Mike Jeffcoat, the coach at Texas Wesleyan University and a former major-league pitcher, has been fired after saying in an email to a Colorado high school prospect that the university no longer recruits players from the state due to failed drug tests.
"Thanks for the interest in our program," Jeffcoat wrote to Cherokee Trail High School senior Gavin Bell on Feb. 20. "Unfortunately, we are not recruiting players from the state of Colorado. In the past, players have had trouble passing our drug test. We have made a decision to not take a chance on student-athletes from your state. You can thank your liberal politicians. Best of luck wherever you decide to play."
Hey Mike, thanks for your contribution to the program. Unfortunately, we are not employing coaches who discriminate against kids because of a political agenda. You can thank the fact that you're a douchebag. Best of luck coaching little league.
