    WVU Coach Vic Koenning on Leave After Kerry Martin Jr. Outlines Alleged Comments

    TIMOTHY RAPP   JUNE 23, 2020

    West Virginia defensive coordinator Vic Koenning has been placed on administrative leave after safety Kerry Martin Jr. tweeted about a series of offensive comments made by the coach since spring 2019, per Joe Brocato of WVMetroNews.com. 

    Martin said Koenning once called him "retarded" for using the wrong technique during a workout. He also said Koenning was talking about Donald Trump during a 2019 meeting and said the president should "build the wall and keep Hispanics out of the country" while a Hispanic person was in the meeting room.

    Additionally, Martin said he converted his religion and that Koenning would consistently to talk to him about Christianity, reading him bible verses. Martin says Koenning commented Monday on the protests against systemic racism and police brutality, claiming "If people did not want to get tear gassed, or push back by the police then they shouldn't be outside protesting."

    He also said Koenning took aim at former Pitt defensive back Derrek Pitts, who has since transferred to Marshall.

    "Coach Vic has antagonized Derrek Pitts for believing in something that he didn't believe," he wrote. "He would make remarks about the Bible and talk about religion in front of Derrek, making him want to question the things he believed."

    Athletic Director Shane Lyons released the following statement Tuesday:

    "I want to thank Kerry Martin for having the courage to bring his concerns to light. We will not tolerate any form of racism, discrimination or bias on our campus, including our athletic programs. Coach Vic Koenning has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately, and the department will work with the appropriate parties to conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations. This is serious, and we will act appropriately and in the best interests of our student-athletes."

    Koenning was entering his second season as the Mountaineers' defensive coordinator. 

    This part seems a little weird. 

    Martin alleges that last season, Koenning spoke in a position meeting "about President Trump and how he should 'build the wall and keep Hispanics out of the country,' and there's a Hispanic in the meeting." Martin also referred to a meeting Koenning had with his high school coach, Jon Carpenter, who described Koenning as having a "'Slave Master' mentality" in a later conversation with Martin.

    Carpenter denied making that claim Tuesday, telling "This Week in WV Sports" "100 percent no. I never told him that," adding that he's "heartbroken Kerry could feel that way." Martin responded to Carpenter's claim, calling it "100 percent not true" on Twitter.

  2. Had a co-worker's son who sat in jail for over a year waiting on a trail. His son was a bail bondsman who had a beef with an ATF agent. They apparently were friends at one point, but something happened in which my co-workers son sent the guy's wife an email informing her that her husband was doing some shady stuff and he needed to stop. FBI and ATF show up at co-worker's house one day and tore the house apart and took his son in charging him with a terror threat. Took about a year, but they dropped all charges and released him. Turns out the ATF agent had been taking evidence and selling it to a local pond shop. The pond shop owner knew he was buying illegal stuff and decided to turn on the agent when he found out that the agent had been sleeping with his wife. Just remember my co-worker spending a fortune on lawyers and an investigator while absolutely knowing his son was innocent.

    Put it on a trophy aggy... Athlon Preseason #11

    Athlon Magazine reveals official preseason top 25 rankings

    11. Texas A&M -- The Aggies check in third among SEC West teams in the Athlon standings. The third season in College Station for Jimbo Fisher has potential to be a breakthrough one. Quarterback Kellen Mond returns for his third season as a starter. He has 44 touchdowns to 18 interceptions with 6,004 passing yards, 975 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in his two seasons as a starter under Fisher. The Aggies are favorites in their first six games, which could set up for a decisive Oct. 17 road trip to Auburn.

    16. Texas — The Longhorns will have a new look with Tom Herman’s coaching changes, including the additions of Chris Ash and Mike Yurcich as defensive and offensive coordinators respectively. Yurcich, who worked at Ohio State last season, gets to work with one of the nation’s top quarterbacks in Sam Ehlinger. The senior threw for 3,663 yards, 32 touchdowns and 10 picks last season.

    Mond has been a starter for 3 years. He started the 3rd game of 2017 and he's been the starter ever since. So 3 years and 44 touchdowns is what ESPN and aggy are selling as a 1st round QB?

    Saw a post on LinkedIn today. Proud graduate of the 9th ranked ExecutiveMBA Texum bulldog class of ‘20.  USNWR has them ranked at 44, UT at 12, and a host of bad ass schools between 1-25 or so.  I know a lot of bullshit goes into those deriving those rankings, but 9th?  In what, making up shit?   Yes aggy middle manager, you just graduated from the 9th best program in the country.  I really need to think of something I can sell them. 

    UT Dallas has a better business school than aggy.

    Gotta be that 3-star future All-Pro they just landed.

    Have they ever signed an actual three star? I know most of the ones they sign are really high 4 or 5 stars that the pro-sip recruiting sites criminally rank to low. Got me wondering if they've ever had to actually settle on a true 3 star signee. I can't name any off the top of my head. 

  6. This scene cracked me up also, cause Jordan claimed he tried and tried to toughen Scott Burrell up, but that he was to nice of a guy.

     “You stay away from Scott Burrell,” Jordan tells NBC’s Ahmad Rashad as Rashad reflects on the pressure of playing in a Game 7. “You're not instructed to talk to Scott Burrell. You'll scare the shit out of him."

  7. I bust out laughing when Bird and the Pacers thought they were going to beat Jordan and the Bulls in game 7, and Bird came over after the game to give MJ props. They both were laughing and Jordan says "You bitch, fuck you," and they start laughing. The greats were all good friends away from the game, but wanted to destroy each other on the court. That's what is missing from todays game.

    Lebron scores a lot of his points(easy buckets at the rim) by using his huge body size and strength to drive through defenders, and often they yield and just get the fuck out of his way. Jordan didn't have that luxury. When it comes to pure scoring skill and the ability create his own shot and elude defenders, Jordan has no equal.  And that was in an era where a defender could hand check and mug the shit out of him. Jordan would have averaged 5+ more points in today's game. 

    I watched a Lakers-Clippers game this year and Lebron would just run through defenders to get to the rim. Literally head down, pick up the dribble, and just run through defenders like a running back. Half the time he was getting bailed out by the ref. His play this year has been extremely hard to watch.

    Well, Bama and LSU wouldn’t have their trophies if aggy hadn’t bent over for them each year.....so, aggy does need a copy trophy to hang in their dungeon.

    I’ll have you know that aggy played a tough hard nosed SEC type man’s football game against LSU last year, not that soft as charmin game that Texas played against LSU. Clearly Texas wasn’t SEC ready and aggy was.

  10. Damn. I just realized that 2% of Texags employees are minority, and he's an intern at that. 50 employees, and you can only hire one non-white person? It truly is an aggy run business.  Also, who is this?
