Well, when you show up drunk to games and do your radio shows drunk, it had to happen at some point.
At least thats according to what people close to the program have told me.

A rather strong charge no matter who its from ATrain so I hope there is information to back it up....that said ODU took quite a fall from 2011-12 to 2012-13 but Im a bit surprised he was canned midseason

He seems pretty drunk in the video from Deadspin. I tried to find it elsewhere, but it looks like it got pulled from YouTube.

Look at the statement released by the school. "Not about wins and losses," needing "leadership," and "mentorship." I trust my sources (that I will not name since they are also employed by ODU).

Just goes to show how an addiction can destroy the good he did at ODU. Hopefully he gets back on track if all of this is true.
