Wardle was pretty much vindicated by an outside attorney who was hired to investigate the alleged mistreatment of players at UWGB. The two complaints the university received were from helicopter parents who thought he was being too hard on their kids. Wardle’s core players vouched for him and the end result was Wardle meeting with a personality coach to discuss how to better motivate his team. His best years at UWGB came after that investigation. thanks I didn't follow the situation that closely just knew of complaints. I do think Miller and Wardle are my 2 early favorites. No problem ... As mentioned previously, I thought his 5-year tenure in Green Bay was very successful. He left on good terms for a big pay bump at Bradley. If I’m being objective, however, he might have an issue with the media. He famously burned a bridge with a local newspaper reporter, Rob Demovsky (who now works for ESPN covering the Packers). Wardle felt Demovsky’s coverage of the mistreatment allegations was unfair. Demovsky claimed he tried to get Wardle’s side, but Wardle was bound by a gag order while the investigation was ongoing (which is true). Wardle cut off Demovsky’s access to the program, which was pretty much essential for a local newspaper reporter. I didn’t think much of it because the whole thing seemed overblown, but Wardle was accused of a similar media issue at Bradley: https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-bradley-brian-wardle-peoria-journal-star-reporter-20190316-story.html
