Pat Ivey out

Oooops......sorry....just saw Quintana started a thread on this earlier. Still sucks!

Blow to the mid-section.

This does not pass the "smell test". On 12/6/15, he was staying. I only wonder if he promoted the boycott in any way???

Edit:
"That original player talked with other teammates who agreed to the boycott, then informed coaches of the plan Saturday. Team strength and conditioning coach Pat Ivey visited the Concerned Student 1950 camp on Mel Carnahan Quadrangle with former Missouri player Sean Coffey earlier in the day to tell group leaders' of the team's decision."

That piece-of-crap boycott was too big of a deal not to have some heads roll. There are some pissed donors from what I hear. I'd love to know what Pinkel thinks right now.

We're frickeddddd if Odom doesn't pan out.

first Kul now Ivey

I thought it was odd he was being kept after how involved he was in the boycott. Can't expect to go behind your bosses back on something this big and not have any blowback. Feel bad for Ivey but he did this to himself by not taking it to the AD and GP. Have read posts on PM about how he really pissed off the coaching staff and even tried to apologize after the boycott blew up. He helped to hurt the Mizzou program and brand by involving himself and not informing his bosses.

We will get someone else and be fine, just hate to see Ivey go out like this, but not unexpected.

Has nothing to do with the Boycott directly. Mizzou is not in the "payback" business. It has to do with being overly involved with players and probably violations of benefits i.e. loans, meals etc.

I don't have first hand knowledge, I was warned about this by a M.D. here in Omaha that also is an alumnus and booster. Our usual annual donation of 25k doesn't get us in the inner circle of the heavyweight boosters, but her family pledged 100k for 2016 and that's when the big boosters shared the scuttlebutt that maybe Ivey was taking his "Father Figure" role a little too far.

This....

If he was involved in the boycott, get him the frick out then. Zero tolerance over that ridiculous shite. He's a grown fricking man and should of known better.

wondering if MR and BO sat down with Big Time Donors and MR and BO had to let him go to help keep the money coming.

Also, the AD could be pissed that a member of their staff was actively subverting the goals of the athletic department.

Good timing forthe Ivey firing. wait until the students have left for break so he can't start a revolt. I'm sure that's why everything was good two weeks ago.
