POLL: Should Jeff Darby be Fired

Yes, even if they were meant to be "private" tweets, they would be out in the Twittersphere and somebody would have seen them.
No, unless Hunter leaves. Now given we all have heard that Hunter had his mind made up already... I think people would really look down on him going forward. If somehow Hunter stays, hey, all is well...
Forget what this does to affect Hunter's decision. That may already be set in stone. What's most worrisome, is what this does to CTF and staff's recruiting efforts. Opposing staffs WILL use this fodder against UTEP. It could certainly limit UTEP's chances to sign players, who may well choose to sign with rival schools, that previously UTEP would have had the "upper hand" in signing. With Darby terminated, at least Floyd can tell the recruits the sole responsible party has been released, so there will be no repeat instance.
He's the school administrator for the basketball program. His job is too oversee the program and make sure the team is being properly taken care as well as promote the basketball product. He's the historian for the program as well. When there is an issue in the program, he the man that Coach Floyd has to go to. He is the Liaison between the basketball program and Bob Stull. He is also @utepathletics on twitter. The official twitter account for UTEP athletics.
In other words, if your involved in anyway with UTEP basketball.....he's got your back. This is a big deal. I am sure he's a great guy, a loyal guy, a hard worker, and the last thing you want to see is a man being fired.....but I don't see any other solution.

Darby should be asked to resign, with dignity if possible, if that doesn't happen - he should be dismissed post haste.
Given his position in the athletic administration and the reasoning Miner661 and KickBall have offered there should be zero tolerance for this kind of gaffe. If left alone - this issue will surely fester. Time will not heal this wound. This incident will be filed in a recruiter's rolodex & constantly referred to so long as Darby is drawing salary from UTEP.
Big difference between a senior administrator stating what he or she feels about a major player on his team and an idiot fan, like me, stating on a message board that Hunter will have a major challenge getting to the next level. big difference.
