I read about as much as I could stand. At times it seemed like an article looking to manufacture as many problems as it could. They may have some issues, but... Almost all the "problems" were revealed by departing players? I'm not sure they are necessarily the most unbiased sources. A couple times it really did sound like sour grapes. Other times it may have been related unfairly with a bit of spin. None, some, or all could be true, but I'm sure it will get sorted by the school if any actionable item actually has validity.

He is out of his league being a college HC. Put it that way. I will be surprised if he makes it through next fall.

Maybe he isn't BUT this article can't be taken as evidence of that. This reads like a whiny Yelp review. To be clear, I have zero dog in this fight and I don't know anything about what is or is not going on in Greeley. However, this article is a horrible example of proper journalism and writing in general that makes the players -- who may truly have legitimate complaints -- come across as petty and naive.

Further, the reference to "NCAA violations" is obvious clickbait since, at no point in this article, are there references to anything that resembles actual violations on the part of the coaching staff. The only thing that comes remotely close is when it talks about percentages of financial aid allocated to walk-ons which, in fact, is not administered by a football coaching staff but by the school's NCAA compliance department. A simple interview with anyone associated with the athletic department or someone willing to be quoted under something other than an assumed name might have cleared that up. But, who has the time for accuracy or clarity when you <checks author's bio link> have to go walk your cat(??)?
