Got your ass kicked by an incoming new member to the conference and your coach is an alleged perv boy. Not a great week for Sparty.

I think the key word here has to be "alleged." There is something really fishy about this story. I await the findings of further investigations and/or legal proceedings.

"fishy" is right.

The story has been discussed quite a bit not only on NY sports radio (WFAN), but also on NY's talk radio stations.

Seems there are a number of "inconsistencies" in statements Brenda Tracy made
as well as "time lines".

Have to see how it all plays out.

Presumption of innocence in this case says nothing about his overall character.

I'm just pointing the fact that, according to the commentators on WFAN and NYC's talk radio, there are a number of inconsistencies in the statements made by the coach's accuser as well as in her "time lines".

As I posted, we'll have to see how this all plays out.

Haven't followed the story, and googling didn't turn up much. What are the inconsistencies?

According to the commentators, she says the phone sex call which is the basis of her claim wasn't consensual.
He says it was.

His Phone records show it went on for about an hour.

Again according to the commentators, the coach and the woman had some type
of "relationship".

When it ended, she filed her complaint.

One thing that is certain is that MSU would owe the coach a lot of money, unless they can prove they fired him "with cause".

None of what you just said is anything other than hearsay and gossip speculation coming from a talk radio show that's designed to influence one way or the other. The evidence is pretty damning, and MSU's own investigation has concluded such.

https://defector.com/michigan-state-has-begun-the-process...

"During the period where you both discussed further [Set the Expectation] presentations, and while married, you admitted to the following behaviors:

-Commenting to the Vendor about her looks, body, and body parts, specifically her “a**”

-Making flirtatious comments to the Vendor in conversations that you stated “happened often”

-Masturbating and making sexually explicit comments about yourself and the Vendor while on the phone with the Vendor, which you describe as “phone sex” and “a late-night intimate conversation”

While The Formal Grievance process proceeds, the above-described undisputed facts provide multiple grounds for termination under the Agreements Early Termination Provision. Your admitted behavior (1) constitutes a material breach of your duties under the Agreement, (2) demonstrates "conduct which constitutes moral turpitude," and (3) has brought "public disrespect, contempt, or ridicule upon the S077 University." (Section IILB.1 (a) and (c).) Each of these grounds provide an independent basis under which the University may terminate the Agreement, which the University elects to now terminate."



Undisputed facts is the key term here.

I thought I made it pretty clear that my posts were based only one what I heard
on the radio.

As far "undisputed facts", the same commentators say that the coach has a different opinion on what facts are in fact "undisputed".

In my opinion, past actions, on the part of the coach, do cast doubt on some of his claims of innocence.

But he's still entitled to his day(s) in court.

I hope MSU had a real good legal team that made the decision that
they could fire him with cause, or its going to cost them a lot of money.

The initial evidence on the Duke Lacrosse team seemed pretty overwhelming and all pointed in the direction of their guilt. Subsequent evidence proved the initial evidence not probative. I don't think that either rpbobcat or myself are arguing that the coach is a "good guy" or that he might not be guilty as charged. It's just that we don't know all the facts at this point, and all we really know is what one side is saying are the facts, even if they are calling them "undisputed facts" doesn't mean that they actually are undisputed. Again, let's step aside and let the process unwind.

From what I hear from media insiders the job is his if he wants it, but a chance at an NFL HC job doesn't come along very often so I would be surprised if he left to go back to Boise. Also look out for former HC Bryan Harsin.

Should go back to Ball State, make $800K a year for 6 win seasons and just retire a legend. Though that San Diego weather... I can see how retirement sounds pretty great right now.
