Quote:Lame duck refers to someone who is nearing the end of their appointment and knows they arent coming back. For that reason, sometimes thier decisions and motives are questioned. It also is perceived being in a position of less power than normal. Obama is currently a lame duck because he cant be re-elected. Chuck Pagano can re-sign, therefore not a lame duck.


Man i sure have to do a lot of teaching on this board!

Lame duck in this instance refers to a coach who's entering the final year of his contract facing uncertainly regarding his future. He's "left blowing in the wind" so to speak.
