I want to preface this by stating that I'm not in any way related to Ti or have any sort of affiliation with him.
I'm a little taken aback by the vitriol directed at him since his departure. Yes, he certainly could have posted some better worded tweets, but the board has turned him into a pariah.
Lets keep a couple of things in mind:
1. We don't know the exact details of the circumstances that led to his departure. One possibility goes as follows: Given his experience in sound offenses in college and at the pro level, perhaps he saw the fraud that Gleeson was and called him out on it, Schiano sided with Gleeson, and Ti was the odd man out even though he ended up being spot-on about that joke of a coordinator. Ti got fired because he disagreed with the schemes of a terrible coach. If Schiano had listened to him, perhaps we would've been rid of Gleeson sooner and we wouldn't have had to suffer through that offensive abomination last season. I like Schiano a lot and I wanted him back after Ash nearly burned the program to the ground, but Schiano is far from perfect. He was dead wrong about Gleeson and wouldn't budge even when it became obvious from within that he was wrong. It's not the first or last time he's bet on the wrong horse.
2. Ti was a loyal son. Can't even begin to imagine the blood, sweat, and tears he and the rest of those boys put into digging this god-awful program out of the mud during Schiano 1.0 That's just a fact and nobody can dispute that. So perhaps some of you keyboard warriors who are quick to put him down should take a step back and ask yourself what exactly have you done to elevate the program? Do you think you've contributed nearly as much as he did in his time here? If not, then take a step back and show some respect. Or at least, stop treating the tweets like a personal attack. Some of you guys are so damn proud of the school and program yet we have one of the smallest endowments of any major college in America. So which is it?
It's all a matter of perspective. How would you feel if you got fired for calling out your clueless boss who was going to cost you and your colleagues your jobs with his ineptitude and years later that boss finally got exposed and fired? I'm sure all of you would be salty too and would've said a lot worse about your former employer. And before you go there, please spare me with your high horse "I would've handled it better" nonsense. We're human after all.
