There has been a lot of complaining about Parker hire, but I believe the community will give Parker a chance. I want to correct something said in an earlier post. Coach Brown was not fired or terminated. He and the principal apparently had some major differences in the role of athletics at the school and giving tuition aid to athletes. Same for Kip Brown. The principal told a group of parents that Brown did nothing to be fired and was offered a contract and did not accept it. Rumors I heard were that Brown had been rewarded financially by previous principal and that he was making a larger salary the football coach and athletic director. That is not the norm especially at private schools. I think coach Parker is a good coach but it's a shame to see Brown go. The way he turned JPII into a D2 power from a joke is pretty amazing.
