“I was just told to stay away from this.”

At the time, I found it a little strange that Garrick McGee chose to abandon a head coaching position at UAB to reunite with Bobby Petrino as his offensive coordinator and to make the move without telling his players first.

I don’t find it strange anymore. (h/t)

    They knew, yet they hired a coach and continued the charade…amazing I have seen some college administrations do some strange things, but this is pretty high on the stupid list.

      I agree. Increasingly, though, it appears that the admin was given a mandate by the BOR….which would explain their sloppiness. They might have not been willing partners in the mandate, either.

    Seems to me that the staff could sue for fraud not disclosing this when they hired them.

    McKee is a chip off the old block. UAB didn’t exactly cover itself with integrity either, to put it mildly.

    Question, does Auburn fall under the BOT? If so once they work out all the errors made in shutting down UAB how long before they pull the plug on Auburn?
