He was a QB coach for Bethune Cookman, and a GA at North Texas prior to that. He played LB and Catcher at Marshall. He was involved in the lawsuit against BC.
From the sounds of what I read, it was a very toxic atmosphere at BC. The HC was a crazy person.
Thanks for the defense, but I was a quality control coach at north texas. At the D1 level, I'm ineligible to be a GA. Anyone who received their first degree at least seven years prior, cannot be a GA at the D1 level . . . which is why claims similar to country's are comical.
Years ago, before north texas, I was hired as a GA at Virginia. Pruett coached there for a season after leaving Marshall. Many football personnel and athletic department personnel were still there. He made a call, got me an interview, and I was hired. But, days later, they had to pull the offer because they were told by compliance that it was an NCAA violation. The rule which made me ineligible had recently passed just months prior, and many staffs weren't aware of it. That's why I ended up at north texas.
At some schools, quality control coaches are put far ahead of GAs. Maryland's new DBs coach was a QC at Alabama the last few years. He was making $90,000/year being an off the field coach. Before that, he was a head coach at a DC charter school. Alabama just hire former Maryland/Illinois OC and former NMSU head coach Mike locksley as a QC. Many of the P5 schools get some very talented coaches to be QCs. QC coaches are unlimited. Unlike GAs, a team can have as many QC coaches as they want. So, power schools can get former HCs and coordinators on their staff to help game plan and breakdown opponents.
Cookman's former HC has caused all types of trouble at Alabama State in his first year. That place is as screwed up as Cookman. Speaking of Cookman, below is an article from today about an employee making anti-gay and racist comments. Coincidentally, that same employee is the one who let the student go, undisciplined, after he admitted using racial slurs against me, threatening me with murder, pulling a gun on me, etc. He had nearly a dozen arrests in the prior two years, yet was allowed on campus (even though the sergeant on campus claimed he had no business being a student there). Three weeks after he was allowed to walk free after using slurs and pulling a gun, he committed multiple violent felonies against a random white guy; he had been driving around shooting a handgun out the sunroof of his SUV. He came across a random white guy walking down the street, jumped out of his car with two friends, robbed the guy, and pistol whipped and beat the guy so much that his face was so bloodied he couldn't be identified by matching his ID with what his face looked like.
This is a kid who was allowed on campus with nearly a dozen arrests since coming to Daytona, some of which were for violent crimes.
This safety leader on campus refused to even chastise him for his actions. Instead, she chose to blame me for scaring him by going over to his house (which he asked me to do). I scared him so much, that he admitted to sending his GF and child away for the night and having many of his friends come to his house that night all with guns who were ready "to get wild on this cracker."
Bizarro world. Now, this report is released where she welcomed a new white hire by saying "now you'll see what it's like to work for us."
Is there any wonder a school with just 3000 students had 14 students shot in 11 months?
