We may never get a full answer, after all these are just rumors as far as I can tell.

He stepped off the plane wearing red and black. Went downhill from there.

Read that it is possible Gates wasn't getting along with the others and wanted responsibilities that other assistants had.

That's what is sounds like... It seems like he's a wanted commodity in "the industry" (as White said). So he probably didn't have a problem landing another job. How do you walk into a new job and get booted in 3 weeks? It's like the movie "Friday", he got fired on his day off!! :D

Three things I can think of.

1. Gates either did something on a crootin trip that White didn't like

2. Gates refused to do some things they initially agreed on

3. He just didn't get along with White, Mincey, Nichols.

There's a rumor going around that our athletic department couldn't cover Gates first pay check and things went sour. But don't worry, apparently we've already start to write up a contract for p.k. youngs top jv basketball assistant. Obviously he's the second hottest commodity out there right now.

It's just something about that trendy Nebraska logo that makes people want to be a Cornhusker.

His teeth look a lot less yellow when there's corn and mustard around.

So they hire a new coach and can't pay him? Now that sounds odd.
