Should Keith Williams Be Fired?

[onlyHskrfaninIL]

I had to put not sure yet. Too many unanswered questions yet for me. If the university knew about the prior 2 and warned him that the third would be unacceptable, then they have to fire him. At the same time, if he is a decent guy that just makes bad decisions, it might be possible to work with him and come to better outcome. And that's all assuming he actually is guilty of the offense.

The university would have a bad background check service if they didn't know about his priors, and any industry dealing with teaching/kids usually has some of the most in-depth background checks. I moreso wonder if/what the terms were had the HR dept had a conversation with him prior to proceeding with the hiring process.

If he gets fired say goodbye to those 4-5* receiver recruits we've gotten or are still in on.

This is why this is such a divisive subject. This should not even be an issue.. it's like worrying about who our punter is going to be. The picture is much bigger than this.

I voted yes. This is his third one and that is inexcusable imo.

If Carl Pelini didn't get fired for his many transgressions and Tim Miles is still working here with his, then Williams won't be fired. I can see him with a leash as short as a choke chain, but he won't be fired.

Carl and Miles, however, didn't get arrested for anything. They have plausible deniability (however hollow it may be) with the general, uninformed public. Coach Williams doesn't have that luxury.

What did miles do?

Rileys sound bite made it sound like the plan is to keep him.

Football comes first here folks

It comes first at every single one of your 100 favorite teams, too.

He should be behind bars. Doesn't necessarily mean he will be. He should be fired. Doesn't necessarily mean he will be.

Kind of surprised a college football coach wouldn't be able to hire a lawyer to get him out of a couple DUI convictions. I know a guy who makes considerably less and has gotten out of 11 (and counting).

Take it to the Oregon board.

I was wondering that too. Only thing I found on google was a jab at tubby smith via Twitter

That's disgusting. With all due respect, that is absolutely disgusting.

While I don't think I'd make the same decision, I can think of plenty of scenarios where Williams would be retained but it wouldn't be at a "win at all costs" mentality. There's some space in between the ends of the dichotomy.
