Message: [QUOTE="UBSU, post: 4598357, member: 2966"] I guess “forced retirement” might be the most appropriate term to use. The university gave him ample opportunities to control his exit, but JB chose to put the responsibility on them to make the decision. Seems things have been going on behind the scenes over the last few weeks and finally came to a head. As someone said, they ripped the bandage off quickly, and were done with it. Unceremoniously. The rise of the program was impressive under his tenure, no doubt. But the precipitous fall has been an embarrassment to the university and loyal fans. His stubbornness and defiance to change the way he coached the game, snarkiness and disrespect to reporters, and a unique way of berating his players during games and post-game pressers showed the game has passed him by. Is he owed a debt of gratitude, absolutely. However, I don’t think anyone is questioning it was time to turn the page and move on. [/QUOTE]
