S&C for Football
Apparently Coach Yox is on his way out. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Trying to get more details.

Well, that is interesting. Perhaps we can make a call to Coach K.

Yes.

OK, really, I'm wondering the same thing.

Yikes! Hopefully not worse than the Greenspan/Kazemi-Oraby situation? Perhaps best to let sleeping dogs lie...

RE: S&C for Football
So, I have done a little bit of investigating and finally found a reliable explanation to why Yox was let go if anyone cares...here it is:

Apparently, it was HR stuff that was "unfortunate". Rumor has it, Yox rubbed some academic higher ups the wrong way and when he made the slightest misstep they wanted him out. Apparently he made a comment and they were "offended" so he was pushed out. This, in my opinion, is exactly what is wrong with the university system in general, and quite frankly America as a whole. He was a good S&C coach from what little I knew of him and the guys on the team really liked him.

But it's so shocking that the academic side of the school screws over the athletic side...

You mean tolerant of everything under the sun in the name of being open-minded and progressive, except about what they have decided to arbitrarily not to tolerate? Where have we seen that before?

In what context is the football s&c coach crossing paths with "academic higher ups", furthermore with the occasion to opine and rub them the wrong way?

I guess the higher ups could possibly be JK or others.
When Rice Admin is ever mentioned in any context, I immediately think of Dean Hutch who avows his liberal, love all, it takes a village mantra, and then bends over, violates and boots out any student who has the misfortune to cross his path. Specifically, athletes.

Can't stand him.

Or Ostdiek. Both have been terrible in their administrative positions.

Various things. Instead of going to a function highly encouraged by the wiener side of things, you go to a workout instead (applicable to the guys living on campus). Conflicting schedule with class and workouts (teacher not willing to make reasonable accommodations and S&C letting them know it's BS). Commentary during workout to one of the more...sensitive...players and he goes to complain to the deans. Do I need to list more?

I'm curious: could these situations also be characterized as:
- Instead of going to a function highly encouraged of all students, you go to a workout instead.
- S&C coach not willing to make reasonable accommodations to students whose class schedules conflict with workouts.
- S&C coach insulting faculty.

No doubt. But that interrupts the rhetoric that Bailiff and his staff are poor, underpaid, struggling souls.

Rice is an academic institution first. The people that forget that usually don't last that long...
