Poor performance = yes
But if he did nothing, like many of you suggest, then he had options to prove his innocence. He chose not to. Not sure why you guys are full of hate about this. He is the one that took the money and ran.
Yes, mine was to refuse the buyout, force WVU to fire him, then get a lawyer. That isn't a "theory". That's an opinion. If I'm innocent, being accused of something that I didn't do, then I'm fighting for my name.

He was going to get fired as soon as a black player spoke up against him trying to rally the Twitter Mob. Had WVU fired VK, you must have seen a long, nasty court battle dragged out into the season, and WVU didn’t want that for obvious reasons. Hence why they were so eager to come to a separation agreement.
Also, you have Neal Brown saying he never spoke to Martin while Martin said they talked multiple times about it. We will see who the liar in that exchange is a well, which could ruin Brown’s integrity or put a stamp on Martin’s career here as a player.
VK did the smart legal option. He took a settlement all the while WVU cannot place guilt upon him. Any lawyer would say to accept that deal. Hell, OK St was close to firing their head coach over a news network tshirt, and if it was a coordinator, they would have been fired.
That's because you're apparently a school teacher, likely protected by a union and/or civil service laws. Koenning, a non-union employee protected only by the terms of his contract, did exactly what he should have done: Get as much money as possible, leave Morgantown, let the storm pass, then get another coaching gig with a different school. If he would have forced his discharge and sued, then no other school would have touched him, especially after WVU had smeared him during litigation, which is what WVU would be smart to do in defense of Koenning's lawsuit.So then, if this were you at your workplace and a person accused you of something, you would take the money (1-year salary) and basically admitting you were wrong? I think I would tell them to "fire me" since they had all the evidence, force their hand, then have my lawyer turn it all on them, and see what happens.

He's either a teacher or a close relative of one. He's on a one-man crusade on the Off-Topic Discussion Board to defend teachers and their unions with every fiber of his being. Moreover, he exhibits the union mentality when he posts about employer/employee relations, and doesn't have a basic understanding as to how free enterprise works, especially where the "coaching fraternity" is involved.I really doubt this dope is a teacher....
IF he was in the right, and got fired, getting a lawyer and filing a wrongful termination lawsuit would have been the way to go.
If you are innocent of something, your name is being smeared, your life will not be the same, you would prefer not to fight to restore it and get what's fully owed to you? I know what I'd do........fight it.

You've defended the teachers unions with every illogical thought in your tiny head, MountaineerWV. You also were flat our wrong in repetitively posting that kids were returning to classrooms, as if your favorite unions weren't throwing tantrums to the point of forcing students to stay at home either entirely or for three days/week. Own it.
Now, you're just lying because you've been backed into a corner with your own stupid words. I posted about California and the D.C. suburbs in Virginia, which have closed the classrooms, and not just in "large urban areas." The entire State of California is not in a "large urban area," dipsh!t. Suburbs, by definition, are not "large urban areas." Your zeal for defending teachers unions has blinded you from reality. Have a sh!tty day, imbecile.1. Look at my posts, it's easy with the "search" option. I defend them on the basis of legal protection.
2. Kids are returning to the classroom. Have you seen Indiana? Yep. Kids. On buses. In classrooms. My kids are to report in 3 weeks. Yep. In classroom.
3. You claimed schools were not "open", and I said they were. You fail to understand that only the large urban areas are doing the 100% virtual learning.
4. Most districts did a survey of parents. THEY chose their schooling option for their child, not the districts.
EDIT: Have a great day.

You're delusional. I haven't posted about private schools at all. You're so rattled that you're confusing me with another poster. I know nothing about private schools, as, like you, I attended public schools. Teacher unions are unnecessary in West Virginia because we have civil service laws that provide an extra layer of legal protection for state employees. They are fighting tooth and nail not to return to the classroom, and you are defending them because you are one of them, close to one of them, or a brain-dead imbecile...take your pick.1. You also said private schools were opening. Baron's?
2. Those areas/states are HIGH POPULATED states/areas.
3. Schools are opening up, with students in classrooms. Look it up. It's happening.
4. Noticed you never showed that you were right on my stance on unions and my support for them (legal protection). Wonder why?
Have a great day!
I’m pretty sure VK spouted off some Christianity stuff and probably used the word “retarded“ when addressing his players. There was likely not nearly enough to legally fire him, but WVU also did a very reactionary move (yay 2020!) where they set themselves up for almost having to let him go.
VK deep down knew he needed to leave. Personally, I would have pushed for more money in light of slanderous comments made on him that would affect his ability to get another DC job at a bigger school...but that’s just me.

Not true...
Our district sent 2 surveys...
First survey asked parents feelings on returning back to school. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of returning back to school like normal.
2nd survey was back to school options. Normal, 5 day per week back to school was not even provided as an option - which is what the majority of parents want.
It was a sham.
So your district didn't, so that erases "most"? Man, must be a big district.
