Who will ever thank you for teaching them how to be a good husband, father, citizen? You need to look in the mirror and judge yourself before ever casting doubt on a man who has dedicated his entire life to being a leader, role model, and father figure to the young men of the Windber community. It is a shame that nobody from the Windber community has come to support or defend this man's honor. The world needs more people like Matt Grohal.

+1 for Matt Grohal. Know the family, been an acquaintance for 30+ years. I say he knew nothing of this whole affair. Ask Ken Salem what it's like to be a scapegoat.

I’m sure there are people who want to, but it’s hard when everybody has been left in the dark as to what happened and why he’s been suspended for 2 weeks. If he truly didnt know, then why the absence? Could you imagine people going to bat for him and then finding out he did know about it? So until we know all the details, it’s probably best that we just wait to see how it unfolds and not say anything

2 week suspension is not a big deal when others are trying to get all the facts as to the case. Pretty much standard. Police are frequently suspended while a case is being investigated. Or placed on "administrative leave" or desk duty.

So they determined the Head Coach was not a participant. Does he now go head hunting after all the slander?

probably grab Mcgregor as Offensive coordinator, since he went there.


just joking, but thought since that is the #1 reason Matt Rhule is getting so much media, would throw it out
