Having spoken to Byrne about many of the issues raised in this letter, he defended Goff on many of them.
All the travel has been arranged before Goofball was hired. That is scheduled/budget 12 months out. The Campbell issues were 100% an administrative error and had nothing to do with Goofball. He also debunked the per-diem as Goof has to provide food OR give $$$. He does box meals.
That said, the treatment of players is the biggest isssue. Unfortunately, last I have heard, a kid struck by Goff a la Bobby Knight, and a kid who had an object thrown at his head refuse to speak up. Afraid of losing $$$ and their spot on the team. I had hoped they would talk but, they'd rather just be quiet....
i know several others who have talked to Byrne and I think he is a stand up guy who wants baseball to succeed. I just think short of the players treatment coming out, Goff stays. I just don't see the info getting out unless those involved speak up. I'm not blaming the kids. Imagine if you are a junior so, if you speak up AND Goff stays your career is over. Can't go to another school without sitting out. Chances are no school wants you b/c you are a snitch!
