Hey, wait, did anyone ever check out Brent's resume?

Manhattan "puts him on leave"?  http://espn.go.com/new-york/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10678756/manhattan-places-coach-steve-masiello-leave-degree-status-reviewed

I thought he resigned to take the USF offer?  So he gets the offer rescinded by USF and he's suddenly just "on leave" from Manhattan?

What type of PR would it bring to accept him back with open arms?  Seems like it would be a bad move a multiple levels.  They first have to cleanup their lack of a background check mess!

edit: I see what you meant now.  Yes, crazy they'd even consider keeping him around

We finally did on 3/21/14.  Hence the quick departure.

Apparently USF didn't respect the process.

He's ok, I just checked.  From his C.V.

The Clown State University (Ft. Worth, TX)
Brent "Buzz-O" Williams
Bachelor of Pantomime, magna cum lah-dee-dah-dee, 1996
Double-major in ventriloquism and silliness studies
Minor in juggling
Senior thesis: "Essay on the Post-Modern Interpretation of Clowning Theory of Baroque Iberia"

Actually, they have his senior thesis on display at that little museum in the basement of the Grand Avenue Mall.  Not many people know this, but while he was here they would commemorate it every year on his birthday.

I gotta tell ya, if this doesn't prove hindsight is 20/20, I don't know what does.  I mean, how did we not see it?  The juggling of multiple offers, talking out of both sides of his mouth, his "eccentric" behavior, etc.

He is a clown.  And he clowned us.
