Former offensive coordinator Kurt Beathard hung a sign reading “All Lives Matter to Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ” on his office door as he left the Redbirds organization, he told the Pantagraph.
While school officials and Beathard have both declined to discuss the circumstances surrounding his departure, anonymous sources told the Pantagraph ‘Black Lives Matter’ posters had previously been removed from the team locker room, causing friction among players and staff.
