RichRod getting fired? Edit: He's fired

Post by greenyellow »

Sounds like Arizona officials are weighing whether to fire RichRod. Some of it is due to his career record and the finish to the season but there's also a potential off-field matter that may ultimately doom him.

Looking like the off-field matter is a sexual harassment allegation against RichRod:

Bruce Feldman is saying this firing was strictly due to football-related stuff but the statements released by the university seems to contradict that:

Seems like a really dumb decision if its strictly for football reasons and not because of incoming lawsuit...

I'm all about not taking sexual harassment lightly, but from what I read about this situation on ESPN, the whole part about the sexual harassment complaint just seems... weird. Makes me wonder if there might be similar complaints from other women came up in the internal review.

That said, none of this would likely be happening had RichRod not ****ed his administrative assistant. That wouldn't be the kind of professional behavior I'd condone among Oregon's coaches, though I suppose ignorance can be quite blissful.

For what it's worth (probably not much), RichRods statement claimed the woman he had an affair with had no affiliation with the university. He basically denied the AA's claims while admitting an affair with someone else.

RichRod deserved to be fired for what he supposedly made a staffer do to cover up his affair: http://tucson.com/news/local/breakdown- ... e-featured

Please hire Butch Jones.

Arizona could use some Life Championships seeing as they lack PAC championships.
