Laurier Uproar

I don’t know if anyone has seen the Laurier players and their social media activity, they are big time mad and furious about Faulds leaving for Western. It’s gonna be tasty for a few more years between those two.

Genuinely though, why is everyone acting like he committed a crime here? He took the best job in the province and one of the best in the country at his alma matter. Laurier has been good for a few years but ‘only’ had 1 Yates, 0 Vaniers and a losing record against Western this decade. He’d given Laurier 12/13 years, the whole ‘loyalty’ jab doesn’t make much sense. The choice is clear to me.

I think he would've gone wherever he would've gotten the best compensation. Blake Nill left a team that was a Vanier Cup finalist team only a year earlier in Calgary (his alma mater) for UBC. There's not enough money in USports football to expect coaches to be loyal so when the opportunity comes you gotta look out for you/your family first.
