| University of Montna football stadium |
Well, it certainly wasn't a good day to be a top administrator in the University of Montana's athletic department.
School president Royce Engstrom announced Thursday morning that Athletic Director Jim O'Day and head football coach Robin Pflugrad were fired. Engstrom didn't give a reason for the firings, but the school and the athletic department in particular have been under heavy scrutiny after a string of sexual assualt allegations over the past few years and major heat for the way they've been handled.
Oh...the team is in the midst of spring practice too.
The whole story from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle RIGHT HERE
While the school didn't specify why O'Day and Pflugrad were fired, you can bet they found something wrong when investigating the goings on with the team. No, since we don't follow Montana football closely, we don't have specifics. But we've been in and around business long enough to know that when heads start rolling like this, with this kind of timing, somebody is in a whole heap of trouble.
The only question: How bad will it be?
Here's Pflugrad after his dismissal...
