So one tweet said the entire coaching staff is gone, so who is running the program?

Bad timing you gotta think teams are raiding any good recruits

Wouldn't shock me if they have a new coach named by Saturday. You don't fire Claeys unless you have somebody lined up.

Sounds like Fleck is the man. Now who does Western Michigan go after?

MSUM Dragons should be loaded for the next few years.

Let me guess. Fleck losing to the Badgers put him over the top.

He didn't stand up for gangbanging. He stood up for due process in title 9. And when the details came out... Everyone was like oh shit and changed their tone

They had due process during the Title IX investigation. If Claeys didn't know that, he damn well should have because it was reported. He also knew that at the very least inappropriate conduct had occurred.

Here's what he said on the way out: "I won't be up here freezing my ass off, so y'all enjoy the winter". Classy to the end.

Yep. I very much doubt the players fully understood the depth of depravity when they wanted to boycott (and if they did, God help us as a society). But hard for me to believe Claeys did not.....

He had to go. This was much bigger than wins and losses. The entire program was on the brink of collapse and he was completely inept, clueless, and flat out wrong in his response. I can't imagine any parent wanting their kid to play for a guy who stood up for gangbanging. What an idiot.

For the first time in seemingly forever, the Gophers made the right move. They will still have a tough time recovering, but this was a good start.

^This, so much. I wouldn't want my kid playing for the guy. My guess is Claeys didn't even realize what he was doing by "trying" to support his players. He really comes across as an idiot.

I was also pretty shocked at the player parents who were upset about their kids suspensions. I get not being happy about your kid getting suspended, but once you hear what your kid was involved in, how can you get publicly upset. Jeez, my kid would be done, and out of school. Move home, take some Juco classes, and get your life in order, because there are some seriously lacking moral issues there.

Completely agree that Claeys had to go!
