ETSU fans think he was forced to resign because he supported his players kneeling during the National Anthem. Shay and the players have been canceled. If true, ETSU might not ever sign another young black man.
It is going to take years for ETSU to recover from this debacle. This coach was well loved by his players. He took a depleted group and led them to a winning season. In fact, he was nominated for an award as the best first year coach.
