The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Craig Turnbull punches back

Fired Friday, Craig Turnbull, the now former longtime wrestling coach at West Virginia, offered his side of the story. It’s one that hints at age discrimination and tells of a tactless ouster, but one that others might tell you is much like many other firings, even ones for like reasons. Whether we like it or not, whether Turnbull likes it or not, sometimes a coach just isn’t getting it done and he is asked to justify his existence when presented with doubts that it should continue.

Whatever the truth, whatever the outcome, Turnbull’s two cents about a lengthy conclusion are on the table now.
