Wright State is just screaming that the AD and coach hated each other. No other reason to fire him.

Whoa, looks like Cuonzo also being reviewed in connection to the Hufnagel(sp?) investigation.
http://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/article/Cuonzo-Martin-s-actions-in-Cal-scandal-to-be-6895026.php
Apparently the reporter went to Martin with her complaints. They're looking into what he knew and when he notified the proper officials.
Sounds like there's a separate investigation into Cal officials sexually assaulting students which they're trying to tie Hufnagel's situation in with. He's saying it's unrelated and his firing was an overreaction based on what's going on elsewhere in the Cal administration or STTE.

Yeah, dtm, the kg01 corner is throwing in the towel.
A couple of odd firings in the Horizon League. Jeter wasn't bad. Was kinda slightly above average as far as I could tell. I think a lot of these AD's will be suffering from a strong case of 'be careful what you wish for'-itis (looking at you, Wright St. AD).

Speaking of "be careful what you wish for", anyone catch the ESPN announcers basically telling GT fans exactly that about CBG?!! After talking about how Bennett took a while to get going at UVA, they then went on to throw hossanas at CBG, and telling fans that our program has a better chance of sliding backwards than moving up if we let CBG go. OK, guys...
CBG has a lot of guys in his corner apparently.

This isn't totally apples to apples. Virginia's two best seasons have been Bennett's 6th and 7th year. His first 5 were still better than Gregory's, but the disparity isn't as large as you referenced above.
This would be a more accurate comparison:

2011–12 Georgia Tech 11–20 4–12 11th

2015–16 Georgia Tech 20–14 8-10 10th
Georgia Tech: 75–85 (.465) 27–61 (.307)
Also keep in mind the league added Notre Dame, Louisville, and Pitt a few years ago, which makes the conference schedule noticeably more difficult. I would argue Bennett's win % his first few years would be different had he been playing in today's league.
Not making excuses for Gregory, but the argument you laid out above is not really fair.

Sorry, but LOL
Smacks of guys blindly advocating for a coach just 'cause .... he's a coach?
Nah, dude is dirty as the day is long.

With respect to the admirable way he's rebuilt that program (even if rumors of him being sleazy as hell are true) following that awful & unreal murder scandal, I respectfully say HELL NO I don't want Scott Drew anywhere near our campus.
When your fellow coaches around the country vote you as the dirtiest coach in the country, there is something going on there. He was also referenced as "faking his faith" to seem like a godly man to make him more likable for parents IIRC.

Believe it was Tim Brando during the ACC Tournament, who said CBG had a "Calvary" coming in next year. Also stated, GT would have "an experienced team".
For a moment I thought he was referring to Carolina or Duke. I visualized Roy or K as the coach he was speaking of.
Back to reality. During our winning streak near the end of the season in one of the post game pressers, our very own Gregory was mentioning the "rebuild" we are in the process of.
