No. It would depend on the facts and a quick evaluation of situation including getting some input from counsel for the coach. Likely some suspension. Likely announcement of the action taken and some info on what’s going on. Probably no raise or renewal except possible conditional renewal. If it looked like dui would be dropped or renewed quickly, then probably less action taken.
MSU’s relative silence and inaction is a bad route and is hurting MSU. Each dui had had exacerbating facts. Way worse than Few’s. Unless it was likely that the DC’s charge was going to go away quickly, he should have been pushed to resign or fired. His third? Please. Sorry guys. You F’ed up. Resolve the charges or move on.
The DC should never have gotten a raise. Suspending an asst coach for a longer period of time is not a big deal.
What is MSU going to do if these guys get convicted.? Doing what MSU has done appears to be a huge mistake.
Times have changed.
So it all depends on the situation, and we all know very little of these situations that happened with MSU coaches. The few details we do know, as I stated earlier, the optics aren't good. I know there are more details to exactly what transpired in both cases, and that information will come out. I have no idea about the raise thing, but at some point Vigen and\or Costello will have to explain that.
As stated, I don't know any more than what was reported, have just heard some complaints, unsubstantiated rumors about the way the cops handled the situation. This should all come out via review of vest cam, dash cam, etc.
Here is what I can promise you though. When Waded, Costello, and Vigen had a meeting after this happened, at no point in that meeting did Waded ask..... "So if we do the suspension thing, how is that going to impact the Win\Loss record?" Despite what CDA and a bunch of others are posting. (I know CDA doesn't actually believe this is how it went down, as he just plays that card to get a rise out of the Cat posters on here, as that's his schtick) Cue his funny bunny creative post in 3..2..1..
