CMU fires gymnastics coach following investigation

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (WOOD) — Central Michigan University has fired a head gymnastics coach who had been on administrative leave.

The firing of Jerry Reighard comes following an internal investigation that showed he repeatedly disregarded medical staff’s role in addressing student-athlete injuries, according to a press release from the university.

A 121-page investigation report from CMU Faculty Personnel Services cited "egregious misconduct" by Reighard in attempting to undermine the university's concussion management plan, the release stated.
