You're enjoying this waaaayyyyy too much. LOL

No, it hasn't. It is only stained in the minds of haters that likely got crushed by Burkhart in the past. It's a way to explain away losing. As for those with reasoning skills, this is unfortunate, even embarrassing but justice has been served according to UIL regulations on a SINGULAR event. I am still attempting to watch the meeting (enhancing the audio, very difficult to hear a lot of it). Regardless of what I think about the meeting, the decision has been made. There is no further appeal. There is no need to continue beating the RS dead horse, but I imagine you will try. lol.

Can't help but chuckle about all of this. My assumption is that the Burkhart suspension is effective immediately? Also, my assumption, since I cannot hear a damn thing on that video, is that Shawn Rogers is also suspended? If so, another assumption, is Etheridge is taking over as HC? I hope the players can stay focused. Big distractions.

You said it best lots of chuckling going on.

 

[TruckerTony_1987]

What they failed to understand is JB is the man at RS, any recruiting by him is by RS. I think the school deserved a year or so as well but they made the decisions now we can all move on.

“A year or so….” LOL

Yeah, yeah ... I know. Enjoy yourselves. lol

As his son, I am saddened to see such a great man and coach go down like this. It was clear in the room that they had their minds made up. They went strictly off of DEC statement. Didn’t ask the parents, didn’t ask Mullin any questions. Just my Dad. Growing up I’ve spoken on the phone to multiple coaches about things I couldn’t talk to my Dad about. Advice on life decisions. Never have I heard a coach can’t talk to a kid not from his school. This is outrageous and I have lost respect for this sixman community and UIL. I know what type of man my Dad is and everyone who knows him would happily take the stand and testify. No matter what I say, will stop this site from bashing my Dad. My Dad is a great man and a Great Coach that didn’t deserve this.

The ruling was that he could not coach for 3 years. But can he continue to serve as athletic director ?

Is this a public forum?

If there is deleted content that doesn’t violate basic community standards but just disagreed with the administrator it could be argued the same that Facebook was accused of being a publisher not a public forum. So if I was in charge of this site I would be careful what I deleted or banned. It’s either a open forum or it isn’t there is no in between.

Thanks. that is what i was waiting for.

 

[Texas Rebel]

They went with Dec because they backed it up with facts !!!!!!

I attended the meeting. Not facts. Several assumptions.

 

[Texas Rebel]

No way he returns.

Her can still serve as athletic director. It's not a coaching position.

 

[Positivemessages]

I bet he still controls that team and it’s business as usual, some of it will just have to be in the shadows and from that (14 minute phone). Nothing changes.

A forum can be moderated. I participate in many of them.

Let's hope that's not the case and the UIL actually tries to shut this type of activity down. I am sure the eyes will be all over RS going forward, so it may not even be fun to be involved as AD. Burkhardt from what I can gather, lives for football and RS. This is going to be a tough pill for him to swallow, even if he did do it to himself.
