If he cared about the kids or if he had a great deal of integrity, IMO he would have resigned especially after going 4-17 over the past two years. I guess he just wants to hang on to the job for the cash.

The administration is doing him a great favor by letting him stay and trying to get him some help. If he and the principal were not very good friends he would have been fired.

It is not just the losing, the numbers are at an all time low (less than 30 varsity players in a school with over 1250 students). The morale is low. The kids were actually fighting (throwing punches) each other in the huddle last year. The assistants did not get along. There were incidents in thestands between parents and the coaching staffs significant others. In some cases, some of these significant others even engaged in verbal arguments (taunts, cussing back and forth) with players from the opposing teams.

It was a long and embarrassing season on the field, in the stands, in the locker room and in the huddle at Whitley. Black is lucky to get another, the previous coach for fired for only winning 4 (twice as many wins as Black has been to earn in a season) games in his a season (his worst season in over a decade).

Things do not appear to be much better in the off season. Despite the poor numbers, Black continues to demean kids and run them off based on his personal feelings about them or their parents. Some casees are too obscene and bazarr to even mention on the internet since both felony and civil charges could possibly be filed.

So all in all, Black is lucky to be there. Hopefully the new faces will help get things straight and Whitley will move forth on a positive note . I wish him luck.
