Nevada Golf Coach Resigns - "Do You Blame Him?"
Nevada's Men's and Women's Golf Coach, Adam Pohll, resigned last week. Seems it caught the athletic
administration off guard as they appear to be avoiding a press release on the subject.
Pohll was originally hired to replace the women's coach who took a job elsewhere on campus. Pohll later added the men's program to his responsibilities after Rich Merritt was dismissed over major NCAA violations.
The golf program was under investigation when Pohll was hired...But I doubt Pohll was advised of the mess he was getting himself into.
He resigns with the women's team in last place. The men finished third with a very senior laden squad.
With reductions in scholarships for both programs on the horizon (penalties for Merritt's misconduct), it is hard to fathom that the Nevada golf programs future is very bright in the near term.
The student-athletes are getting the raw end of the deal, again, due to A.D. Cary Groth's mismanagement.
Groth was determined to keep Rich Merritt at all costs...student-athletes and the golf program be damned.
