I hate PC! It is nothing but a huge pile of horse dung and if that school district is full of it...why would anyone with a brain want to work there?
He should get another gig, and get the former school on the schedule. Actions speak louder than words.

He should get another gig, and get the former school on the schedule. Actions speak louder than words. What does PC have to do with this? It sounds like this boils down to hazing incidents. Schools are trying to get rid of it completely. Some folks don't think it's any big deal. The article quotes parents using the "boys will be boys" defense. The problem is, like most things these days, is there's not a consensus on what constitutes hazing vs horseplay. Since coming down on hazing is a change from the "good old days" it must be part of "political correctness" and taking away the "fun" of how things used to be. |

Hazing is just the vehicle...My guess is there another story,real story.

It can suck, but as someone who was enrolled in high school when our basketball coach was fired for really no reason and then at my first teaching job the basketball coach was fired for really no reason, the coach in question honestly just needs to move on. Even if this coach is rehired, it'll last one year and then the board will get better, more concrete "evidence" and then fire him next year anyway.

I read an article where one of the thoughts was that it had something to do with hazing, but no one could substantiate that.
The more 'popular' consensus is that the Super Intendent has some sort of gripe with the coach and in turn had him relieved of duty.
The sad part is i could see a Super do that, or even a principle, everyone has an ego.

I wish the school actually responded with their investigation findings.
Regardless this is a media nightmare for the school. And this is more of a giant FU to the administration from the coach. Not sure how this is going to play out in the long run for him and his staff, assuming he gets reinstated

The sad part is i could see a Super do that, or even a principle, everyone has an ego. Its not hazing or bullying. It the other thing or something along the lines of the other. Maybe the super want another guy... or the principle has another agenda...or maybe the coach cant keep it in his pants... But if the school board fired him, something is there. The reason i say its not hazing, is because you have to define and then show that somehow the coach is uniquely allowing it while...hazing and bullying never happen anywhere else in the district much less the schoo. Zero point zero chance of that happening. And if its hazing and it happening with the coach, then maybe the super and principle should resign, because its probably not the first time so you hired him anyways? NOT. The hc had a run, won state...MOVE ON. They dont want you there. You are going to get another job, YOU WON STATE. |

www.post-gazette.com/sports/high-school-football/2021/04/15/Pine-Richland-Eric-Kasperowicz-fired-bullying-hazing-allegations/stories/202104150202More in this article. The parent of the player who was "hazed" says it's all BS and they are using them to pursue their ouster of the coach. At this point there would be two options: Get rid of super and bring back coach, you can't have them both back if they do re-hire coach now he is more powerful than the super and board. They can't co-exist now. Imagine the microscope you would be under coming back with the same admin. Coach isn't re-hired and moves on. Kids saying they won't play if he isn't back but I am sure come July with a new coach and 95% of those kids will be on the field for summer workouts.

Seen a couple coach-admin power struggles, it never ends well. For anyone involved who really cares, meaning the coach, players, and parents.
That's my experience. Power-hungry admins or not ... it rarely ends well for the football program and community in these situations. Western PA is football crazy, so I'm sure there is a lot of passion and energy on both sides.

The hc had a run, won state...MOVE ON. They dont want you there. You are going to get another job, YOU WON STATE. You have no idea if hazing took place or not, just like the rest of us don't. And no, they don't have to prove whatever all you think they have to define and prove. Hazing of any type will get you fired. Period. It is one of those areas where you must make it clear that you won't tolerate hazing and where you must do the best you can to supervise. No, you don't have to sit in the locker room with them--but you better at least have coaches walk through---and you'd better have coaches stop anything that begins to cross the line into hazing. Never forget--it's a school setting. Lack of supervision is always going to be a problem, and if stuff is going on in your locker room, you better have a good supervision answer. Now, this may all be just a power struggle of some sort and nothing really happened, in which case the guy does need to just leave. He can't win this one. |
