Mike Jeffcoat fired from Texas Wesleyan fired today. An issue with a tweet response to a potential recruit. Hopefully someone with more skill than I can post a link to the story.

Update: Texas university fires baseball coach for telling prospect the team doesn’t recruit from Colorado because players there fail drug tests, criticizes 'liberal politicians' http://apne.ws/HrRld1f
What did he do wrong?
Slabach said the university “does not discriminate on the basis of the public policy of any state.”Quote:

what a dumbass move by Jeffcoat......if this is true.
you don't communicate with an 18 year old kid like that.....I mean, that kid is not even old enough to own an AR-15 yet....poor baby.
Essentially he emailed the kid and said, 'we don't recruit kids from your state because they can't pass a drug test'.
Which, if true, isnt a very good look.Quote:

Yeah that sounds good. Had he spoken this to/about a kid from Mississippi he'd get a pass...Quote:
