Lely (Naples) Ben Hammer is out

People who know me know I have very inside close family members and friends within Charlotte High.  Also have close family members and friends in the youth football programs in Charlotte, Sarasota and Lee Counties.  I’m certainly not saying Justin Midgett isn’t a candidate for either the Ft Myers or Charlotte head coaching jobs.  I’m not going to say anything about the Ft Myers job but I have heard some pretty valid inside info.   As far as the Charlotte job it was determined not enough progress was being made.  Many in the program including players were ready to move on. One of the issues was Coach Mentzer failed to establish and attend youth football programs.  Developing important relationships within the area was not something he made a priority.  Charlotte has and expects a lot of interest in the job.  A local head coach has actually shown up at the Charlotte offices on their own volition.  

They are afraid of the Governor, state legislature, and the Department of Education.
