2022 Coaching Carousel Begins…

[Windham4th]

Christian school hired a football coach that they knew used school owned phone to hire escort(s?) at their last job.
And their president and wife had a weird sex triangle with the pool boy. I am sure 99% of the people working there are good educators for the kids, but the hypocrisy of the leadership who was most visible to the world was absolutely worthy of the criticism.

And they hired a guy with more than questionable integrity …which you think would be important to their leadership…

“Under Freeze, the Ole Miss football programcommitted various recruiting and academic violations that figured in the NCAA's decision to expunge 27 of Freeze's wins and ban the team from post-season play for two years.[4] After university officials attempted to paint Freeze's predecessor as the main culprit, they were sued for defamation and issued a public apology.[5]The team's star quarterback and other players told NCAA officials that Freeze lied to them about the charges while he recruited them.”

So your saying he’s perfect for auburn?

Repenting, forgiveness, and redemption are a pretty big deal in the Christian faith.

Not saying I agree with hiring of Freeze but giving a guy a second chance would not be anathema to their mission I don't think.

It had to be done. Navy has fallen off badly

Had a bad 3 year run no doubt, but this guy was sought after once and chose to stay there. This is why coaches chase the pay day like they do.

I will let it go because @huskymedic wont be happy with this thread turning ugly....let just say we disagree.

He earned a few more years to turn it around. It's Navy. They're not chasing national championships and he's shown he can win there.

I know nothing about him, but Troy Taylor is a tremendous football coach name

4 out of the last 5 yrs they’ve won 4 games or less. I like him but no AD would keep a coach around with a record like that

That's fair too.

 

[How Sway?!]

Didn't he say some unnecessary things when we left the AAC.

Not saying his recent record doesn't justify his firing. I'm just curious who you bring in that can be as successful as he had been over so many years.

Relevant, but not as much as Navy’s Commander-in-Chief records in the last 7 years:

2-5 vs USAFA
Most importantly, 2-5 vs USMA.

Interesting recruiting differences at the service academies.

"Because tuition is free at the Naval Academy (essentially every student is on “full scholarship”), committed football players don’t sign a Letter of Intent or anything that actually “binds” them to the school. So until someone arrives at Annapolis in June, he isn’t technically “committed” to the school. It has also cost Navy a recruit in the past well after Signing Day, when a scholarship unexpectedly opens at another school."

It's completely unlike anything else in college football

I think one of the problems for military academies is that congress representatives can get individuals admitted to the academy to play football, but they may not be D1 caliber. Heard that from a WP graduate who indicated that coaches are stuck with these players. Maybe True or False.

Would it matter? Their rosters are huge. The bigger issue is top players don't want to go there.

Ex-Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo surprised by sudden firing: 'I thought we stood for something different'

Ken Niumatalolo said Monday that Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk fired him almost immediately after they fell to Army in double overtime on Saturday afternoon.

Sounds like it was pretty brutal. It was not just after the game, it was literally in the locker room right after the game ended.

This is totally uncalled for. Gladchuk could not wait until after they went back to the campus? I mean, the man gave 15 years of his life to the academy for this? The Navy needs to re-examine this move.
