Thanks for you opinion I respect it I just don't agree with it. Coach Bradley was going to stay on the staff but a head coaching opportunity came up again for him and he took it. He had been looking for a head coaching job ever since he got fired at Westmoreland from what I hear and had applied for several over the last couple of years but finally landed at Mt. Pleasant. Coach Aric moved on to WC (again) and Coach Almendarez just didn't have the time to put in to it like he had in the past due to his job. Other than that who are you talking about. The non-faculty coaches are still there helping when they can (Hodges and Harvey). I can't think of any other assistants on last years staff.

That is 100% inaccurate. You obviously don't know the principal very well. I believe if you talk to Coach Cavanah he will tell you he was able to hire exactly who he asked for based on teaching positions that were available in the school at the time. Hiring coaches is a huge puzzle that somewhat is dictated by teaching positions available in the school. He hired his good friend and good Coach Mark Nelson along with Jerry Turner and Doug Guelde all of whom he knew from previous coaching experiences and have come here from KY. Sometimes in a high school setting you can't hire every single person you need based on teaching positions in the school. You can't just go around firing teachers so that a football or basketball or baseball coach can have that spot. Anyone who knows anything about how high schools are run can attest to that. I can promise you that if Coach Cavanah needs a coach and a teaching position in available Mr. Woods will let him hire him. That would go for any coach needing an assistant(s) in any sport. The man is not the dictator you think. He was great to work with when he was at Beech and I don't see any reason for it to be different in Portland. His interest is in the school as a whole and he wants to see all the programs succeed. Before you go blasting people you really need to now the facts and the truth. That is all I am saying.

Why do you say the principal at Portland is an idiot? I happen to know the man personally. He wants nothing more than for the school to have winning programs in all sports I can promise you that. I believe you yourself said the hiring of the new coach was a good one. In fact you are quoted as saying below. " This is a great hire by Mr. Woods".

This is a great hire by Mr. Woods. Best wishes to Coach C as he and his staff work to make the Panthers the best they can be. Again, best wishes to Coach Aric as he moves on to his next position wherever that may be.
