lol that Everson "reported" this and Ned put it behind a paywall. Here is the entire article

Kansas State has denied allegations from former players that former Wildcat volleyball coach Suzie Fritz was fired by athletics director Gene Taylor via text message.
Taylor and the department announced the dismissal in a press release put out Sunday morning.

Both that archive.ph and the 12ft.io haven't worked for a while on mercury articles; it always just gives the first couple lines of the article you have here.  But we have @Kat Kid to get us our fix.

Considering Klieman’s success, and the early showing by Tang, if Gene can nab Sullivan. He’ll really be proving himself as a home run hitter with these coaching hires.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

There's no way he fired her via text message.

Real being real, the only one of these that takes any real foresight was Tang, the other two are really obvious and would take some real incompetence to fumble.

Similar to what Dax said, if we could just be competitive in half of our sports, I would take that at this point (competitive to me being defined as making a sport's version of the NCAA tourney most years and occasionally competing for a Big 12 title). That's really not too much to ask and we have peer programs that accomplish this regularly.

Right now, we're clearly in the bottom half of the league in soccer (Dib just needs 4-5 more years), volleyball, baseball, women's golf, tennis and rowing. Track has also been slipping from Rovelto's typical output.

I still don't understand why 5 years isn't enough to determine that a coach can't meet the aforementioned competitive baseline and then move on if they can't. Coaches are proving in virtually every sport that you can take a doormat and turn them into a contender in 2-3 years.

my sources are saying that gene fired suzie via a tiktok video where he danced to the hit beyoncé song irreplaceable


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

UNLV will *probably* lose tomorrow night to Wazzu. If they don't, then they'll very likely lose to San Diego on Saturday. So, would be great for Mean Gene to have this thing wrapped up by the end of the weekend.

If that's true, that's unfortunate.

I'm hearing different things from different sources, which is probably good. Remember, Gene did the same thing with the football hire. He didn't just go yolo with Klieman, he did interview other people. It's very possible that candidates that are playing this weekend haven't been interviewed yet.

Believe it or not but this play by Houston used to be considered illegal and would have been blown dead the second the libero even reached over the table. Absolutely sick rally though.

It was an incredible match.  Unfortunate for SD to lose the NCAA leader in kills to injury in the 4th set after losing their starting setter 3 weeks ago.  Great year for the Yotes.
