Wow that’s typically a story that gets dropped on a Friday afternoon
$591k over 19 months? That’s a decent old gold and blue parachute to where he can find another job.

Vic Koenning was the best DC we were gonna get. The dude has coached every D he has had into being a solid high ranking D. This is total crap, and it makes me not want to care that much about WVU football. This cancel culture crap is old and tired. I'm taking my stance, and that is to walk away from it, for the first time in my 45 years. Done with this.
The DL coach is vastly underrated.
Don't know if Brown wants to promote him but it might help keeping him at WV.
Then hire a LB coach? Believe Koenning was the LB coach/DC

Should check Rootmaster and his 50 accounts.
He is making the claim that WVU should represent bigotry.
No reason for that...
Your mind is so twisted by politics you see this as something political as well.
It isn't.
If you and Vic Koenning are sitting around having beers he can tell you how much he Hates everyone not like him.
But not while he is the coach at WVU on official duty.
That simple.
I believe you're the one that just not opened this thread to politics. At least I have a mind to be twisted. Unlike some mindless trolls around here like you Voorhees. Now leave while others talk sports not BS.
Your buddy Rootmaster's alter...
On both threads.
When you are making fries at your job at Burger King you aren't telling everyone there about all your beliefs.
So a coach at WVU shouldn't be doing it as well.
Just how things are.
The guy messed up.
Not going to hurt WVU. Definitely not going to force everyone to decommit.
So I'm rootmaster. I thought you said I was Greg. Come on Voorhees you can do better than that.
Now get back on subject of
West Virginia football and DC Koenning agree to mutually separate
Possibly true. But I believe the main accusation was him forcing his religion on players. According to Martin.
Exactly. They are just bowing to cancel culture and kissing its feet. Its really sad to see. This whole thing is ridiculous.
Matters the state law in WV.
All coaches who are replaced before their contract ends get a buyout
Almost impossible to get rid of them without having to pay. Ends up in a long court ordeal.
What Rootmaster aka Greg aka Allen don't understand is that America has changed over the last 50 years and will continue to do so. They don't realize that Neil Brown has to sell a program and is trying to Elevate the wvu program so it can compete for Big 12 titles. To do so he has to attract a high quality of athlete. Most of these guys are minorities that don't adhere to the viewpoints of Crackers like Root Canal. Maybe if America was still like it was in Root Canal's hayday when the Glen Miller Orchestra was playing in the mood this sort of thing would have been overlooked. Its time for Root Canal and his band of trolls to be placed in a museum where they belong.
The single word to describe the disjointed meanderings of the anti white...neo racist...America hating...cellar dweller...single digit IQ JV/TVZ is: gibberish. Always good for a laugh though.
Without explicit accounts on exactly what happened it's hard to think this is anything other than caving to the woke scold mob. Likely Vic's worse trespass was off color, poor taste, or insensitive words compared to typical lockeroom exchanges that only really warranted a warning and chance to correct the behavior. However to avoid the woke scold mob that wants to throw racism accusations against anything and everything, they think they'll earn a reprieve by letting him go. I could be wrong, but without some official declaration of what the administration found, not accounts from either Vic or Martin, this is the default scenario. And it tells you the situation today. If a decision will likely split people in half, rather than choose based upon principles the decision is made based upon which side you think will take it easier if they don't get their way.
$31,000 every month for the next 19 months.
Shane is a total idiot.
$31,000 every month for 19 months. Because a guy was politically incorrect at work, in a work environment where EVERYONE is politically incorrect ( language, girl/sex references, ect).
DH took him to school in negotiations, next man up.
Oh..Shane is soo woke
So woke he is gonna pile-drive WVU into the toilet, just so he can tell his Board how well he handled a very minor workplace HR incident....$31,000 a month.
Shame Lyons strikes again.
This guy really needs to go.
So Martin makes up a couple of false allegations as well, and he’s not punished or a scholarship revoked? Spineless university and a spineless athletic department.
Its great to see WVU taking immediate decisive action. While some bigots and racists scream bloody murder, the time for a prejudiced political partisan to think he can bring that backwards thinking openly into a workplace and spout it from a position of power-- one that everyone in the state is paying for via taxes, fans of all walks are paying for via donations, merchandise, seat buys, etc, and people from many ethnicities are playing for, giving their minds and bodies for all of us to have something to cheer for? That time is over.
Considering how poorly coached WVU was under his " defense" - giving up points left and right in huge chunks, surely WVU can find a more sound minded individual to handle those duties going forward.

Russian Root Canal is that the best you can do? Can you please return the white sheets you stole from my house.
Lol...you are so lightweight. Can't stand making my point can you? Oh...such an anti white...neo racist...pajama wearing antifa and black lies matter...no muscle...crowd surfer aren't you ? Too funny.
WVU caved to cancel culture. The best response?
Let Vic walk. Suspend Martin for The first 8 games next season for violating team policy.
if he doesn’t get any repercussions for how he went to the media before going to the HC, then we might as well go NAIA and be done with it. The players will run the team.

Martin also lied about multiple things, yet the administration will do nothing to punish him. Spineless.
If you seriously think politics are not the issue, you are mentally ill. Do you know how many WVU Professors bring & teach Liberal ideology in the class rooms?? THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM..
WVU better start firing every one that brings & teaches Liberal ideology, cause It has no place there"...RIGHT?!?!
Its been going on for a long while at WVU, its even been in the news a few times, regarding Conservative kids feeling like they are not getting fair treatment & grades due to the papers & perspectives they choose to write.
If Vic brought Liberal & Atheist into the meetings, it would have been tolerated within University Staff..
There are a few WVU professors who push very hard to indoctrinate students there, so this absolutely PROVES a double standard..
Do you think a coach trying to get maximum effort from his player would intentionally do something to cause a lack of unit cohesion, a reduction of positive attitude, to cause a split within the locker room??
When Vic & Brown was hired ALL THEY SPOKE ABOUT WAS BUILDING MEN, BEING FAMILY ON & OFF THE FIELD. Well building and teaching men requires more then football, being family means having personal, tough, & critical conversation.
If KM truly wanted positive outcomes, he would have called a unit meeting, a team meeting, he would have spoke with Brown, 1000 better ways to ignite positive outcomes! IF you truly care about the team, the environment, you source solutions that make it stronger, not divisive easy ***** moves.. Afterall, its easy to type and press send.. Its much harder to have a face to face conversation with the person you disagree with or your HC...
Frankly, KM lying about talking to Brown, KM's own HS coach denied allegations he said Vic had a Slave owner mentality... Not only that, but upset because Vic said "RETARD"... Really?!? 90% of all adults have used that term at some point, is it politically correct. NO its not, but the world is a tough place and snowflakes better get use to the heat or life is going to be extremely difficult.
This screams "Brand Building", taking out of Colin Kap playbook... It sickens me WVU didnt use this and turn it into a positive. That someones life is ruined or career, because a kid with skin as thin as my seaweed wrap has twitchy fingers...
Those of us are are politically neutral even see this for what it is... Yet another reason why the world is becoming a dangerous place for those who do not tow the Democratic line.. We need to send a message to WVU, this is NOT acceptable.. No More apparel, no more season tickets, NO MORE DONATIONS, NOT FROM ME...
The so called AD and coachs on this board would have done the same thing Lyons and Brown did. They know who the best players are and what they think. Just look at the NFL. Its the reason Gundy did a 180.
If Vic would have kept his mouth shut none of this would have happened.
