mikescherrer8 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Crazy, I was really looking forward to that game. Niagara was recruiting well also. A real shame if he doesn’t end up returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeseph Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Quote "We respect Patrick’s request for privacy for him and his family," Gray also said in the statement. "We wish the entire Beilein family well as they address these personal issues." IMO this doesn't sound like a back injury led to his resignation...

rma Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Niagara’s athletic department is an absolute shitshow currently (on and off field). Stuff like this would not surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotherobot Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 And to think I was jealous Niagara got him over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Shocking story so close to the start of the season. Sadly my first guess was some kind of sexual (mis)conduct. I mean if there is a true health issue involved then I'm sorry. However it just seems extremely odd all the way around. Tough break if you're purple eagles fan as this was a hire to get excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerekRx Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Just saw that Greg Paulus is taking over as head coach. Felt like just the other day he was playing for Duke. Don't know much about his coaching history but a name for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rma Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Judging from the comments and the twitter rumors it doesn't look good. At the very least an assistant was (is?) dating the DOBO. At the very most....I'll let your mind wander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hired by Navy -- serves as an assistant for one year. Hired by Ohio State -- spent two years as video coordinator (non-coaching) before being promoted to assistant coach where he served for the four years during Ohio State's decline. At the end of the season the whole staff was fired. Hired by Louisville -- at the end of his one season the whole staff was fired. Hired by George Washington -- at the end of his one season the whole staff was fired. Hired by Niagara -- before his first season starts the head coach resigns, as the only member of the staff to have ever been an actual D1 assistant coach prior to this year he is named the acting head coach.
