    Olshey sacrificed him to keep his job after botching the LA situation so badly.

    Dang man. RIP to coach

    Maybe Leonard and him kept in touch?

    Edit: Just saw Meyers’ post. Condolences to him, and obviously the Hughes family as well. I had no idea that Hughes had such an impact on Meyers. Knowing Meyers’ back Story and how he viewed Hughes like a father figure makes my heart go out to him.
