Just burn it all down. We're good at football again. We don't need Basketball anymore.

Not a good look for the program, but they were not fired so that is a good sign. Was this paid or unpaid? My guess is that they knew about Chuck's meetings in New York.

I wouldn't read too much into that. Leave is often a precursor to termination.

I'm afraid this is not going to end well.

Agreed. Once we got through the initial Person/FBI shock I was optimistic we could brush this off and move forward. I still think we may end up ok in regards to the NCAA coming down on our program but this Bruce vs internal compliance/Leath/admin struggle seems, at best, irreparable.

You can explain 1 rogue assistant, but not 3.

They either found something (maybe even unrelated to the Person thing) or these assistants followed Pearl's lead and aren't cooperating.

Schlabach strikes again. I said it before and I'll say it again. Anyone that would leak info to that asshat does not have Auburn's best interest in mind.

Aw, man. I took Logic with him in 1993. We was a cool, fun guy in class. Hope it turns out that he did not do anything wrong.

Yep this looks worse than the Person thing as far as if it involves Bruce. This isn’t a good look at all.

Both of these staffers were/are close with CP. CP had plans to become a head coach and was possibly planning on bringing these two with him. I guarantee neither of these had knowledge of CP's dealings as they were happening but I could see a scenario where they found out about it after the fact and had moved to hide the body so to speak.
