Not to mention, why would someone leave HVA. when they have backing, and time to improve, to go to a program where coaches might be released after one year?  These boys have families to care for.  They need stability.

I have a feeling there is a lot we don’t know about Cummings departure. The cussing is a speculation on here, but I believe there is more to it. Also, why did Cummings himself say he didn’t want to talk about the specifics if it was just the cussing?

So full of crap.  If he had actually done anything wrong enough to justify firing him, they wouldn't be able to keep him on as a teacher.  You get that right?

Time will tell. Eventually, we will hear something factual, I hope, instead of speculation from us outsiders on this forum.

That's just fact.  It's not a time will tell.  If he had done something "wrong" it would have been on the paper and they wouldn't be able to keep on staff.  Public schools don't have secrets.  

Multiple news sources printed their articles and we got the message he sent to the team.  It's not speculation.

If he had done something wrong, and then he sent a message to the team after that, how in the heck would you keep him on as a teacher?

Nope.  His "sin" was that he was hired by the previous principal.

I'm looking at this year's OR football program and OR has had a total of 12 coaches, if you count "Joe" twice, and only one coach was let go after one year. Since that can hardly be defined as a "pattern", I think most head coaches in the area, HVA included,  would consider the OR head coaching position., Now if OR had a history of firing coaches after a season or two, that would be a different story...but that's not the case.

Ridiculous. It's common knowledge that the previous principal and the current principal are good friends.

Your point?   

And more times than not "common knowledge" is complete BS.

Sounds like y'all are just gullible to me.  

 

Ain't no way there are many experienced applicants for this job.  No one with any sense would run the risk.

I'm certain @HTV remembers the Bearden coach search where the AD hired himself.

Correct. He's back in the AD position, now.  

Good guy, by the way.
