Dunbar is an academic school first. The principal's job should not hinge on the performance of the football team or the turnover among its coaches. Obviously, you cannot build a football program by changing coaches every season, but as long as Dunbar students perform well academically, I doubt that the principal's job will be in any jeopardy.

True...BUT, good academics and good athletic programs can go hand in hand. Student morale, school pride, etc. can all be enhanced by both outstanding academic performances and athletic performances. I have a cousin who played under Meighan, and to this day he is filled with Dunbar pride. Look at Pikeville, Lex Cath, etc., those programs excel in both areas and have tremendous fan followings because of the pride in the school in both arenas. Can't imagine WHY in the world they would drop the FCA program, that is a wonderful program. But Dunbar has been plagued with some bad coaching hires. Wasn't there a scandal not too long ago about the baseball coach (I think) who allegedly mishandled booster money? What happened to them? What was done to enhance the integrity of the athletic department afterwards? That school needs a strong principal AND a strong Athletic Director who are both committed to excellence in academics and athletics.
