Queen's coach fired over comments of Guelph's handling of DST allegations

Queens doubles down...

https://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2020-05-22/news/principal-deane-will-not-reinstate-boyd-third-party-to-review-athletics-department/

So, Queen's is taking action to ensure that is will be reasonable. Has Boyd done anything other than complain ( over time he has gone on about athletes, other coaches, institutions, his own management, etc etc?)

I hope Queen's continues onwards and upwards. Perhaps at some point Boyd can find his way to positive works. Will he proceed with the defamation suit, or not?

Can we get an update on the coaching search??

I'm hearing that mark doesn't want to move to Kingston and shane resigned as a queen's coach 11 years ago because the athletes thought he did a terrible job of coaching and complained and he hasn't coached since. Sounds like there won't be much of a coaching staff, doubt anyone would want to be involved.

I don't much like oldster in his internet persona, but he is a good coach, as is Bomba. Kingston might become a bit of a distance powerhouse with both of them there coaching.

He...he took a job that's based in Kingston but he doesn't want to move to Kingston?

Any insight why he would do this when he has a thriving post-collegiate group in BC?

Because thriving post-collegiate groups don’t pay. Lol

That shows a real commitment to his athletes in BC that are on the cusp of making Olympic and world teams. Clearly he cares a lot about the athletes

He’s a qualified and reputable coach. Athletes will stay to work with him. Well done Queens. Time to move forward

Athlete's who stay in Kingston won't be working with Bomba in 2020-2021, as he will not be moving to Kingston. Their 2019-2020 coaches were highly qualified, reputable, and actually live in Kingston right now. Bomba apparently responded to a request to hear the athletes' side of the 2020 saga and responded with a sarcastic teardrop crying emoji because he doesn't care about the student athletes just the $$$$$.

That Queen's repeatedly lied on their coach hiring announcement and Gaels profile to misrepresent Bomba's experience is pathetic. Apparently they held a Zoom chat with the athletes and then immediately shut it down when an athlete began to ask questions of the coaches. The entire hiring process was a farce.

Could you please explain exactly where they lied and where they exaggerated his accomplishments? Not doubting you. Just want to have precise information. Thanks.

From the press release article: Bomba brings to Queen's 26 years of elite endurance coaching experience at the club, university, national and international level, including working with several Olympic and World Champion level athletes.

1. He does not have 26 years of coaching experience.

2. There are currently no world champion level atheltes in Canada let alone that he is working with.

Sure these are minor details but in a press release they shouldn't be making any mistakes especially regarding the caliber of athletes he works with.

The level of petty behaviour is almost laughable

That’s probably why the only people engaging in this discussion and others are queens athletes and those associated with that group

Anyone with an ounce of common sense will continue to steer clear this juvenile bs

Isn't it ironic that oldster doesn't comment anymore? When he was employed with queens and advised not to comment on message boards, he decided to comment. Now, he's not employed with queens, nothing to hold him back, and he doesn't comment?

Two very good hires for a very good school. Bomba is a great coach - Sarah Inglis, Regan Yee, Fiona Benson. Queen's is fortunate to have him as a coach.

Hmm Fiona Benson doing quite a lot these days, eh?

Also, the second hire is good for Queen's??? Under his leadership the team did nothing significant and had a toxic culture. Sure though, he's an awesome hire.

What on earth are you talking about? I was on some of those teams and there was no toxic culture. Plus the women won CIS and both teams produced All-Canadians. They weren't Guelph but they weren't a joke either.
