Well as long as people think I sound like a D.A. I guess it won't hurt my keyboard reputation to continue posting. As far as facts, a coach threatening to fist fight fight with a player on the sideline, coach about fighting with a grandparent at halftime of a game, and coach almost fighting with a parent at a banquet. Common denominator in all 3 incidents is the coach. Now maybe all of them aren't his fault but a pattern can be seen. The play on the field reflects the leader. Many more personal fouls and questionable hits than in the past. Bell used to be known for hard hitting defense, but not as a dirty team. All of these former players that are coming out to rally for your coach and his staff, you do know that when they all keep talking about lack of talent that they are blaming their misfortunes of you, students and young adults that they are supposed to be helping mold into men, don't you? But I would expect no less out of them. If Bell wins, the coaches are great, if they lose, then it must be the lack of talent and the middle school coaches fault for not being players for them. I was always told that everything you do comes back to you, I have had my share of my mistakes and mess-ups coming back to bite me cause I know I'm not close to being perfect, but at least I try to man up and own them not blame them on somebody else.

Do you care to share your timeline of these events and some of the facts that they happened? You seem to make them sound like they all happened this year which is far from the truth. You also neglect to mention the grandparent threatened to attack a asst. coach during halftime of a game during the teams halftime meeting. That grandparent who was once a parent had also threatened a basketball coach many years ago in the same way. The banquet incident has been chronicled many times before and does not merit revisiting.

The real problem here is what the future of the football program is now. 2016 looks to be challenging anyway but now looks really difficult. 4 or so starters return on offense. You loose the entire OL, 4 year starter at QB who played really well and 2nd leading rusher. On defense they may return 5 or 6 not sure. The new coach will have a difficult time filling his staff with $ problems in the system. I feel sorry for the players that are returning.
