00:00Thomas tapped Wiggins as Brockton's head football coach in April 2023.
00:06Wiggy spoke for three hours at the internecto,
00:09replacing Peter Colombo, who had led the program since the late 60s.
00:14The superintendent then went on medical leave months later.
00:17The glaring budget deficit with Nystrom back in Paris
00:20attributed to overspending caused by structural failures
00:23came to light around the time Thomas went on leave.
00:25Quote, we did not find evidence of misappropriation of funds
00:29by any city or school department employee.
00:31We found no evidence of financial fraud,
00:33theft or related criminal conduct, the report states.
00:36Uh-oh, Wiggins, a co-host on WEEI's morning sports radio show,
00:42had zero coaching experience and was not a member
00:46of the Brockton Education Association.
00:48I had a lot of coaching experience.
00:50I coached my kids from the time they were five years old
00:53all the way through high school.
00:54And I was a volunteer coach for the freshman team at Central Catholic.
00:58So that is some experience.
01:00Correct that, puppy dog. Let's go, Wiggs.
01:02Harold, I want my money.
01:04I want a full retractment.
01:06An agreement between the Teachers Union and Brockton School Committee
01:10establishes a stipend amount for a coach
01:12and preference shall be given to a union member
01:15when he or she has equal or greater qualifications
01:18than another applicant.
01:20Wiggins, a tight end who helped the Patriots
01:22win their first Super Bowl in the 2001 season, congratulations.
01:24Coached by Belichick.
01:25Received a draft contract before he was hired
01:27that listed him as, quote, mentor and head football coach, unquote.
01:32Right.
01:33At a salary of $100,000.
01:36What?
01:38That is news to me.
01:40What?
01:42Oh, my God.
01:44That is news to me.
01:46Uh-oh.
01:48Wait a second.
01:49Let me get out my calculator.
01:51Somebody owes me some money.
01:53How much is that?
01:55What?
01:57Hold on. How much is that?
01:59You fumbled the bag?
02:01$100,000?
02:03They owe me...
02:05I can barely hear you over there.
02:06Hold on, hold on, hold on.
02:07I'm speechless.
02:08I just can't believe he fumbled that bag.
02:10No, no.
02:11They owe me $85,000.
02:15This?
02:16They paid me 15 grand to do this.
