DelTavian Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Job has to be posted like all others. No telling what's going to happen up here. This place is a cross between a nut house and a zoo and it could be getting a lot worse soon. DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnfisher Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Haven't seen them this year but the kids always seemed to play hard for Coach Shaq. Best of luck to him and the team in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecu Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Shaq has done a great job with this once terrible program. He will be missed greatly. Good luck as he gets more time with his family now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck as he gets more time with his family now. “Another one bites the dust” just a wonderin who these mountains folks will get to work as hard as Shaq? I am sure they could get someone out of the stands cause they know more than most coaches.......just ask them! Heck I hear this one "ole man" a talkin about hittin....they should do this....they should do that.....cant understand why the coach is a doin this.......hmmmm I wonder why he aint a coachin cause if you listen to him he knows it all......kind of like "Ole MrNoitAll" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbal4life Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I agree, he has done a lot for the program. Is there anyone already on staff that is able to coach to this team and if so WHO? Or will they go out and find someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chs4life Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Shaq is a good coach and a better man I wish him the best of luck. What a shame two coaches in a week have left Grundy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binns37388 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Shaq was an excellent baseball umpire for me before he took the softball coaching job at Grundy Co. There's no doubt he did an excellent job as coach at Grundy Co. He was a little bit controversial with umpires as a coach, like some other good coaches I know. His passion for the game and players caused those problems, but we'll definitely be happy with Shaq back on the umpiring circuit and look forward to working with him as umpires. He'll be an asset to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many folks don't have the guts to stand up to folks when they are right, and if they do then they will call you call them controversial. To bad we don't have more people who are not afraid to stand up and be controversial if you ask me......which you didnt but it was free.

DelTavian Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Shaq will probably never get the full credit he deserves for taking the program to where it is today. This from a guy who at some times had little or no help, sometimes had a lot of help only to see it disappear and all the time had far more on his case than he deserved. He had to learn as he went from day one. He is a good guy who did a very good job and deserved a lot better treatment most of the time. He's also human and deserved some of the grief he caught and he'll be the first to tell you that. Someone asked earlier if Grundy would go out and go after a top quality coach. I'd bet at least $5 that the next coach will be someone already on staff. We've never gone out and searched for a softball coach. I'm sure they won't now. Maybe there's someone on staff that can step in and do a good job. I hope so. But I would not bank on them looking outside. We have serious trouble looking outside for anything. "Got to watch out for them foreigners." Thank you Shaq for all your hard work over the 9 years. You're a good guy and don't let anyone tell you different. You go pay attention to Sydney because that's what really matters. When they lay me in the ground as long as Hank says I was a good dad I don't really care what anyone else thinks. Won't take long for you to figure out that all that really matters to you is what Sydney thinks. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
