Coach Fired For Being Gay??
When people get fired from any job, they usually have some excuse as to why the company did them wrong, or they were fired for some off the wall reason. This coach however may be on to something. I don’t know about you but in all my years of watching sports, I have NEVER seen any coach in any sport get fired after going 25-6 that season. That is just what happened to Virginia Commonwealth University volleyball coach James Finley. Finley who is openly gay, has coached at the school for 8 years, and this past season they finished with the best record during his 8 year tenure. He was fired one day by the athletic director and told the program needed to go in a different direction. A new athletic director took over this past August and that is when Finley says he started to feel isolated by the administration. My personal opinion on this matter is I might agree with coach Finley. Anyone who goes 25-6 as a coach under no circumstances other than some drastic reason, should never be fired as a coach. That is a great record for a season. The fact the the athletic director knew he was gay when he took over also adds to the potential that this firing was motivated by something other than wins and losses.

Coach Finds Out He Is About To Be Fired How?
GRIMEY!! That is pretty much all I can say about this situation. Morgan State University football coach Donald Hill-Eley has been the coach there for 10 years. You would think if they were going to fire him they would give him the respect to do it face to face or at least give him a heads up. Nope! Not this school.The coach actually found out about the whole plan to fire him and replace him when he was ACCIDENTALLY sent an email that was meant for other school administrators. The email actually detailed the entire plan to replace the coach. The crazy thing is this happened a couple days ago, and the president of the school has still not said anything to the coach about the email or the plan to fire him. This is a prime reason in sports of why players and coaches don’t trust management, or in this case, don’t trust the school officials. Check after the jump for more on the story. IamJOE357
