An employee decides not to cooperate (even with legit reasons), there isn't much you can do. I'm not saying he couldn't have handled this better, but at some point the buck has to stop and answer have to be found.
First, Auburn does not acknowledge that Bruce has 'legit reasons' from a legal perspective, which seems to be a huge part of the problem. It appears they are pretty bitter and allowing it to affect their interactions, as right/wrong pressing their case is expensive legal battle
I'm totally with you that firing Bruce isn't a damning move. What Auburn appears to try and be doing is reduce public outcry about firing Bruce + avoid buyout.
While I get that being attractive it isn't realistic. It is like going into a divorce trying to bleed your soon to be ex spouse dry. All you are going to accomplish is a long drawn out messy divorce

Tough that the POS Gogue hated sports and this new queer is following suit.

Frankie Sullivan Rivals Article
quote:
"Failing to explain to Frankie why he's been suspended is extremely unusual and very frustrating," said Ted Mann, a Birmingham attorney who is representing Sullivan. "All he has right now is a letter that explains nothing."
quote:
Henry Gimenez, a partner with Lightfoot, Franklin & White, a Birmingham-based firm retained by Auburn to assist its investigation into former associate head coach Chuck Person, requested to interview Sullivan in October. Sullivan agreed. A few days later, Sullivan sat down with Gimenez and answered questions with Mann in attendance.
The interview ended, Mann said, without a hint of trouble.
quote:
"Frankie saw nothing and heard nothing that could be considered an NCAA violation, an SEC violation or a breach of Auburn policy," Mann said. "Nothing said in that interview should lead to a suspension."
quote:
Mann declined to provide a summary of Gimenez's questions because he said both parties agreed to keep the meeting confidential.
To that end, Mann was shocked by an ESPN.com report published Nov. 13 that indicated Sullivan's suspension was "related to the same type of issues that the FBI uncovered in its investigation of former Tigers associate head coach Chuck Person."
quote:
"....This is supposed to be a confidential process. That's what they requested."
quote:
"Two members of the men's basketball support staff were suspended with pay earlier this week by the Auburn Athletics Department," Keeter wrote Friday evening. "Both were informed that Auburn uncovered potential violations of university policy. As the investigation unfolds, they will have the opportunity to respond.

Oh I definitely agree. I'm not saying they are in the right here, I side with Bruce on letting the FBI investigation end first, but from the administrative stand point, I can see that side as well. If Bruce talks now or after the FBI is done, he can still incriminate himself, so I get their frustration.

100% agree. I don't necessarily agree with the path AU is taking on this, but I won't say I don't understand why they are doing it, from a business stand point.
