Apparently he did not graduate from UK and falsified information on his resume.

Surprised this happens still after the George O'Leary fiasco a decade ago.

That was UCF not USF

Actually technically that was notre dame he lied to. UCF then hired him.
You can't dodge a bullet if you weren't within the range of the gun being fired to begin with.
His coaching career isn't over. The problem is never hiring a known liar. It's discovering someone is a liar. See: O'Leary, George; Pearl, Bruce; Petrino, Bobby; etc.

I would consider him within the range of CONSIDERATION not HIRING
Seems strange to me that he would lie about that. Does a college degree matter that much when you've already proven yourself as a head coach on the D1 level?

If you lie about that, what else are you going lie about?

I hate to be prejudice, but when I heard this guy in an interview before the Louisville game ..... he just gave off the aura of having a thick coat of slime about him. I guess my instincts were correct. Personally, I was on the bandwagon for him to come to MU. Funny thing is..... he probably just cost himself a few million with that "error" on his resume.

Uh, not sure he actually lied about that one...

Agree. I think Brent wore out his welcome and MU was happy to see him walk.

I totally understand not wanting to hire a liar. I don't understand why he would lie in the first place. Maybe he falsified his resume long ago and it has followed him since... a tangled web.
The Rutgers coach lied about having been graduated from Rutgers! Last I looked he's still their coach.
USF just fired him without ever having him work there.

And he wasn't even a lesbian. Go figure.
Exactly my point of not being a prisoner of the moment...
