What’s going on besides a dead player here?

I don't understand why the head coach resigned?
quote:

“Due to the loss of Ronnie and the emotional burden it has caused me, I don’t feel I can give my all to these players or this program,” Laird said. “Any coach will tell you that their players become like family, so the loss of Ronnie was like losing a son. I love this program and this university and I know it will persevere and move forward with the competitive spirit that is at the core of our DNA.”

They were supposed to be McNeese 's homecoming opponent on Saturday. Nothing like last minute cancellation.

I’m sure I’ll get bashed but life goes on.. you can’t pack it in and not move forward. It’s tragic and sad but if we shutdown everything when something bad happens then we’d live in a miserable society full of grief and self pity.

I get it, but I also understand the oddness of the timeline. They cancelled their game right after the shooting, which was to be expected. Then they played their next one. Then two days before their next game, they cancel their whole season and the coach steps down at the same time. Don't remember seeing anything like this before.

Their starting QB was taken off the field against SLU in an ambulance too. Just a tough month for NWSU. Out of all the other in-state SLC schools they are the ones that bother me the least, feel for them.

All of their games are now forfeits, right?

They should be kicked out of their conference and possibly sued by the conference.

If I was an AD in that conference I’d refuse to play them in the future.

Word around Natchitoches is there is more to this than just a coach who can’t coach the team due to his grief. Time to clean the whole program. Players included.

Go ahead and cancel Northwestern and save the State some dough. Too many of these Jr Colleges in Louisiana masquerading as institutions of higher learning.
