I don't think you have to fire the guy, you gave him a Dollar General sized contract for just two years after all. New AD armed with all the Stryker money will be able to find a new guy, perhaps another Hawk whose career record embarrasses all of today's MAC West coaches.

Bye the way, tell Titus Wright to get into the portal if you don't get a REAL coach. Titus was a stud as a freshman and two seasons later, he has not improved. Kind of reminds me of talented freshmen under our former coach.

If you didn't hear, our Coach Bates has been busy playing in Golf in the summer. We need a new coach, someone who is committed to the growth and success of our players (Titus Wright) is one of them.

Everyone agrees Bates should go (for Western’s sake, not necessarily ours). I think Jerry’s point was he is only on a two year contract. So he need not be fired, just let his contract elapse.

Thanks Ramy that was my point, it is what they did with Hawkins, simply let the contract expire.

The AD there had one foot out the door to retirement and used the pandemic to justify her actions. WMU will be just fine, a new AD will find a guy, perhaps even Saddi Washington will listen this time.
