The strange thing is that it is not exactly off season. Players have arrived, teams have held meetings, classes about to start. If this had been planned I would have expected it to happen months ago. So was the writing on the wall and it was retire or be fired? With the players that have already left and the Meyers clan out the door, Auburn softball is a mess.

You're absolutely right, of course. Timing is really bad...not as bad as, say, January, but still really bad.

I read that the Board of Trustees had not approved the new contract. Seems like they had some questions about the multiple issues the team faced last year. This is all about 4 words - lack of institutional control. When you have the problems they had last year, the NCAA is bound to notice.

From what Ive heard, he left ASU because they wouldnt allow him to bring his sons onto the coaching staff. Guess the powers that be at ASU had a little more foresight than Auburn.

The team members are free to transfer, but yes, classes started this week. (If what I read is correct.) And if memory serves me, if they play the fall season, that is a year of eligibility. I guess they could transfer in January. But, that would not be optimum.
So, here are the girls - barely 18, away from home and coach bales on them. I don't blame him for retiring, but do it 60 days ago. I hope he has a good pension, because it may be a few slim years until he gets Social Security.

Auburn carries a roster a LOT larger than most.
That's a lot of kids left high-and-dry.

Meyers was a very good coach.
But last season's drama is pretty tough to overcome.

Such a Big Time program in the SEC.
I wonder who is on the short-list to replace him?
And I wonder if the eventual replacement leaves their own team high-and-dry, unscrupulously, at the this late juncture,
to jump on an SEC team from a "lesser conference"?

Could produce a cascading-effect of coaching position changes this Fall!
