Well you run off another good coach who cares about the program and winning.  Get all the parents together and let them hire someone who will do what all the parents want and play who the parents want to play.  Time to stand up for what is right and let coaches coach or do away with the athletic program and have class tournaments for all sports.

Why did they fire this coach? Since he wasn't from Grundy, he didn't have much of a chance to make it anyway.

 

From what he told me, he resigned and was not fired. He had dealt with drama all year from some parents whose kids were not good enough to either dress on the varsity team or to take minutes from younger players. It had gotten so bad that apparently he and his family was threatened twice by 2 different sets of parents and that the board there did nothing but encourage the drama. They even went as far as accusing him of stealing money to try and get rid of him after numerous other lies were found to be just that lies. That is a tough spot. I have met some of the kids that he had and they seem like good kids and he loves some of them to death, but there are a few that kids/parents and board members that need to leave before that job would even be worth looking at. Not a good situation for anyone not from there and would not recommend anyone applying for it. Not worth the headache.

    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April 
    • It will be interesting to see if the Warren County School District allows this to go before a jury or they settle out of court before going to trial.  My guess is that this case never goes to trial.  If this goes before a jury, they could award even more than the $750K.  I was on a jury where they were asking for 185K and were awarded 1.2 million.  You never know what will happen in that jury room.
