How often did Beamer get pressed on retaining underperforming assts? How

often has Whit been pressed on any number of things, but, to name a few.... -hiring a first time head FB coach with first time coordinators -borderline sabotage of last year's MBB season -the deal with the girls' soccer coach and the player, for which the school paid a settlement -any kind of follow-up whatsoever on the 2023 ESPN expose about how the AD, particularly Ballein, kneecapped Fuente That's four off the top of my head. Press doing their jobs and aggressively demanding explanations would have allowed the more passive members of the community to know what was going on, and we would have been done with Whit and the whole Ballein family years ago. Instead, programs stagnated and millions more went to the Babcock and Ballein families. Yes, I know the excuse is always that bulldog media get blacklisted. Well, you either get to claim that you're doing something worthwhile or you don't 🤷🏻‍♂️
