Head football coach Rich Rodriguez has been fired from the University of Arizona. Wochit
The Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday came to the defense of fired University of Arizona football coach Rich Rodriguez, questioning part of the account of his former assistant who has accused him of sexually harassing her and creating a hostile work environment.
The university fired Rodriguez late Tuesday, following bombshell allegations in a nine-page legal claim from his former administrative assistant, Melissa Wilhelmsen. University of Arizona officials said the school had grown uncomfortable with the direction of the program on the field and fired him without cause.
