So, he has a well-established track record of being fired multiple times for abusing players (allegedly), despite on-court success. And your feeling is that if he’s engaging in that same behavior again, and one or more of his players don’t like it, they should be required to sign on for retaliation by him before they can complain. . . Yeah, that makes all the sense.
Gillispie is the tip of the iceberg….there’s the bigger problem of who/why hired him in the first place, and when will they ALL be fired??? Who hired an admitted substance abuser and chronic DUI offender (at a minimum) to coach kids?…and why?
Which moronic college administrator(s) thought that Tarleton’s athletics program, which operates at a loss, was worth the headaches, financial risk to the University, and the potential personal risk to students??? ….and these morons even doubled-down to give Gillispie an extension for 2 years.
All this just so TSU can say they moved to D1 in a joke of a conference, (UAC forecasted payouts @ <$2m) and still lose money on a grander scale. This is all because the AD, Steve Uryasz, & Pres. Hurley can check a fat $$bonus box in their contracts. Total delusions of grandeur for personal reward.
Doubling the athletic budget to $45m and participating in rev. share. for only 19k avg. attendance is laughable.
At a minimum these people, plus Gillespie (who should’ve never been hired), should all be fired immediately.
The whole place is chocked full of idiots that will do anything or take any risk to fill up their resume’ and bank their bonuses.
