Dunbar is an academic school first.

All grade schools, high schools, and post-secondary schools are SUPPOSED to be academic first. Ecspecially when tax dollars are helping fund the school.

And I agree, the principal's job should not hinge on the performance of the football team or the turnover among its coaches. And I don't think the principal is at question here. With that said, when you have coaches coming and going like that, it can really effect the students involved in the program.

I've been fortunate to play college football and coach high school football, and I've seen players grades drop after the season is over and/or after the head coach or most of the coaches leave, at both levels. Now most of the time, they only drop a letter grade, but that could be a trend that could start a Dunbar (knock on wood)
