he does come to TNA. That would be pretty cool if you ask me.

lol wow just wow

 

[Sludge Factory]

i'm at a loss of words...

 

[The Godfather]

My god, this is worse than signing Pac-Man, how exactly do you "coach" a wrestling company? FUCKING DUMB

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

*shakes head* I love TNA, but... *shakes head*

 

[Dylanfsd]

I love it.

 

[Sludge Factory]

My god, this is worse than signing Pac-Man, how exactly do you "coach" a wrestling company? FUCKING DUMB

Well look at the storylines they have been doing of late, this is of no surprise to me. I guess they truly are trying to be an "alternative" wrestling.

 

[HHHforever]

I just can't even speak after reading that. I would be stunned if that happend and really, really, really confused.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Can he act? Because i'm thinking he could have the on-air role of a hardass coach, making people do suplexes until the receiver throws up on the giver. *shrug* There's a little bit of potential in there then. But if he's seriously... COACHING people? Waste of money, TNA, waste of money.

 

[HHHforever]

^I can't see any situation in which signing him would not be a waste of money.

 

[Enigma22]

whose next? they sign oprah to an in ring contract and have her face awesome kong? michel vick when he gets out?

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Sign Jerry Springer, he can manage a hillbilly tag team. Or better yet, Jerry and Steve as tag team champions.

 

[Enigma22]

Jerry Jerry Jerry!
