Thanks Woody.

Question for you. Let’s say you own a very large company. One of the board members has broken the law multiple ways. He even admitted to one of them in hopes cooperating with the police will earn a lesser sentence. This could hurt the company much more and for longer if you keep them on. Would you keep that board member on or would you get rid of them for the sake of your business?

Thank WW for being a moron

For the last time...Wade had to be fired because there was a reason for including the football program in the NCAA investigation. They were going to hammer the cash cow if Wade had not been fired. Yes, football will get a slap on the wrist, but at least it won't be a hammer.

I'm liking Soctt Woodard and the new coaches approach. And honestly wouldn't expect anything less from him. Lets clean house, see where everyone stands, recruit and rebuild a solid program around a new staff. Ask for some self imposed sanctions after we get thru with discovery in hopes they are accepted and not added to by NCAA, wash our hands and give it 2-3 years and see what we can build.

Under your scenario I would fire him. However your scenario is not analogous to the WW situation.

Woody just couldn't take the negative media heat. He admitted to that fact in his letter. He also admitted in his letter that letting go WW was not an admission to any of the allegations.

The problem I have with the fire WW crowd is their willingness to cut bait at the slightest of difficulty with the NCAA and their misunderstanding between "allegations" and "proof".

I'm just in the camp that we had so much going good with WW that he and the program he was building was worth fighting for.

I mean, if we get NCAA sanctions with WW and let's say they are for 3 years...It's still worth retaining and fighting for WW in the short and long run.

Now we are likely to get NCAA sanction but to a lesser extent because Woody fired Wade but at what costs? Maybe less sanctions from the NCAA but guaranteed destruction of the program and a lot of long term uncertainty.

With good attorneys and the current disposition of the NCAA this wouldn't have been as a difficult fight as it would have 3-5 years ago. The NCAA has been significantly weakened by legal and political pressure the last few years .

But Woody did not recognize that fact and it was probably intentional. He probably did not like WW. Woody likes conformists. Yes men. WW was not a conformists or a yes man. WW rustled jimmies and that was is most attractive attribute IMO.

That’s a lot of speculation on your part and to form an opinion on speculation is like building a house on sand. They have a lot more information inside than we do outside.

Also ever heard of the term “where there’s smoke there’s fire”. When it’s blowing black smoke you better get the fire truck.

I do agree innocent until proven guilty. But WW even admitted and had the texts about the incident at VCU.

You didn’t read the notice did you? WW left a personal paper trail that Barney Fife could have tracked down. He left SW zero choices. Paying guys out of a joint checking account with his wife? WW wasn’t even trying.
