All I know is apparently he used a racial slur in a text. I read a pretty scathing tweet from Sean Smith formally of the Dolphins. Not sure where he is now. Basically saying that this is pretty much who Scally is. I will say most of the tweets I’ve read from former players defend Scally calling him a better person than a coach and all that so I don’t know what to believe.

Yeah, I've seen the tweets now. I guess it just goes to show that we are all different things to different people. It appears that Scally is mostly a very good person, but he has apparently made some mistakes along the way. Who hasn't? Hopefully he can become better and also be forgiven. Based on the little I know (I met Scally once but mostly I just know his reputation from afar) I hope that the U finds a way to keep him with the program. I won't be at all surprised if he becomes a very good head coach one day.
 
Suspension has been lifted after investigation into Morgan’s past, and he is now able to get back to his coaching duties. He is still being punished. His mistake was costly. In 2019 he was given a raise from making 525,000 per year to 1.1 million. His salary will go back to what it was before. Also, in I think 2018- or 2019 he was promised to be the next head coach after coach Whit. That promise has been rescinded.

In the article it shows a tweet from the player Scalley sent the racial tweet to. In the tweet he defends Scalley and condemned whoever brought to light the racist tweet accusing him of going out of his way to destroying Scalley’s reputation.

I don't see anything about a history. Where are you getting that? They are going back seven years and mentioning a single incident. Do we even know what word he used?

Another player said something Morgan saying something in 2008.

It's fair to bring it up, but what if the man has changed, evolved, become enlightened and more understanding?

They pretty much all stand by him. The one guy I’ve seen throw shade his way is Sean Smith.

Interesting. Sean Smith seems to come from the time when Morgan was also accused of saying racist stuff. I wonder what he said and under what context.

I've always liked the guy and I hope he's evolved into a better version of himself.

What happened during that time?
 
This is too big to sweep under the rug.
If those that did the investigation didn't find enough to justify terminating him, then there wasn't enough to justify terminating him.
I trust Harlan to do the right thing for the program.
If that means keeping Morgan (albeit in a penalized state), then that's the best thing.
So with this happening and ending up this way, all I can hope is that he DOES finally work himself back into a "coach-in-waiting" state, cuz he's a fantastic coach.
I still, even with all of this, hope he can recover enough to succeed Whit.
