I have sat back and read the comments and will only say this. I have been a part of a staff that played against Antioch the last 2 years. When Hall was in charge we spent very little time in game prep for them. The team was terrible, lacked organization and scheme. I wondered if the players even knew what they were running offensively or defensively. Woodward comes in, gives them structure and improved the program tremendously. Had to actually prep for them this year and it was a much more competitive game than the year before. I actually hope they give the job back to Hall because it will at least make my job easier preparing for the Bears!!

Work I'm not sure it's all hear say ... Like I said I hate all of this and the impact it had I really wish it would be all over with because it got ugly

[workinprogress]

Golden it may very be over. Hate that this happened just as you say. My concern is that the kids deserve the best. They won't find anyone better than Woodward. They won't find anyone more of a bear than his wife. Anyone that knows her knows this is the truth. And the kids deserve to not only be heard but responded to. This is the part that is lacking. There has not been any statement made to the students of Antioch high, well except for do not interrupt the school day and come back inside. They deserve more than that.

Good post...I've heard the exact same stories from two other coaches.

I read the letter the students wrote on and I think it's not the firing of the coach the kids are really mad about it's the change. The have some legitimate reasons but being a guy from the Inner city and walking into a cane ridge or antioch the feel it totally different. I'm about to post the letter in a sec

Everything you say is true. I will say that sometimes when told no,let it go and move on.

Is it confirmed that the Stratford position is open?

Also Bleacher, you called out the kid that was speaking for the students, what was his agenda? He seemed pretty passionate about Coach Woodward and the other issues.

[workinprogress]

I don't believe the Stratford position is officially open yet.

[workinprogress]

I thought the kid speaking did a fine job. Not sure what agenda he could have.

His dad had drama with the administration.

[workinprogress]

Bleacher without being too specific could you enlighten us on the issue. His dad is also a bear through and through. Great person and has done wonders for his program.

I hope I am not the only person to see that this is nothing more than "payback".
