Fights, trashy girlfriend at practice drama, hitting on women at gas stations.

Who decided to leak it right after the announcement? Why not last week?

Similar to the Gruden leaks the who and the timing is interesting.

Nobody wanted to be out front with this kind of stuff. That's the way these things always go.

you wouldn't want it to come out while he was still gainfully employed - would hurt the LSU brand and be a distraction.

Now that he's effectively fired, it softens the blow of actually firing him - for the Facebook Mom crowd. It's still not great PR, but now we can point to it and say "Yeah but he's fired"

Some of it is likely embellished, the other part is the media doesn’t want to ruin the working relationship with the program

Spineless local media not wanting to lose access and a spiteful head coach who would deny access via his former media lackey.

It’s ok to leak now because he’s out so they’re not worried about reporting it and losing access.

Just like sucker punching someone engaged in a fight with someone else. Once they don’t fear repercussions they get their licks in.

All Derek related. Get ready for many to get their licks in on him as well.

The media in this country is rotten at every level and that includes sports media. Completely worthless

I think people were sitting on this stuff out of fear of Ponamsky cutting off their access. He did it to one of his long time friends so nobody was immune.

No one leaked it, media just sat on it until the time seemed right. That’s how media works.

Spineless is a bad word for this situation; this is their livelihood so why would they do something to mess that up?

Speaking of things coming out, over the last few weeks a couple of posters have referred to an incident at a fishing camp involving O. And I don’t mean O’s references to a fishing hole. Any details on the fish camp incident?

Agree with others on here.

I’m sure Brody Miller had that article ready to go for a while pending a few edits with termination details.

It's been all over this board. He apparently didn't like a comment made by a passerby on the water in Fouchon. O followed him to his camp, barged in and threatened him. That guy is also a supposed booster.

Weeks ago I was hearing stories about him telling his ex that anyone she dated would have to deal with "this", as he flexed his biceps.

We all heard about him threatening someone in Grand Isle. We all knew he was womanizing like he was on speed.

Obviously some people, over whom he had power, would keep their counsel until he was fired.

O had a policy of freezing out media members who didn’t play nice. Now that threat has been removed.

media began getting tipped off to the parting agreement friday, so most spent the weekend sharpening their knives. Many were also stories that have been known but couldn't run because Ed and derek blackball anyone that speaks out of turn.
