Transcript

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.
