When USC hired Steve Sarkisian as HC he showed up in front of donors slurring his words & falling down drunk. Her was caught drinking at practices. Naturally they canned him. But he sued them because he claimed being an alcoholic is a disability. Nobody knows for sure but the suit disappeared so I suspect SC paid him the $10 million he wanted just to get it to go away. yep these poor guys.

Castle Ram Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 5 hours ago, Headbutt said: I think he's ready to retire and right now it's all about the $$. He's got a hell of a case against CSU regarding the release of information from his personnel file. He could probably take that settlement in lieu of (or in addition to) a buyout offer. I don't think we're able to get rid of him for another two years. but the latest developments might change that. Yep he might have hit the CSU lottery thanks to the Coloradoan. 4.5 million buyout plus how many million for a breach of privacy. The only good news is the university itself not the athletic department will have to pay. Somebody within the university not only embarrassed the school, president and administration but may cost them more money than we care to think about.

Fortunately, this is America and people have choices. Lots of players don't want to play for Larry, but some do and those that do, know what they are getting themselves into. Its not like he has ever misled anyone about the type of coach he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teaching these young men about integrity, doing what's right, work ethic, failures and successes is not part of larry's job ( thank god ). It's there families job and it doesn't stop at 18.

How on earth could you come to such a conclusion? Jesus christ, some ex-con who attended Boise State is trying to tell me how academia works. What am I doing with my life? I need a new hobby. Wait, didn't you drop out and move to New York?

GoState99755 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 18 hours ago, toonkee said: http://www.coloradoan.com/story/sports/csu/mens-basketball/2017/02/15/colorado-state-basketball-larry-eustachy-investigation/97949522/ CSU men’s basketball coach Larry Eustachy created a culture of fear and intimidation and emotionally abused his players, newly obtained records from a 2013-2014 university investigation show. The report's findings led to a recommendation that his contract be terminated. In a summary of the investigation, Eustachy acknowledged he has told his assistant coaches to “shut the f--- up” and called players “f----g c--ts.” He also said he “crossed the line” and later said he went “way over the line” when questioned about whether the atmosphere in his program was one of fear and intimidation. The CSU investigation included interviews with 14 players and basketball and athletic department staff members, according to documents received and confirmed by the Coloradoan. The investigation was led by former athletic director Jack Graham, former deputy athletic director John Morris and current executive associate senior athletic director Steve Cottingham and under the consent of Colorado State University president Tony Frank. “I am deeply disappointed on a very personal level that someone chose to publicize confidential information from my personnel file," Eustachy said in a statement released by the university. "That said, I fully recognize that I’m not perfect. I have my faults and strive every day to be better than I was yesterday." The Coloradoan spoke with six people interviewed during the investigation and eight players on the 2013-14 team. The CSU investigation documents the coach’s outbursts, including punching and breaking dry erase boards in locker rooms and throwing unopened soda cans against walls. The document is 90 pages and the investigation spanned 99 days during the 2013-14 season. “I believed Eustachy should be terminated and believed we had the basis to terminate for cause,” Graham, who hired Eustachy in 2012, said when reached for comment. “I was advised by Tony Frank that we did not have the basis to terminate for cause and that Eustachy was to be placed on a personal improvement plan.” Graham would not provide additional comment about the investigation. The president of the university signs off on the termination of all CSU employees. "Colorado State University is prohibited by law from disclosing personnel information and from commenting on confidential personnel matters, particularly where employees have a legal expectation of privacy." the university statement read. "... The university is committed to the highest standards of integrity, and when any issues have arisen, the university has taken appropriate action to maintain that integrity in our programs and ensure our standards are met. The program review at issue took place several years ago and we stand by the manner in which we dealt with the allegations — then and now. We stand behind, and are proud of, the environment our athletic department and Coach Eustachy have since created for our student-athletes." All true, but VERY OLD NEWS. This is been known to those close to the pgm for nearly 4-yrs now. Larry if far from perfect, however he's the one we're stuck with. ¡¡¡GO STATE!!!

But The Bobby Knight meme is also just a bullshit excuse to absolve assholes. I coach bb on lower levels and have friends that coach in HS & college. Every coach has a different 'style' but being a rageaholic dick and getting personal with players & staff all the time is totally poor form. I played in college for a guy like that who probably would've gone further in his D1 career if he would've just toned it down a bit. There are plenty of other ways to teach hustle, toughness and turn out 'men' without being abusive or acting like a marine drill instructor. If Eustachy is still raging around like portrayed, I'd say that's a big red flag he's drinking again. But I have no idea how current or valid that article is.

But as a player, I'd pick the easy going coach. As a parent, I'll pick the coach who graduates his players. Maybe this already exists but I'd love to see a list of coaching greats, winning percentage, and grad rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
