Um.. what I read is Gil was fired for standing up for academic excellence and integrity (I.e. star player benched for cheating on an exam, and fellow players didnтАЩt like it)
Mike would have definitely done that and did his first year at WSU in particular on several occasions . I just found it interesting that he was also a lawyer that had a very successful start to his college coaching career only to be pushed out. Some personalities just don't always work in certain environments and Mike was certainly a personality some had trouble with. All in jest and just an similarity that popped out as I read the article.
Leave it to UW to fire a coach that never lost a game......Must have been his similarities to Mike Leach.
