In response to palestra38
I don't quite understand the mentality of going to the school papers and trying to create a mob verdict on these coaches. It's just not the way to do things.
I take it you have been gone for a while P38; I hope it was somewhere nice. Unfortunately, in 2019 America, mob rule -- usually via social media -- is the preferred method to handle just about everything.

The issue that concerns me are the allegations that Farlow ignored concussion protocols and otherwise forced players to play/practice when not healthy enough to do so. If true, those would be offenses worthy of firing a coach. The "coach was mean to me" stuff is likely just a coach who knows she's in trouble (she's won almost, but not quite, 28% of her games in 4 years at a program that used to be quite good) and is not handling the stress well.
My instinct is that the school didn't find anything on the concussion/injury angle -- the potential liability would encourage action -- and is otherwise just waiting for the end of Farlow's contract to move on. I'm sure they don't want to be paying two coaches for a sport that draws 100 people a game.
