Groth Says Soccer Program Is "In Much Disarray"
The Nevada Sagebrush called out the losing culture in Nevada Athletics under Athletic Director Cary Groth.
Kudos to the student paper for writing about Groth's failed leadership ... something the Reno Gazette Journal would never do ... until Groth is canned.
Afterall, the RGJ "has UNR's back".
The Sagebrush pointed out that "no team in Nevada athletics has a winning record".
After Nevada went 0-5 this past weekend, Groth/Nevada are 5-26 on the year. Football is 1-3, soccer is 2-11, and volleyball is 2-12.
Perhaps President Marc Johnson will spare us another "Nevada Athletics is healthy and successful" speech.
Groth's response to these embarrassing records:
“There comes a point when you have to start winning,” Groth said. “Winning is so important because it’s directly tied to donations, it’s directly tied to attendance and ticket sales.”
“You just have to watch how you’re progressing in your programs,” Groth said. “Soccer has been a program in much disarray for a few years...”
“But there comes a point ... when you have to start winning or changes will need to be made,” Groth said.
The changes need to begin with Groth's removal. And, when has she EVER cared about winning?
Groth's decisions pertaining to Head Coaches have consistently been to:
1) give contract extensions to chronically unsuccessful head coaches;
2) retain morally bankrupt head coaches;
3) promote assistant coaches of already unsuccessful programs;
4) promote assistant coaches that are nowhere near qualified to be Division I head coaches;
It is Groth's mis-management that has Nevada Athletics at an all-time low.
And, Groth's behavioral issues (compulsive lying, fabrication of documents, and retaliation) are the reason the soccer program is "in much disarray".
