I assume they're talking about prior posts discussing multiple kids leaving Gonzaga, parents' frustrations there, part-time coach not creating the best culture, and so on. Whether or not "toxic" is the best choice of words, it's not a great leap to say there is definitely smoke at Gonzaga.


Yep - Toxic is probably not the best choice of words. All good people doing their best from what I can gather. “Not ideal” better describes it.

Navy guy is not the answer. DC that played for the terps is legit. OC upgrade badly needed.


Sounds like GZ has a lax program culture problem, so nothing is going to change until they fix that. Suppose that's what you get when your HC isn't a part of the school in any way. Sort of a deadbeat dad. Don't believe any of the other coaches at GZ are part of the school either.

PVI apparently doesn't seem to suffer from the same toxicity, which may be why so many kids are transferring (or trying to transfer) there.

HS assistants don’t normally follow the HC, but who knows. Wouldn’t surprise me if STAB announces Lars Tiffany as new HC and the assistants stay under him.

What's with the King talk now? What have I missed? There was an earlier post in this forum or another showing how the program has gone down (in terms of rankings) every year under him. Not sure if this is the basis for this rumor or if there has been something else I missed. At least GZ still has a rugby program to be proud of.

The students and parents loved him at STAB. He was brought there to rebuild their program, which he did instantly - three straight VISSA state finals, winning the last two. He is one of the most likable people I've met in the lax world. The guys' recruiting game is ELITE.
