Sad news. The JT I knew was a good guy.
Just saw him this past Feb when his Clemson team played in the Sugar Bowl Classic at ET.

That was my immediate question. Was it real harassment or Special Snowflake Harrassment?

Sounds like the Parent who got the Tulane trainer fired because their Kid did not show up on time for a training session..and if I remember of all sports they were on the Bowling team

JT was a great guy and coach at Tulane. He was very close friends with the LSU lady coach while here. His career has now been screwed. Sad for him and his family. His players here at Tulane loved him.

Based on the meetings I had with JT, i agree with your post.... JT may have to hire a law firm and file a civil suit against Clemson for wrongful termination so that all facts can be discovered.
