An interesting theory...

STolen from a collection of other boards...

OM assistant coaches are all likely facing multiple year show causes. Heard, Batoon, and Kiffin all magically find new work in the last month after spending multiple years at OM (where essentially no staff changeover occurred).

There likely were were some decent incentives for these assistant coaches to STFU about recruiting improprieties and stay onboard with OM continuing the shenanigans for the Freeze tenure. Now that they are all facing show causes and loosing their source of income.... I wonder if they took immunity deals to bury Lord Almighty Freeze and Light Heavyweight Champion of the World Bdork... and allow themselves the ability to go find work elsewhere, similar to what Donnie Tyndall's assistants did. This theory, as wild as it is, might make sense considering those coaches are working at other schools pretty seamlessly. If they were facing show causes, wouldn't the hiring schools be hesitant to hire them?

If you were hired and told to do X, Y, and Z after you got hired on... and X, Y, and Z caused you to lose your source of income... why wouldn't you rat on your employer?

Anywho, Happy Sunday!

Surely a "Kiffin" is too loyal to engage in those kinds of shenanigans!11!1!

I thought the Bama assistant would make national news. Never heard much else. Seems late for that if you're OM.

If the NCAA has given immunity to a coach, they are going for the jugular.

Worth noting that Heard and Batoon were not mentioned in the initial NOA. Hence their freedom to leave(IF not named in the amended version).
Kiffin definitely makes your point for you though.

Thats a good point to note but we also don't know what's on the 2nd letter/addendum and what interviews and potential immunity could have been a result of that.

Like I've said before - I don't think Freeze has the balls to fire someone. He wants to be liked too much.

I agree with this. That's why the Rebel company line is so hard to believe. They'd have you think this shakeup is because Freeze doesn't tolerate losing.

And the jobs these coaches are leaving them for aren't exactly top tier jobs either.
