This may mark the beginning of the rise of Windermere High, and the decline of West Orange, as a football program. Bob Head was a very good football coach who got the most out of the kids he coached. Sorry to see his tenure at West Orange end this way and hope that: a) he will get a second chance elsewhere; and B) something like what happened never happens again.

I really feel for the guy.  In the old days, this would have passed.  Today, everyone is so worried about image, your so-called friends and supporters bail on you in a heartbeat, regardless of circumstances.  Everyone makes mistakes.  Gosh, with the mindset today, it's a matter of time before any of us gets thrown in jail and/or fired.  Let's make an entire family, not to mention his players, suffer because "it didn't look good"...pathetic.

Rush Probst, Robert Kraft, Larry Baer...folks are dropping like flies.  Has anyone noticed?:rolleyes: Will we have any coaches left in 10 years?

The irony...I think most sports fans are well aware that many athletes, coaches, franchise owners etc, are not your typical, middle-of-the-pack folks who go through life without some bit of controversy.  It's their edginess that often propels them to prominence in business and/or athletics, right?.  

How many coaches or pro athletes out there have never...gotten in a nasty altercation with a wife/girlfriend, slapped/punched someone not truly in self-defense, committed adultery, watched porn on the internet, gotten disorderly and/or drove while under the influence, etc etc   I bet many of us could have been arrested if we had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if there had been iphones back in the day to video us at the "wrong" time. 

A pattern of behavior is one thing...but today one incident can ruin your career and means of putting food on the table.  I find our lack of compassion/tolerance today much more disturbing than some of these behaviors for which people are being put in jail or fired from jobs.   Do any others feel this way?

there is always someone trying to get you fired.  Sucks people act or think that way.

nope they give those to all the kids that participate in sports.  That's why we have 9 classes.  

I have no problem with anyone who participates and finishes their commitment to get a medal

 

But there should be a significant difference towards people who finish as the best to be given the ultimate trophy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
