I wanted to tell all the great shocker fans that this will be my last year as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Wichita State University. To each and every athlete that I’ve had the privilege to work with - please know that I’ll always be here for you and I truly care about you !! As a lifelong resident of Wichita Kansas it’s been easy to sale recruits and their families on this great university and this incredible city !! This has been a hard decision because I always thought that I’d finish my career at Wichita State - but after the last couple of years I’ve realized that’s it’s time to move on. I’m not sure what the Lord has planned for me, but I’m excited to start the next chapter !!-
For me, that would be their excuse, but once again, a very poor try on their part.Originally posted by shock View Post
Think "Top of the line Head Strength Coach, who happens to be old school, and is strongly having to request upgrades all the time". Remember FVV comments about the facilities.
But of course, they cannot afford it! We secretly extended the contract of an incompetent AD (and gave him a raise) who used all the money unnecessarily by way overpaying a newbie head basketball coach.

Even Kerry is moving on.

How many strikes is this for Muma and Boatwrong?? When will someone do something?
From his post, very telling:

Wonder if what he “realized” was the Athletic Department going to $#!+…The AssmanComment

When I was a student athlete at WSU I LOVED Rosenboom. He was the perfect combination of caring and demanding. He made me better. And was a joy to be around. I saw him one Sunday selling donuts with one of his kids as a fundraiser for a youth league sport his kids were involved in.........I bought 3 dozen.
This is a sad day for WSU athletics.Comment

To my former athletes:
———————————-
Please know that when I held you accountable it was to prepare you for life after athletics.
Please know that when I disciplined you it was to remind you that we all have consequences for our actions.
But most of all - please know that I’ve always wanted the best for you !!
Take Care, God Bless, and Much Love,
Kerry (A.K.A. — Chief)"
The last part directed to the former athletes is weird ...Comment
