Trumping up a fake letter of reprimand prior to the season laying out specific concerns and stressing the seriousness of John's conduct. What foresight to fake that before a game was played coming off a conference championship so they could come after him later.

Give it a rest.

As an attorney that's a great piece to have. There was no reason for UC to send that letter other than John's conduct and UC being very concerned about something that happened. In really undermines the idea that this was some sort of witch hunt.

who said anything about trumping up a fake letter???
and the biggest point was that him and Brannen never got along.. the reprimand might have had nothing to do with some long game firing.. but could be used as a tool for a contentious relationship
and the fact that it was worded that the medical staff had issues with his conditioning practices in November ... not "the medical staff has had constant issues with him overworking the players all season despite being reprimanded in November" ..shows that they is whole overrunning thing was just from November

my point you cant give me a reprimand in January, we move on from it...decide as my boss in august you want to fire me for other reasons, and then use January reprimand to fire me without severance .. i was saying the reprimand makes it worse as if it was for player safety without new incidents, why did you let him coach for 6 more months. you cant claim you just found out
