He's not pulling the race card as the reason for being fired imo

He's bringing up race as ironic for given all that has transpired over the last year, specifically at Utah. If Whit's truly unhappy about wr's transferring that's not in the wr coach, it lies specifically with the OC and HC for being so run heavy.

All that being said, Holliday left BYU for greener pastures...how did that work out? No sympathy here, but he did get paid and should land on his feet somewhere

It's very normal for employer/employee to wait until after the employee has found a new job before announcing anything.

I hate the race card. Use it sparingly, when supported by evidence.

I agree, but I can see how it feels like a double standard comparing Holliday’s

Is there any evidence this decisions was race based?

No, but there’s also little evidence that is publicly known that Holliday

it has nothing to do with race, it has to do with he can't fire his buddy Andy
