I just got word..

that he was employed by Jacksonville State University - a friend of mine who works in nearby Alexandria just told me he was fired from JSU for his participation on the t.v. show. I don't know the whole story, but word is he was fired - lets wish him the best

There was something about that..

...in the paper or one of the al.com blogs awhile back. Basically he was let go because he was away for too long and wasn't keeping up enough contact with them, so it sucks for him, but also very understandable on their part.

HERE IS THE STORY.....

By Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Jacksonville State has fired associate athletic director Roger Shultz, who took leave to compete on the reality TV show "The Biggest Loser" five months after starting the job.

The university fired the former Alabama football player in mid-March after he returned home to Enterprise, where he is still working out in an effort to win the weight-loss competition.

In a statement, athletic director Jim Fuller says Shultz was hired to enhance the university's marketing and fundraising effort, but after just a few months on the job he chose to go on sick leave to be a part of a TV reality show.

Fuller says it's time to move forward with the marketing and fundraising effort.

Shultz, who started out at 363 pounds, had lost 127 pounds through this week's episode on the NBC show. Shultz started taping the show in October and said he understands Jacksonville State's decision.

I hate it....

...that Roger lost his job, but he'll probably be better off in the long run losing all of that weight. He'll be healthier, happier and more employable when the show is over.

Roll Tide!

True

I wouldn't doubt he land something bigger now. He has a great persona on the show

Pride on 3

I'm glad someone posted this and saved me the trouble. Roger has been the one to beat since the 1st week. In the final week on the BL campus he dropped 15 lbs. (that is not a misprint) to set the on-campus weight loss record.

Congratulations to Roger (and Trent) for dropping all that weight. I got a kick out of hearing one of Roger's teammates let out a spontaneous "Roll Tide!" to congratulate him after one of their challenges.
