We Support Coach G

A steady dose of truth from those who were there. We support Nino Giarratano and protest his wrongful termination from the University of San Francisco.

[University of San Francisco @usfca]

Paul J. Fitzgerald, S.J., has informed the USF Board of Trustees that after 10 years of service and thoughtful discernment, he has made the decision to resign as president of the University of San Francisco.

It was great to reconnect with USF Dons Baseball Alumni at The Dante Benedetti Classic and show our support for Coach G. If you haven't done so already, check out @WeSupportCoachG or https://t.co/qoLpntRSVJ

On 8/30/22 @Pontifex called hypocrisy in the church 'detestable'. @usfca admin interviewed 0 witnesses for the investigation yet in their motion to dismiss John Doe's 4-12 they claim legal action is unreasonable because witnesses memories may have faded. We agree with The Pope.

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

Considering John Doe 5 claims he still has panic attacks 10 years later (Line 366) reaching out to the cause of them “just to catch up” seems a little odd yeah? 🥸

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

JOHN DOE 5: has had “nightmares since 2012” and felt “extremely unsafe” and “forced to quit the program” b/c of a coach who “caused life long problems” and “systematically ruined his love for baseball”.

ALSO JOHN DOE 5: reached out to Coach G on LinkedIn “just to catch up”.

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

(Line 255) LAWYER'S CLAIM: Coach G said he would only give extra work to John Doe 3 if he was one of his top 5 players.

TEAMMATES SAY: If they (John Doe's 1-3) worked half as hard on the field as they did on the lawsuit they would have been more successful.

You must listen and respond @usfca, @DonsAthletics @SFDonsBaseball to your student-athletes. There is a true story being told because you would not ask. This is your do over. Your young men, particularly your 2022 grads are hurting. Do you care?

[Kevin Cronin 🇮🇪 🇺🇲 @bkcronin]

THIS, Father Paul, @usfca, @ronkroichick, and others is the TRUE culture of @SFDonsBaseball. Next time, try getting the other side of the story before you destroy a man's reputation and career. #WeSupportCoachG

Please respect that every story has two sides. If you’d like more of mine feel free to reach out 2/2

[kyle knell @kyleknell4]

The best thing anyone can do for you is tell you the truth. Some thoughts I’ve had that I wanted to share @WeSupportCoachG @usfca 1/2

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

🤥 "Our investigation has revealed that the coaches would routinely berate players with profanity-laced, sexualized screeds intended to humiliate and intimidate them, OFTEN IN FRONT OF OTHER PLAYERS OR FANS,” said Fegan.

Q: 24yrs. So many witnesses but none who will corroborate?

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

Actual lawsuit is so out of touch...

🤥 LAWYER CLAIM: "transfer rate of college baseball players is 2%"

REALITY: The '21 average was 18% (see image below from @ncaa)

🤥 🤥 LAWYER CLAIM: "the NCAA disciplines athletes for profiting off their own likenesses"

REALITY: #NIL

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

While the rest of the NCAA has been stepping up to help student athletes, ⁦@usfca⁩ brass has downgraded or cut these programs, then gave the 2022 baseball players a 1-800 number to call and threatened to end the season if they didn’t keep quiet. 🤫 https://t.co/5ntANR9LuA

Another excerpt from one of the 30+ letters of protest sent by 2022 parents to the @usfca administration.

#WeAreNotJohnDoesForAReason

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

About 1000 kids went through the program with Coach G in his 24 years. The anonymous 12 seemingly struggled with the idea of maturity. #WeAreNotJohnDoesForAReason #WeSupportCoachG

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

The most mature kids are usually the hardest working kids and usually the coach's favorite players...because he TRUSTS them!

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

“It was a joke” say players who volunteered to be a part of the investigation. It’s sad to know that the 2022 team didn’t feel like they had a voice at all. What do you think…Does an institution like @usfca owe their students a better sense of due process?

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

Kids from all walks of life have played for Nino. Assistant US Attorney Tavo Hall from #WeSupportCoachG class of 2008 really put in on the record in his protest letter.

[We Support Coach G @WeSupportCoachG]

#Amen. Thank you to the 31 parents from the 2022 USF Baseball Team who sent letters to the administration protesting the wrongful termination of Nino Giarratano.

100+ Letters. Read them here: https://t.co/yG0zjVDRQZ
