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

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
