Dan Collins sucks. The blog post was just a whining, misguided rant because he wasn't given the scoop about why Dino was fired.
Reported!

The original DC blog post mentioned "edited out." Is this the one you read?
I felt the DC blog post was more about how the circumstances of his firing led to all sorts of wild, unfair, cruel speculation.
Dan - Thanks for defending Coach Gaudio.

Thank you for having the courage to “go there” Dan. Let’s hope your article puts that garbage rumor to rest once and for all!

These are two comments from the original DC post (the one that was pulled). I think they make clear Dan Collins did not take the rumor he came across seriously:
Those appear to be reader comments, with no affirmation from Dan.
I have no idea if this one's true or not, but I don't think it can be brushed under the table so easily.

I really believe it when I say that I could have gotten at least 50 of the 61 wins that Dino got if you just inserted me in as the coach.
Dino was a great recruiter, but an awful motivator/coach
Yea, I also believe that.
And considering what LD told me after the Cleveland State loss, it truly seemed like Dino just "rolled the ball out" on the offensive end.

Likewise, I believe doofus could've led us to at least 7 victories this year #doofusIN

I don't know why Dino was fired; I would like to know, but I don't necessarily HAVE to know all the details. *edited out*
From people in the profession I've talked to, I don't think he was extremely highly regarded (as opposed to Jeff Battle - no one I've ever spoken to hasn't just fallen over themselves praising Battle).
I think the department's biggest mistake was stating a reason for firing Dino that, while it may have been true, they did not solve with their hire. Now it's constant back-tracking and defending. That said, I'm fully on board with giving Bz a chance to implement his system and giving him time to win his way. Hopefully it works.
