Sunny Golloway* Insiders tell us Golloway's behavior during his short tenure at Auburn has been erratic at best, if not borderline bizarre. They do not believe that this is a case of a new coaching staff culling a few bad apples. Instead, they see a coach with a flawed approach, one that is unlikely to work.
* Multiple sources tell us that the parents of several players approached Auburn administrators and expressed concerns about Golloway and his temperament and handling of the team. There are even rumors of taped conversations that show Golloway in a less than flattering light.
* Sources tell us at least one person kept detailed notes throughout the season on Galloway's antics.
* Golloway came from Oklahoma with a reputation for being difficult to work with. There were several flags, which most dismissed considering his past successes. Some now wonder if Auburn should have dug a little deeper before making him the second-highest paid baseball coach in the Southeastern Conference at $650,000 per season.
* Golloway's buyout is buyout is $1.25 million, but drops by $250,000 after June 30 per Section 19(b) of his employment agreement.
* At this point is seems unlikely Golloway could survive, although we've been cautioned no final decision has been made regarding his future.
Interesting, indeed.
