I doubt anything can get settled until well after the independent review the University ordered is completed. Anyone have an idea how long this may take? Seems pretty simple, there are a finite number of people to talk to, right? Or is the investigation firm on a cost plus contact too? Sent from my...

If president at the U keeps her job after the Lauren McKlusky (I can't express myself without swearing) show (holy hell did you see the Dateline on that) I can't understand why we would even talk about Dr Cockett listing hers.

Honestly, this is getting desperate. Until someone who was in the meeting goes on record or the investigation is finalized I think I'm over it.

It's hard for me to imagine the level of persecution complex you'd have to have in order to think that as a Utah Mormon you were being discriminated against.

Some of the comments are pretty alarming. For example this one: ""Dr Cockett SEEMED to be INSINUATING that Coach Maile was not fit for the job because of certain aspects of his background...We were pushing and advocating for him and she had REALLY NO SOLID EXCUSE OTHER THAN HE HASN'T HAD THE WINS H...

So I was recently passed over for a position that I (and others that I work with) thought I had earned. I felt like there were politics (discrimination) involved. So, what were the stakes? High, I guess? So what did I do? I love my company and they have taken care of me well throughout the years, so...

Imagine this scenario: Players: We think you should hire Frank he would be great for recruiting because he is LDS and Polynesian. Cockett: We can't hire him because he is LDS and Polynesian. You or I may naturally assume she means "we can't hire him JUST because he is LDS and Polynesian" but player...

Empire of Dirt

I've thought about this a lot and I think that Cockett's first problem is being too inclusive... Why does she even take a meeting with a bunch of 20 something's to tell her who she should give this job to? Seems like nothing good comes out of that meeting. Trying to make these guys feel included in ...

Board Lawyers... So, let's say that the hearsay of hearsay is correct (or at least can be somewhat substantiated.) Cockett said that she was concerned about him being from Utah and being Polynesian. What does a settlement look like? Anderson just signed a $5M contract. Are those the damages that Mai...

Oof... Didn't see that coming.

I guess he decided that whatever he could make on a lawsuit will be more than any future earnings as a college football coach.

Good luck to Frank in his next interview. “So tell me about your last job.” Well I was filling in as HC and when I didn’t get the actual job the players revolted, protested the last game and accused the university of discrimination / lit a dumpster fire on social media. I was quiet through the whol...

I've had the thought that the money I give to Aggie Athletics could be better used elsewhere for a long time. Not saying I'm making any changes, just another data point. Funny, a week or so ago I got a call from a football player thanking me for my donation, wonder what role he played here, how than...

Honest question. What percentage of President Cockett's time should be spent dealing with the football team?

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Empire of Dirt

Here’s my guess. President Cockett to the players: “I appreciate your support for coach Maile. At this time we feel the culture around the team is not what we want here at USU and we feel it would be best to start completely fresh with an outsider instead of someone within Utah state.” Pissed off p...

Empire of Dirt

I am blindsided. Why not give the guy who turned the program around helped get us into the MWC another chance? Had we sucked during Gary's good years, would we have been stuck like New Mexico State without a conference? Never dreamed we would witness the program collapse in less than one month's ti...

Why are the Aggies the only team in the country that has to deal with injuries? It's totally not fair.

An onside kick would have been fine, kicking it away would have been fine. Whatever the hell they did, was probably the worst thing that they could have done. I am so confused.

Empire of Dirt

Said it at the time, said it during the season, saying it now. Wrong hire, potentially disastrous hire.

When a rich friend has to coerce the only program in the country that would even answer GA's phone call it's obviously the wrong hire.

I've been thinking about this lately. Granted a 7-5 season and a 6-2 conference record for a new head coach is a pretty good place to start. And... Granted that we were absolutely embarrassing in 3 of those losses. I think the thing that has me the most concerned? Annoyed? Is that we seemed to get w...

My wife said no football for Jr with he was 8 or so. I argued with her at the time, but I'm super glad that she didn't give in.

While the "exes and ohs" have obviously been a problem, that has paled in comparison to our lack of heart, leadership and discipline.

Not sure that we'd see that with last year's staff.

You're assuming Gary is paying attention in this hypothetical forth quarter.

After Wells (Whom many hated for too much fire). Gary is a poor substitute. You can be friends with the players but at some level you have to motivate them. Matt motivated players. Some did not like it and some did. Regardless they showed up to play. Gary is their buddy , but they need a coach. Yea...

Anderson is not the same as he was when he was here before. This team has no heart.

Players may have hated Wells, but at least they acted like they cared

Before the injury I was hoping that he could play corner for us.
