So, what happened? Very odd that three guys all at once quit that staff.
Who can pony up on the story? |

I guess when you get so close and don't win the big one, you're out!
No... seriously... where did you hear this? It's news to me. |

He steped down because "personal reasons" and "i have been thinking about this for a while now". he also said that he no longer feels that
the rewards are worth the time, and he just lost the drive and intensity to coach

no, no, no. the team loved him and he loved the team, its just he's lost the fire to coach.

However, I suspect that there was some contributing factor. Parents of players, the Principal, and the AD are possible areas of conflict with any head coach. It just seems odd that after his two best seasons ever and with AW coming back for a Senior year, that he and two key assistants would all three simultaneously lose the fire to coach. I read the Observer story (as you seemingly did as well), and I understand the provided statement and provided reasoning. But it just seems like there is more to it. |

to be honest, even the players dont even know all that is going on. but some of the speculation is that with gabel out, Shaw might decide to apply to Howell
(his hometown team), and Newman (whose best friend is Gabel), would like to focus on his current family.
I do know a side note, that Nichols, who is currently a Baseball Assistant at SHS, and was the SLHS Def. Cord. last year, applied for the head coaching job. |
