There is the personal part but there is also the career part. This is what he spent his life working toward and he reached the top of his profession, so to speak. Now his coaching career is most likely (at least should be) over. Once all the dust settles, what is his first job interview going to be like? What is he going to do the rest of his life?
Anne Arbor apparently isn't the only ***** in Ann Arbor.Ann Arbor has a culture problem
Anne Arbor has a coutoure problem.
That’s basically the status of things now but it’s a bad progression of the law. A 31 year old woman knows what she doing. Can always say no and if targeted, that’s what the law was meant to address. Not someone that goes along with it then regrets it. She should not be rewarded.Her extremely high profile supervisor used his influence over her to sleep with her. She is a victim and will be suing the sh*t out of the university. I can assure you she will be pointing out all of the institutional failures that led to this result, including the substantial, abnormal pay raise she received. She has been Lewinskied and her life is (at least temporarily) ruined. It is a sad situation for all involved and it should be left at that.
That being said, how can PSU take advantage?
We don’t even know that she didn’t initiate it. Frankly, that’s more likely that a single thirty something girl latched on to a (then) very successful man. Then regretted it.

You blaming the woman for a married man cheating is a gender based prejudice. She had no obligation to anyone here.
He’s gonna be a UPS driver at best. Nothing wrong with that but compared to a D1 football coach at one of the winningest programs ever it’s not a great look.
Thanks! Great article and spot on. The Michigan Athletic Department is rotten to the core, and not just with this latest incident.....this goes way back!
Though she knows what she’s doing he may have made her employment contingent upon her being in a relationship with him. These situations are not just about an affair. They are a power play by male managers over a direct subordinate. It’s often control. The employment piece is huge here. It’s a power dynamic. It’s the reason organizations have rules about relationships with subordinates. It’s a liability for them as it can result in sexual harassment.
While I agree....she could have said NO. Sometimes in life you have to stand by what's right and your core values even if that means losing your job. She didn't seem to mind the gigantic and unwarranted raise she received.
We don’t know how much of a victim she is yet. His controlling nature going to her house is not a good indicator her. The manager subordinate relationship here is a huge HR problem for UM. If he made her salary and employment dependent on her staying a relationship with him that is sexual harrassment and really bad. It’s a significant power play by a manager over a subordinate. Organizations get sued for a lot of money for this. When a female sues she also knows even if she wins her career is damaged forever. She’s barely employable after this. Thats the terrible double standard that exists. This is serious stuff for Michigan.
Pretty easy to say that from the outside. He could have threatened her job if she didn’t comply to the relationship. Having a relationship with a subordinate inherently creates an employment power play.
I agree with you here but to be fair the poster you replied to wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you. Just stated they believe someone should put their moral beliefs over everything else. Which is fair as its only their opinion on how they believe they'd have handled it. Truthfully no one knows what they'd do until in that situation.
This is as much about moral decisions as it is about HR Employment rules. People make bad moral decisions all the time but when you do it in the workplace there are big ramifications different from just cheating on your wife in general.
How do you know that? You have no idea what she could and could not do. I am not defending her, but maybe stop making accusations until you know what really happened (which I assume is never).
Trust me, I get the legal side of it and agree with you
don't forget this one too...

With such a ridiculously large "conference", with so much flotsam and mediocrity within it, somebody (or several somebodies) are going to get pussycat schedules each year.
Looks more like the job was hush money to keep her quiet. Her salary doubled within the last year. Hmmm….
I think Michigan could potentially be in a lot of trouble over this and hope they get what they deserve. Absolute trash, cheating and unethical program under Manuel’s leadership.
He was scummy--she was single and can date anyone she wants
Anybody that knowingly sleeps with a married person is a scumbag. Unless that marriage happens to be an open relationship, I suppose. It’s his marriage and he chose to ruin it of course. But she also made a choice that would ruin a family.
Let me be blunt, would you marry her? I sure wouldn’t. Tons of moral issues and red flags.
He could have told her he had an open marriage--he could have told her anything but she has no obligation to have any respect for their marriage
I couldn't care less about what she did--she was single.
Culture that they have been displaying for all to see at least ever since the Sleep Over. Now BO and his butt buddies were on a different level at least Moore likes woman.
Your entire argument hinges on “if”. If she came onto him to get her job or tried to screw her way to the top - she should be a pariah as much as him. Neither of us has any clue though- so let’s stop making up assumption based narratives.
I think you’re missing the point because you are making things up like you go on weekend trips with these two and understand the relationship dynamics. If it comes out that he initiated this or was coercive - then I’ll agree with everything you said. You don’t know, so stop saying he lorded his power over her
They will have a rebuild but ours is worse. We basically have nonsense line at all. Strong rumor the whole group will opt out of the bowl game. That will provide a bit of an indication.
