Athletic Director Shane Lyons recently released a statement stating that current West Virginia Mountaineers defensive coordinator Vic Koenning has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation after sophomore Kerry Martin released a series of notes on Twitter alleging misconduct and unprofessionalism by Koenning.
“I want to thank Kerry Martin for having the courage to bring his concerns to light. We will not tolerate any form of racism, discrimination or bias on our campus, including our athletic programs. Coach Vic Koenning has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately, and the department will work with the appropriate parties to conduct a thorough investigation into these allegations.
