SIU "moves on" from women's soccer coach. Will need 3rd hire in 5 years. It's behind the paywall.

@obd

Since the addition of this sport, it certainly seems like the program has struggled with coaches, and with meaningful wins. One must ponder if the venture was worth the investment.

@tj-mcflys Remember it was added because of title9.  So it would have to be replaced with another women’s sport.  What do you suggest?

I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

SIU finally gets a good soccer coach and Redturd State's coach gets him fired because he told her to shut up.

Political correctness gone hog wild. What bullshit! I may not give a penny to the athletic department next year!!!!!

They should just drop soccer and bring back men's and women's tennis.

Better yet, start a Lacrosse team - much more fun to watch than soccer.

Did I miss it or did that article strangely not give the reason he was placed on administrative leave?

There's more to it than just the Illinois State issue. All other accusations were proven to be false though, and they are still not retaining him. AD Leonard should definitely be questioned about this more if anyone gets the chance.

Get rid of soccer. I'm still pissed they dropped gymnastics! How about D1 pickleball? A bunch of the courts by the stadium are now pickleball...and very popular!
