0-9 and have been blown out in each game this season. No close games and only 4 seniors with the remaining roster being all soph's and freshmen. Very young team that needs to develop.

This team may not win a game all season.

Wasn’t Manya the name of Jerry’s Aunt who died after Jerry said he hated anyone who grew up with a pony?

Looks like the parents hated Manya. Very bad reviews as a coach and was apparently toxic.

Assuming she was a Brad hire, add another to the “Very much not so good” list. Hopefully Lewis fares better in that regard.

 

[TweederGMU]

Couple of lawsuits coming against her!? WOW. Apparently she's done a lot of damage to our players and program.... going to take a lot of fixing here. Did she come from Northwestern!? Jesus...."mentally abusive." It's a different landscape these days on what you say to kids and seems she crossed many different boundaries.

Seems Brad did not correctly vet her and didn't keep an eye on the program as he was probably already thinking of his next move.

And we made the hire!!??

 

[thebiasedannouncer]

These are some very serious allegations against Puppione... I figured she was gone after this season anyways, but this is much much worse than I thought, even with the terrible record.

 

[FlPatriot]

Something in the fairfax times on the upcoming season makes manya appear sane…unlike the link posted showing parent/player comments.

One gets the impression the two sources are talking about two different people.

 

[MasonSAE4]

I don't know anything about Puppione, but a few of those reviews read like they're written by the same person. Wouldn't shock me if they're true though.

We didn’t do anything. Brad did. Bad things do tend to happen when people in positions of authority are moving on to a new job and have one foot out the door …

She was hired in July 2021 from what I could find, so not quite halfway out the door.

Irregardless, a big yikes. Marvin has plenty to do to fix and improve our athletic programs.

You know what I meant.
