GVSU Offensive Coordinator???

I suppose we will never know who in the athletic department put the pressure on to remove the Hitler portion of the interview.

I can't imagine what his twitter mentions have looked like for the last week...

How does anyone think that MM could have any idea of what this guy would say in an interview like that. You are reaching here...even the University said in their background checks there were not signs of any issues. The guy made a serious mistake in judgement and he is gone. I would say good for MM for not trying to save the guy that would be an issue going forward. Wish Berger the best with his career but you cant fault MM for this one...

Two of his three choices are responsible for, or participated in, genocide. Out of all the people in history to choose...Hitler and Columbus? "Come on man!"

He's resigned.

does anyone think this effects MM? Has to look poorly on him for hiring the dude.. just waiting until signing day?

So the OC hasn't been in place for even a month and already this has GVSU in the national news? I agree with DawgUp, time to cut ties and move on with another search...

He's barely been in place for A WEEK, let alone a month

This has put the university in the national spotlight in an extremely bad way (Yahoo, MSNBC, FOX News, CNN). What's worse is keeping this charade up that he's "suspended" while they investigate. There's nothing to investigate, the words are in print (which they tried to cover up, not a good look either). GV needs to cut their losses if they haven't already, move on and put this behind them as fast as possible.

For the second time in a few months, no less. The whole student senate situation with the voting to remove the pledge of allegiance from meetings followed two weeks later by the school forcing them to reverse their vote. Both items in that saga made national news. They have two roads they can go down...Address the elephant in the room and recognize they've screwed up and will learn from it or they can brush it under the rug and pretend it never happened. Something tells me it will be the latter.

Frankly, I am more disturbed with the athletic department's efforts to censor the student newspaper's story. Whoever directed that to occur should also be suspended and investigated.

This type of thing happens all the time. I didn't have any info but suspected that's what happened.

So because a history major expresses an interest to sit down with bad guy for dinner to probe him, the individual deserves to lose his livelihood for who knows how long? Even though he stated that the bad guy is a bad guy? Sure, words unfortunately have consequences these days, but said consequence should be commensurate with them. Maybe a learning/training experience for all would be of more value. More risky for sure, but more than likely, much more productive for all.

Unfortunately? Yikes.

Where I come from you would just get canned for saying stuff like that. I wouldn't have any sympathy for him if that is his fate. In fact, I'm not sure how a public university is going to be able to retain him. "Too PC" - Wow!
