Former Auburn player and assistant coach has been placed in charge of the baseball operations and fall practice until a new Head Coach has been named. .....and another, more up to date, story: http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2015/09/auburn_fires_baseball_coach_su.html ......and another story with some insight from Aaron Fitt and Kendall Rogers: http://www.d1baseball.com/news/auburn-fires-head-coach-sunny-golloway/ Edited September 27, 2015 by Bogus Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Classic Sunny quote: "I did nothing wrong".Has this guy ever ONCE in his coaching career taken personal responsibility for ANYTHING? (which in this case, at least officially, apparently stems from assorted NCAA violations, including too many fall practice hours)All the postseason failures at ORU, abandoning ORU for an assistant's job at OU after years of applying for other head coaching gigs, the fiasco involving his wife in the stands when OU came into Johnson Stadium and got handled by the Golden Eagles, back-stabbing incoming OU coach Gene Stephenson of Wichita State and forcing AD Joe Castiglione's hand to get the head coaching job, the never-ending player issues at Oklahoma, the shameful dismissal of Sooner legend Ray Hayward, the outpouring of criticism from Sooner players and faithful when he left OU for Auburn, locking Alabama out of the batting cages last year during SEC play, the blow-ups on the field and in the media throughout the SEC regular and post-season, the list goes on and on.I'm not surprised Sunny would get himself fired: his personality (or, more succinctly, his lack thereof) affords little room for error on his part.I'm just surprised something like this hasn't happened before.

Old Titan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I still laugh at this article from when Sunny left OU - the man definitely leaves a legacy!Joe Simpson "thrilled" That Sunny Golloway Left OU (Daily Oklahoman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Bruce Pearl and Sunny Golloway both hired by Auburn.....I think that says it all about this University...... Yeah, but why bring Pearl into it of you're Sunny? What does that gain you? Unless, of course, your attorney John Saxon, who issued the statement/rant/threats is a (wait for it.....) ALABAMA ALUMNUS! "Roll Tide" vs. "War Eagle", "Sunny The Victim" vs. "The Pretextual Conspirators" - this is freaking AWESOME!

ManiacAlum Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Yeah, Sunny probably should have asked to leave out the jab about Bruce Pearl.Surely he recognizes that publicly questioning the decision-making abilities of the person who hired him does not reflect positively on his own hire. Right??If not, that's a hilarious self-inflicted zing.There was also a line in one of those articles in which he told his players "to honor us by doing a good job".I'm not sure that I've ever heard someone speak of themselves in such reverence.

Old Titan Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 No, does not strike me as someone who is trying to impress future employers.He's basically pushed "all in on the river" with this legal cr@p, and it doesn't look like he's holding much of a hand.

ManiacAlum Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Also, the whole "lifetime contract" has to be some kind of strategy to force Auburn into avoiding a prolonged public legal battle and compensate Sunny, or at least save Sunny from having to pay Auburn for being fired with cause in the middle of his contract. There's no way that language is in there. Edited September 28, 2015 by ManiacAlum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but maybe he is available to be the speaker at this year's Diamond Dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
