⚾ 🥎 Auburn Head Coach Clint Meyer has resigned at Auburn

[TerryP]

I’m an Athletics Director and I’m a father. I handled the coaches the way an AD should handle them and I handled the students the way I think a father would want it handled.

Such bullshit.

Corey was caught months ago, spent a couple of days "away," and back coaching in a breath.

Yeah, a father wants a coach who was caught screwing another played back on the team as the coach. Right!

The Associate AD demanding evidence be deleted...not good.

I can't speak for the veracity of this post. It's off of one of the premium Auburn sites from what I understand.

A coach committed a felony and that is your response?

Go ask JJ why he forced players to delete wiener pics from Corey.

Or ask him how much they offered to pay the kidnapped player.

Or ask him what they are hiding about the soccer team.

Auburn did hire a new softball coach this week.

Auburn has hired James Madison's Mickey Dean to be its next softball coach.

Dean went 237-56 in his five years at JMU, including 2-1 against Auburn, and has coached seven NCAA Tournament teams with one NCAA Super Regional appearance and won nine conference titles in his career.

"Coach Dean's accomplishments at JMU are remarkable," Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said in a statement. "He's won consistently at every level throughout his career. He's done it the right way, winning with class and integrity while graduating his student-athletes at a high level. Auburn already has a winning program and we're going to get even better. He's a great fit for Auburn."

Dean replaces Clint Myers, who the school announced "retired" on Aug. 23 but Jacobs later said was guilty of "wrongdoing" amid allegations of abuse and harassment under his watch by his son and former associate head coach Corey Myers, who "resigned" in March.

Dean coached five 40-win seasons, including the final two with 52 and 50 victories, and broke 104 program records at JMU, including over 40 pitching records while boasting one of the nation's top pitching staffs. He's coached seven all-Americans, including 2017 National Player of the Year, Megan Good, and been named conference coach of the year eight times during his career.

"It is an honor to be named the leader of the Auburn softball program," Dean said in a statement. "I want to thank President Leath, Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs and the Board of Trustees for the exciting opportunity to lead this program.

"The future is bright for Auburn softball. We want the fans to be as excited as we are to come out and watch the program represent them in the highest standing."

Prior to his time at JMU, Dean coached Radford for five seasons and served as an assistant coach at Akron (2001-02), Indiana (2002-04) and Longwood (2005-06). He was also the pitching coach for the Venezuelan National Team (2002-08) and the head coach for the Chicago Bandits (2004-10) that finished as the National Pro Fastpitch regular season champions five times and won the title in 2008.

Dean is a 1987 graduate of Elon University, where he was a pitcher on the baseball team.

I am familiar with Dean--from a distance. How does success at JM translate? We'll see.

I did run across this article while reading about Dean today.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY SOFTBALL: New coach wants to make 'life miserable' for Alabama

Notice the title of the article? "New coach wants to make 'life miserable' for Alabama."

In the end, all he did was make life miserable for a lot of young ladies (in more ways than one by all accounts.)
