[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 900976, member: 2299"] The reasons, as I can see them, to escort someone off the premise after firing them are as follows. 1. To prevent them from taking corporate secrets with them. I don't see how a fired coach would take anything of value in that way with him or would even have access to. The closest I could think of is if an assistant leaves and they used insider recruiting info to recruit someone saying that the other staff didn't think as highly of them as others, but that wouldn't apply to this situation. Maybe there is and I can't think of it but I don't see it. 2. Fear of emotional response. Either through violence or negative words and bad talking. The former I see no reason to believe, as Collins has never had any hint of anything like that and the buy out would largely remove any stress factor related to money that is often related to violence after losing a job. As far as bad talking goes, if you're firing the AD then who is there really to bad talk? The president is largely hands off and you're going to be getting new leadership in the athletic department anyways. Maybe Collins just blew up and had to be escorted because his state of being was too unpredictable at the time. I don't see it, but could be. 3. Reason of firing warrants it. If you do something that is going to get you arrested, and that's why you're being fired. Yeah. Escort away, and to prison. Losing too much isn't that though. Probably some other reasons I am missing, but I don't really see any real harm that would have come (or reasonably believed would have come) from having Collins address the team to tell them he will no longer be their coach. Just saying it's SOP doesn't really fly for me as you would expect the reason it to be that falls into one of the above. So my guess is one of two things. 1. Collins was told he was fired, and was given an escort to follow him as he did what he needed to do and then left. That is reasonable that a fired employee wouldn't have free reign to go wherever. Collins then decided he didn't want to address the team and his escort stayed with him until he got to his car. 2. Whoever made the decision was annoyed they had to deal with it, and just wanted it over as soon as possible and viewed a team meeting as unnecessary, ' I think 1 is less likely than 2, but in either case someone from within the department should have been the one to tell the players. Either allow Collins to do so, and see that he does, have Key do it, or do it yourself. The players deserve the respect of finding about it before it goes to social media and is reported. [/QUOTE]
