re: there is a problem in the Atheletic department

The OP is a collection of different rumors and (as the OP states) his opinion. Mostly stemming from Phillip Marshall’s articles on 247.

... so how do we know OP wasn't wrong ?

So, just breaking this down

- we know that Burgess is working with the athletic department after coaches went above Greene to Gogue.

- we know that Greene was implementing a 10% cut to each sport per the direction of his former boss, Leath.

- we know that those coaches were tired of the cuts and wanted someone from the university to determine the necessity of them with the goal to reverse them

The rest is a little more murky. I think the bottom line is that anytime you have coaches banding together and going over the AD to the school’s president is a bad thing. It’s hard to evaluate the severity of Gogue implanting Burgess in the AD due to the fact that Gogue doesn’t like being involved with athletic matters and he’s on his way out the door. I personally don’t believe that PTB are the root of this but I think anyone can be convinced they’re not happy that their effort to take control of the football search was stemmed by Gogue and handed over to Greene. But I’m not sure that’s entering the current field of play right now.

I think that’s a fair summary of what’s known and what’s going on.
