Couple things.

First - I don't think we know how much power Coyle had in this one.  He could just be falling on the PR sword since it's an athletic matter, but given the sensitivity it was really a President or BoT decision.  Wouldn't be the first time.

Second - You're giving one leader credit for doing his job but not the other one.  If an AD says you're free to legally gang bang, but you're not free to do it as a student athlete at our university, how can that be discredited?

Third - Claeys was never a long term option and didn't want to be.  Only had a 2 year deal.  He was a stopgap for a program who lost a coach for medical reasons and was in transition in their administration.  Coyle came in knowing he was going to hire someone.  But 9 wins complicated things.  Still, no one, I'd bet even Claeys himself, thought that was sustainable.

Again, happy it's not my problem, but people are too quick to connect his tenure/departure here with the situation there.  Apples and coffee cups.
