Previous Staff Members in Contact with Current Players

[zoogs]

Fisher is all class, at least as far as we can tell publicly. Seems like a good guy cheering on his former players.

This is a pretty crazy charge to levy on anyone. Not to say the culture doesn't need to go through change after Bo's tenure. That was going to be true with or without "sabotage".

If you are a coach an one school and you are actively contacting players from another school, is that an NCAA violation?

Tampering with the player would be the violation. Like trying to get them to come to your new school, etc.

Josh on USC just said a connection to the program, someone he trusts and he knows said a former coach is reaching out to players to stir the pot against Riley's staff.

I saw a tweet by Papuchis immediately after Nevraska lost, celebrating their win. Not sure when their game finished, but also not sure if there is anything to read into here. Just noting it.

Paps wouldn't reach out to stir the pot with any current NU players.

Unless Bo told him to.

Well, if true, it will eventually come out. Nothing is secret or permanently erased in this digital world. If someone knows something, its only a matter of time.

I hope this is just speculation. Pretty low if true.

It's all about team culture and expectations. I would love to know how Riley addresses this team - whether he's straight Mr. Rogers with insignificant platitudes, or gets down to brass tacks about what we REALLY need to do as a team. I would like to know if he and his staff are intentional about making a brotherhood culture, where I believe Bo created camps in the locker room, whether intentionally or not.

It is nice to see that Riley doesn't break kids down on the sideline for the nation to see, though. So there's that.

He sits down with them every week at the ice cream social and promises not to give them chocolate syrup unless they commit fewer penalties.

Well, that certainly isn't working...

Any activities like this would be grounds for legal action. For example, I can assure you that if Bo tried to undermine the team or 'stir the pot' against Riley, that would be grounds to terminate any further payments to him on his contract as well as a suit for damages etc. You can darn well bet Bo has ZERO goodwill remaining with any of the Administration and or Perlman etc. They would not hesitate to save the budget a few million and embarrass the hell out of Bo if they can. Assistant Coachs who may still be collecting money would also be in similar jeopardy. Alienation, interference with contract, slander, libel, etc. There would be numerous legal actions against anyone that is 'bad mouthing', etc. Trash talking if it is provable is actionable legally. I would think Riley and Company would have legal grounds as well.

There were some people that believed Bo did this in 2004

No, Bo undermined Frank to try and get the HC job.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the rumored issues with Bo came when he was at Oklahoma in 2004

Just a small fact that not many people know about. He was in Pedy's ear after the KSU game until he was fired after CU.

The same Pederson that virtually ignored Bo during the coaching search?
