    He should be. I don’t understand why he wasn’t fired in December. Instead he was suspended for 3 games. The AD really has some explaining to do

    This guy was actually one of the 5 finalists for AD of the year. I think we can safely remove him from that list now. He has had the tape since November and suspended the coach for 3 games and fined him $50K. Wow!

    IMO, I dont know why the AD still has his job. Imagine what he was doing at Robert Morris and prior to that. I cant believe this behavior just started recently.

    Obviously has anger issues and obviously shouldn’t be coaching. He is there to teach and to be a role model for the students. Deserves to be fired.

    The AD needs to go also, Tim Fernetti…He literally tried to cover this up, he needs to be punished for sweeping this under the rug

    Definitely needed to be fired, but man, Rice looked soooo devastated when they interviewed him afterwards. If it weren’t for the fact that I remember why he was fired in the first place, I’d feel sorry for him.

    I am just thinking if I was AD and I saw that tape the first thing that would be going through my mind would be…”he is lucky one of these students hasnt fucked him up” and secondly….”this guy got to go..not now….but RIGHT NOW.” I dont think any amount of explaining is going to make this AD look any better.
