Just saw this. Wonder why Sac's coach is leaving so late in the year?
Best of luck to Sears.

this thread should draw some interesting comments. i know Sperbeck was not exactly highly regarded at Sac State.

My God, how does this guy keep getting gigs? He really hasn't been successful anywhere he's been. His best defenses were at Eastern, but they were never great.

Wasn't a fan of the Sears 4-2-5 defense.

This should be an easier win, then.

Looks like the reason for Sperbeck's resignation has come to light.

Those are incredibly minor violations that probably wouldn't have resulted in much of anything. Compared to what Oregon got away with last year, and Auburn a couple of years earlier, this is nothing. Heck, Paul Wulff had about 10 violations of that magnitude.

I'm a firm believer in integrity and winning by the rules, but if that's all there was, this is laughable.

Re-read the article and wow, I can't believe I missed that information. For those curious, the article reads:

The letter outlined in detail how Sperbeck allegedly violated NCAA rules by exceeding the phone call limit to recruits and stopping by a workout during an NCAA coaching “dead period.”

You're right, that is pretty laughable.

Good luck to Coach Sears. Glad he got another opportunity.

Agreed it seems ridiculous that someone should lose his job over such minor infractions, but why would a coach commit the violations with so little benefit and so much to lose?
