291 The Master of Gong Gao Gai

After reaching the NCAA National Championship in the 2007 season with an unbeaten record, the coaching staff of the Kansas State University Wildcats experienced earthquake changes:

The meritorious coach Lu Yiqi, who was ordered to create miracles this season but created miracles, and wide receiver coach Augustus Phillips, both left the coaching team.

Various speculations continued to blow, until the Wildcats players made remarks. The players led by Nelson, Walker and Banks stood firmly on Lu Yiqi's side, saying that Lu Yiqi would never disrupt the order of the locker room, and would even be even more unlikely to ask for more control.

Things took a turn for the better.

However, those die-hard loyalists who support the Wildcats became angry because of this:

They believe that Lu Yiqi manipulated these innocent players to build momentum for him. Regardless of whether Lu Yiqi can return to the team, the order of the locker room has been destroyed - otherwise, the locker room should unconditionally choose to support a coach, and it is best to unite firmly and support the school's decision.

Of course, this is only the opinion of a small number of fanatical fans after all.

However, although all the mainstream voices in Manhattan support Lu Yiqi, they still cannot forget the fantastic season dream experience that Lu Yiqi brought to the team. They still think that Lu Yiqi is the most suitable coach for the Wildcats.

But those small parts of the provocative voices were always lingering, and they stubbornly insisted on their own ideas, believing that everything was Lu Yiqi's conspiracy, "greed and ambition after success and fame."

The school even shut up, refused to speak or comment, and things seemed to be no longer possible.

In recent week, Manhattan residents have taken to the streets to Kansas State University to protest, hoping that the school can give an explanation, and revoke the previous official announcement and rehire Lu Yiqi and Augustus.

The entire parade is gradually growing. Yesterday afternoon, I heard that 1,500 people gathered at the scene, so that the local official departments had to send police officers to maintain the on-site order.

But Lu Yiqi knew that things could no longer be saved.

After the National Championship, Pres' anger reached its peak and he completely refused any form of dialogue and communication with Lu Yiqi.

For the sake of championship and victory, Pres chose to compromise—

No matter what, the champion is the champion, which is a brilliant mark on the resume; and as time goes by, memories will gradually fade away. Perhaps five or ten years later, when people mention the 2007 Kansas State University National Championship again, the head coach position is still Pres, and no one will remember Lu Yiqi's credit.

But Price, who had been retreating again and again, had no way out, so he chose to fight back.

Shortly after returning to Manhattan, Pres officially showed up with Wifald and Weather:

Lu Yiqi must leave, otherwise the team's power distribution management will be completely messy next season, and the locker room atmosphere may even become a disaster; no matter what, Pres must re-establish his head coach's authority, and the premise is that Lu Yiqi must leave the coaching team.

Wifald and Weather did not agree at once. They looked forward to Pres being able to continue to serve as head coach. To some extent, they hope that Pres can control Lu Yiqi:

On the one hand, they still pay attention to Lu Yiqi's ability; on the other hand, they could not bear Lu Yiqi's temper.

Giving up Pres and choosing Lu Yiqi as the head coach is not an option at all. Wifald has never thought about such a possibility; but he still hopes to keep Lu Yiqi as the offensive coordinator, and the influence of winning the whole season is still there, so Pres will become a shield, and any chaos or disaster will be borne by Pres first, and then Weather stands behind to make macro-control.

Apparently, Pres refused to serve as the puppet shield.

For some time afterwards, Weather was always trying to communicate with Pres - Lu Yiqi was a stone in the pit, smelly and hard; but Pres was a guy who knew how to change. As long as there were enough interests, Pres could shake it.

But Richard Giesen's intervention changed the situation:

Richard still has no good feelings for Lu Yiqi, and strongly demands that Lu Yiqi leave the coaching team, and even join forces with several board members to put pressure on it-

The Wildcats' victory or defeat record has no direct interest connection with them, and at most it is an indirect interest relationship, so they do not have so many taboos and constraints.

After weighing the pros and cons, Weifald made a choice.

The NCAA is different from the NFL. The NFL is purely a business. As long as you can win the game and win the championship, even if the team manager or head coach is a bastard, they can continue to work; on the contrary, if you cannot win, even if you are a good person who loves flowers and blooms, they must leave.

NCAA is relatively complicated, with interests and power both part of it, but it is not limited to this - after all, the benefits brought by the team's championship are relatively limited, but the surrounding benefits that can be created by the intricate connection between the team and the school and the city are the real big head.

Wifald chose Pres and Richard, and this is the answer.

Lu Yiqi, who has been a human being for two lives, clearly understands this:

Champion, this is Lu Yiqi's achievement, but it is also Lu Yiqi's mistake. A saying "the master is highly capable" is enough to make Lu Yiqi a thorn in his eyes.

After learning the news, he was a little surprised, but Lu Yiqi quickly accepted the facts.

A small difference between internal news and official announcements is that Augustus resigned himself.

According to Weather's plan, after Lu Yiqi resigned, he promoted Augustus to serve as offensive coordinator. Compared with quarterback coach Brock, Augustus was more familiar with Lu Yiqi's tactical system and his on-site command was more mature and steady. Such seamless links can ensure that the Wildcats' offense remains stable next season.

However, after Augustus learned that Lu Yiqi was "resigned", he was furious and submitted his resignation letter, expressing his indignation and dissatisfaction with a decisive attitude.

Finally, in the official announcement of Kansas State University, Augustus was "disagreeable".

To be honest, Lu Yiqi has also thought seriously that if he had accepted the invitation from the University of California, Los Angeles and not be self-righteous and ambitious, then would he not be so embarrassed now? He could still face Pres with his head held high and his chest slamming the door: If he doesn't leave him here, he will have his place to stay.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Yiqi knew that if he did it again, he would still refuse the invitation. Because the dream goal of becoming the head coach of a professional team has not changed now; even if he encounters a small setback, he will not be depressed.

What's more, after winning the championship with a complete victory, Lu Yiqi is no longer the nameless man. Even if he can't stay at Kansas State University, Lu Yiqi is not short of work invitations, and can even be said to be very popular. What he needs to do now is to make a choice:
