This stemmed from Mack asking Trigg "why the fxck he had a yellow on"?

Most fans have asked that for 6 years of our athletes particularly in football. Why would Mack go beserk about it.

On a more serious note this is weird.

That right there is why the MF should be fired on the spot. You are the leader of the Athletic Department of Baylor and this is what you say and how you approach a player/student.

I am telling you, I see that MF at the Baylor game next Friday and I'm gonna lay his Fing Zss out.

It's the Prestonwood Baptist club all over again .... Jeffrey is likely a part of this .... like he was with Langworthy ... like he was with Briles.

Just sweep your dirt under the rug and pretend it was never there ... the Baptist way.

"According to multiple sources, an investigation into the incident was launched, where staff members and athletic department staffers during the altercation were questioned regarding the incident, and it was made known that there was video evidence of the alleged incident in question."

unless the story is a total farse, no way he can keep his job if it the video leaks to the public...just saying.

I think its worth watching the ASU game and find the incident.....then start the social media campaign...

I'm starting to see the story shared from more and more national college football accounts. Maybe it'll pick up enough traction to force a move.

Embarrassing look. This story is not helpful for winning over future recruit parents.

Baylor TE Michael Trigg Jr's dad confirms to @TheAthletic that AD Mack Rhoads was involved in a sideline incident with his son, leading to a university investigation.

Rhoads is CFP selection committee chairman.https://t.co/DUthmd6Uzq

Whether or not our cowards let him stay I would hope the CFP committee tells him goodbye.

Person over shirt. Mack broke the rules and he needs to GTFO. If you have NFL measurables you can wear your jock over your pants.

If that was my kid and someone like him grabbed him like that - I would have knocked his ass on the ground.

LOL, lets not blow this out of proportion. Mack is not intimidating to a dude the size of Trigg. This does show he is a dbag and an ahole though.

We need to blow this out to exactly what it is....you have 2 separate incidents more than 2 hours apart by the same individual. If we have a moral clause standard that coaches must use for recruiting of players - how is this acceptable?

Having to apologize can not be the "punishment". If I acted that way with one of my employees, not just once but TWICE in a manner of hours - - there isn't a company that would keep me. I would be dismissed that day on the spot. Why then is it okay at Baylor - which should have a higher standard for their staff/employees.

Texas is a right to work state - - Baylor needs ZERO reason to send him packing...

People on that abomination call R&P board hate media. This is a classic case of outstanding reporting of a hidden dark shadow. Shine the light.

Briles for AD

Might as well. Don't know what it is about that place, but Baylor is just a fricking circus interrupted by occasional success.

The fact that this has already hit the NYT and other outlets are picking it up means it has legs. If someone leaks a video, it will get worse. The fact that Baylor simply has said that the case is closed - with no obvious repercussions, will bring further scrutiny. This may be only the beginning of unfolding events.

Get rid of this moronic bufoon Jack wagon. Im sure there's some moral clause in his contract so he gets axed with no benefits.

And you all thought Kim Mulkey was the problem. He was pushed out at Missouri, btw.

This is a different time. A huge paycheck for son will win over future recruits' parents. I'm not sure this interferes with recruiting now that is Benjamin Franklin doing the recruiting.

It can be a difference when they are mulling over several similar offers

What if aranda is actually a good coach and Mack is the culture problem? Not saying he's Nick Saban, but there's no way this is an isolated incident.

That article certainly explains triggs erratic play. Sounds like he was way in his head.

Yawn.

Agreed. This is not normal behavior and it should not be normalized.

This is the type of stuff that gets you fired and/or sent to anger management. Mack sounds unhinged.

This is precisely why the media is important. If not brought to light, abuses go unchecked.

Accountability is very rarely the first priority of a powerful institution. Damage control is. That's why you need outside, independent sources forcing that accountability.

Stefano DiMera said:

Yawn.

You don't think this is a major story?

I went back through all 27 pages of the ASU game thread. No mention of Trigg disappearing or half-assing in that one. In fact he had 2 TDs while Cameron had the bad game with 2 fumbles and a blown route that led to an INT.

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but this behavior sounds very much like what you'd see from someone with a substance abuse problem. My strong suspicion would be alcohol abuse.

Does anyone know if Rhoades was on the sidelines against UCF?

Dave - Ban the dude from your sidelines. This is the way you might actually save your job for a year or more.

Actually, the situation is ideal to fire him "for cause".

We can only hope. But I think he's too far up Linda's butt. What clown show this has become.

---

I don't think she is running the place. It is the same old farts

---

The same old farts recently decided to become super progressive and liberal on every issue?

I doubt it

Either Linda is in full control of a new faction of regents are.

Not the same old farts

He's always given me serious a-hole vibes. I'm pretty sure he was the reason for Mulkey's departure. Maybe we'd have another natty or 2 if he wasn't so obsessed with having his boots licked by his underlings

Good. Let events unfold. Let all the events unfold. Let them unfold under the harsh glare of media spotlights in the public eye.

We've done that once for no good reason, now we have a good reason to do it.

Mack Rhoades inappropriately touches male students. Why is he still employed at BU?

Can we pray this away? Can a BOR cry to God? Or fire the women's tennis coach cuz they look like a worthy scapegoat.

Well said! This is totally unacceptable behavior and saying it's been handled isn't enough. Baylor athletes, coaches, staff, students, and fans deserve better.
