So there are a lot of things to take into consideration. I for one have sat through practices, scrimmages, been part of the booster club, and been to all but 3 games in the last 10 years. That said I watched attitudes, behavior and sportsmanship drop year over year for the last 3. I like and know everyone of these coaches, but as" capable" coaches where was the leadership that was lacking from the program. It is not the head coach's sole responsibility to hold the player accountable, demand respect and or drive each player to his best . That falls on every single coach on staff. I say that, to say, that leaving or being asked to leave, doesn't really matter. Being a coach is not a volunteer position, it is a job. If I don't perform my job to my bosses standards or expectations , I can expect i will get to do one of those things. I watched players walk off the sidelines last year and go talk to family in the bleachers. I watched kids throw fits and slam doors and quit, only to be playing again the following week. That wasn't a Coach Hartsfield issue , that was an entire staff issue. As far as high school football coaches go in my 50+ + years I never met a great coach that didn't already think they were to some degree. It will be a rough season, but I am curious to see who comes in and fills these spots and what the end result looks like. This will be one of two things . A great turn around or a terrible disappointment. I will still be pulling for them either way.
