How the mighty has fallen!

Remember when Dennis Felton was riding high? WKU was dominating the Belt and had had three straight years of at least 24 wins, going to the NCAA each season. He parlayed that success into a job at Georgia, but the best he could do there was a .480 winning percentage and a single trip to the Dance. But, he landed on his feet and got a gig at Cleveland State. His record there was 22-44, and he was just let go by the Vikings. College basketball is a brutal way to make a living.

It does not make much sense that Cleveland State waited until this point in the summer to fire Felton, but the timing of move and the wording of the statement would lead one to believe there was something involved other than just wins and losses.
