1st Eustacy gets suspendes(probably fired) and now the interim coach is suspended. Should I even mention a certain UAB coach who I would bet my mortgage on having interest. Of course, his being a friend of Eustcy probably eliminates him...not to mention his coaching "style" is similar to Eustacy's.

I don't know if you mean Bartow or Davis. But I think they would aim higher than either.
I think the culture at Co State is poor.
Snowflake players get 2 coaches fired (soon to be) because they yelled at them.
Boo Hoo.
As a society, we are becoming a bunch of *******. (Apparently kitty cats is hidden here?)
State is trying to make sure their legal case is strong before they fire him. Or maybe they negotiate a settlement before he leaves.
Todays's athlete doesn't want to be coached or yelled at. They want a coach that fits them - much like modern religion. Not saying its bad, just that times are changing and some change(and, oftentimes, reveal themselves as the wind-shifting charletons they are) while others stick to their principles. Mike Tice, a veteran NFL player and most recently an NFL OL coaches, quitt supposedly for this reason...
Eustachy has a history of control issues. At Iowa State (famously), at USM and now CSU. This isn't about his yelling at players or his temper though. It is about their record and his buyout. CSU found a way to save some money.

Exactly. If they were 3rd in their conference with an NCAA bid all but assured, his behavior would be fine with them.
When they warned him a few years ago, they pretty much made it so ANYTHING he did other than be a sunday school teacher could be deemed breaking the zero tolerance.
But, shortly after that, they fire the AD and he went back to his old ways and State did NOTHING until now. So, it will be argued that them not doing something sooner meant they were ok with it. And therefore they can't fire him for it.
While Colorado is a unique state in so many off beat ways, its team roster, if the usual holds true, is made up of players NOT from that state and not dominated by its culture. A coach who has failed at other places may be the reason for failure at UC State as well. As the "coaching carousel" speeds up for 2018, we may see what new and old names pop up among candidates for these jobs. We may need to know in the not too distant future.
