The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Athletic Department has filed an official complaint with the UW Board of Regents.
The Phoenix are up in arms (or wings as it were) because unlike UW-Milwaukee no other school is trying to hire their coach, affectionately known as poor man's coach k, by his two fans (both of whom are related to him.)
The GB fans are so miffed over this slight that they have threatened to put ketchup and salt all over Iowa State AD Jamie Pollards comfy leather chair. Not to be outdone, the GB Pep Band, which is well known for it's snappy retorts during games, threatened to travel to ISU and yell "Oh yeah, nanny nanny boo-boo," at anyone who would listen.
A highly placed source in the Athletic Director's office complained, "We made a mistake in allowing him to write as "much hair gel as I need" into the contract. "It's costing us an arm and leg. We need someone to exercise the buyout clause in the contract to make up for our losses," said the source.
A legal source in the department privately admitted that he suggested raising the buyout clause. "Offering schools 600K to take him off our hands simply isn't working. We need to up the ante."
"Why should UWM's coaches be mentioned on ESPN in connection with job openings. Isn't it enough that they are successful and we aren't," screamed a fan who vowed to hold his breath until "someone on ESPN says that Coach K is being looked at by another program that like GB's is hopelessly mired in ineptitude."
The program's SID concured. "We are now in day 2,345 without anyone on ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS Sportsline or even my mother connecting poor man's coach k with a job opening anywhere. What's up with that? Are we going to be stuck with this guy forever?"
When asked to comment, poor man's coach k said he felt the rumors about Rob Jeter leaving UWM would help his recruiting. "I can tell potential recruits that unlike UWM, they can be sure I won't be going anywhere because you have to successful in order to be offered a job at a high major, and that's not going to happen."
When told of the UWGB complaint a spokesman for the Board of Regents sighed and said he hoped no one from the legislature hears about the "hair gel" clause or about poor man's coach k "We're getting enough criticism over wasteful spending." he said.
