Minnesota State Mankato coach Todd Hoffner's career was ruined after child porn allegation - ESPN The Magazine - ESPN: Now he phoned the university and heard he would receive an overnight letter, which didn't show up for days. So he began to slowly disassemble the life he had built. He wanted to prepare for the worst, in case he was suspended or demoted or even fired. He called coaches at other small colleges, asking about vacant assistant positions. He canceled his golf club membership, convinced he wouldn't be able to afford it without a job.
He was about to suspend his cable on a Tuesday morning when five police cars pulled up to his house. Two officers approached the door. Hoffner greeted them outside.
"What's all this about?" Hoffner asked.
This time he got an answer, and it only confounded him more.
He was under arrest on suspicion of producing and possessing child pornography.
