After Billy Donlon confirmed his firing on Wednesday, Mar. 17 Wright State fans have gone to social media asking Athletic Director Bob Grant for a reason as there has not been an official statement by the University yet.
Fans have expressed anger and confusion as the Raiders won 22 games this season with a 13-5 conference record for a tie of the most in school history and have made it to three Horizon League Championships in the last four years.
“It’s a bad decision,” Mack said. “I don’t know their athletic director, but we’re in a results-oriented business. Unless there was some scandal, which I know Billy and that’s not the case, he should not have been let go. The guy wins 22 games this year, 13 conference games, which is the most in the history of the school. Goes to the championship game three years in a row in the Horizon League. He graduated his players. I mean, again, I don’t know who Wright State is pretending to be or trying to be, but that’s ridiculous.”
ESPN sportscaster Dan Dakich posted a twitter rant also criticizing Grant for the firing.
