Warren Co. Head Coach Dismissed

[PIONEERS12]

The following courtesy of WBMC:

 

Just one week after the WCHS Pioneer baseball team was eliminated from the Region 3 Tournament, Pioneer head baseball coach Adam Childs was relieved of his duties. In a text message Monday afternoon, Childs confirmed he was dismissed.
WCHS officials would only say they want to go in another direction with the baseball program.
Childs leaves the program, having won over 100 games, with one district championship, 3 region tournament appearances and one substate appearance.

1 step forward, 2 steps backwards.

Must be more to the story.

All politics.  Coach Childs has done nothing but a phenomenal job at Warren County leading them to multiple regional appearances and I believe one sub-state appearance during his tenure.  He is a quality baseball guy and a fine man as well.  Very disappointing that Warren County High School would do such a thing.  I think they will look back and regret this day. Baseball was one of the few sports that saw success at the high school in recent years.  Best of luck to Coach Childs.

after the meeting tonight it sounds like there was a lot more to this than politics.

It's called an AD who has never had anything to do with the baseball program and ruins everything he has had a decision in and a high school principal who is best friends with a riverdale snake who will probably become the new head coach. Coach Childs has had one the most successful baseball programs at the high school starting with my senior class and progressed from their on. Time to fire the AD!!

Why not fire the wchs lady pioneer head basketball coach? This would be heading in the right direction! But we all know who is buddies with each other, right? Warren county will always fail in sports program management with the current AD. Time to make changes in administration and not firing good, successful coaches.

Riverdale snake? You know where he played his high school baseball at? Or do you?   I do. There is a big bat out by the right field foul pole that could be a clue

Yep, he was my middle school coach. Great players do not mean they become great coaches.

These videos sum up high school sports now, sad.

Unreal that they fire the only coach to have regular success in warren county sports.

Warren County doing Warren County things.

Coach Childs is a great coach and a better man.
