On the spectrum of responses from last year, I stood clearly on the side of “no hazing”, “Coach should have known.” “He bears responsibility.”…and of course, “Gragg and Schill screwed the pooch.” In short, I would have preferred an extended Coach Fitz suspension. I was totally OK with the fact of the firing (if not the process).
I love what Wildcat Report represents and so appreciate Lou, Matt and all contributors.
But, respectfully, this is a column that, in my opinion, did not need to be written. Were the individual wearing the shirt a paid permanent assistant coach, totally an appropriate column. A “junior” assistant. A student at the University. The son of the man at the center of the controversy. Simply not needed.
