Ross Bjork let go?

[crackerjax]

Noticed that Vitter introduced Luke as the new coach (see @UMChancellor) and not Bjork. In fact, Bjork has not posted even one tweet since the A&M game when he had to apologize for the TT video being played. Not even any comments on the egg bowl win...

Also explains naming Luke permanent coach. Can’t expect to bring in a decent coach when you don’t even have an athletic director in place, much less that the NCAA is about to drop the hammer. Keep Luke to ease the transition.

No inside info and don’t really care, but it all just makes sense that if he hasn’t already been fired, it’s imminent.

*Edit to add that within 45 minutes after I posted this, Bjork posted about Luke on Twitter. Still think he’s gone.

I hope that win win against their not rival was worth it.

Seems like the the fans have turned on him if nothing else.

After Thursday night, one of two things should have happened at any sane university:

Either Bjork resigns in utter embarrassment, or he is forced out for not at least getting control of it at halftime (in addition to the other shenanigans from the last 4 years).

If neither of these happen, then he basically has a job for life because they deserve each other.

It’s about time. What did the guy have to do to be hated there?

I heard several weeks ago from someone that I trust that Bjork resigned and agreed to stay until sanctions were announced. I never ran with it because I have heard that nowhere else. It will be interesting to see what happens with him when it all goes down.

He obviously saw your post and tweeted to try and cover**

You can put it with all the coaching rumors in tomorrow's SPS magazine

Bjork will be fired after sanctions.

He's employed bc their response to the NCAA depends on it.

Why is this not obvious?

Bjork was at the Egg,Bowl in OM gear.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

The only answer. He is positioned to be pushed into the sword.

Because the obvious answer was to can him an freeze after the NOI and get ahead of the sanctions.

Only at OM .. can an AD get 3 different teams on NCAA probation and still have a job. LOIC is almost a given.

Don't forget Larry Templeton had two football probations and possible basketball shenanigans while he was AD.
