Summary
Ryan Brady, former college football coach at Saginaw Valley State, filed a lawsuit against the university, claiming he was fired for refusing to hire the athletic director’s son as an assistant coach, violating the university’s nepotism policy. Brady had a successful record, with 39-27 overall and five consecutive winning seasons. The university cited not meeting playoff expectations as the reason for his termination. Brady alleges that the athletic director, John Lewandowski, pressured him to hire his son and became angry when he refused.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Winning seasons are no longer enough. Now, it’s about playoff expectations. And if you don’t meet them, you’re out. Unless, of course, you’re willing to bend the rules and hire the boss’s son. Then, you’re golden. Nepotism: the ultimate performance enhancer.
College football: where winning isn’t everything, but who you know is.
The new standard of excellence: hiring the right people, not winning games.
When in doubt, blame the coach.
Nepotism: the secret ingredient to success.
