Of course the media stirred the pot more, as usual, but Tommy Lloyd too commented on it.
For me this is a bit of an effort to smear the school at this point. Which is massively unfortunate because most of us thought of Monson as a class act.
Monson's contract was already going to run out, correct?? Mutual decision but everyone is making this out to be totally different.
Not cool.

I had heard 2% but rest matches up. So he gets $98,000 per year + medical insurance for life.
And, if he went to Fresno State he could continue to grow his CalPERS number.
🖕 Mark Few.
I believe 2.5% is for public service (police/fire type) officers.
Claims of lost insurance seem likely to be BS. I believe that at LB coaches have the same retirement and insurance as faculty. Monson will receive 2.5% (because he was hired prior to 2013) of his highest salary for each year he worked. Additionally, if he retires within two months of the end of his Cal State employment, he keeps the health insurance for the rest of his life. At 62, he is eligible to retire now.
+1 - Few and CDM made it too much about him when it was long overdue that a change was needed. You summed it all up again, on point.
We need to turn the page. As you noted, and I'm seeing the same from folks from my era, alums who have largely tuned out over the years are ready to be interested again with this change. Now smitheran and the new coach need to get out there and WIN support back!

Unfortunate quote in first graph
Monson told him he felt time for new voice
2 NCAAs in 16 seasons in a borderline terrible league
Empty seats
Done NO local promotion beyond the golf course
Just BAD unwatchable basketball
Mark Few is a prick; claiming Monson lost his insurance which is bullshit. 17 years; 15 as highest paid coach in league and at least 12 years as highest paid CSULB employee.
The contract has expired; nobody got fired. Everyone here has been counting the days.
Let's try not to take our eyes off the real issue.
Hopefully a few seasons from now LBSU basketball might be relevant again. Would be nice to give a crap again at my alum.
Give the new AD a break. And 🖕 Mark Few.
