Why would you say that? Seemed like a mutually beneficial relationship. Big loss for the Dukes. They might be back down to perennial 6th place finishers in the WSS.
Because I asked someone in the know why he left, and that was one of the reasons.
My thoughts exactly as well. Losing a pension too.
Pensions isn't until 67 now if you started after 2010.
Not even remotely true. Fabricated. Beloved by the Dukes faithful and while we’re sorry to see him go, we wish him all the best. Class act.
Just because you and others liked him, doesn't mean that issues did not exist. For example, after the GBW game with a parent on the field.
At what point does a parent have ANY say in anything to do with a high school athletic program. They don’t have a voice, nor should they unless there is abuse, etc.
Like 99% of the "non-abuse" cases, I'm sure it's something regarding "why isn't my kid playing!", or "why aren't you using my kid correctly!"
Then how is what I'm saying fabricated and untrue? You've made a very confusing about face
Those are complaints that get made on teams that don't win! York was one of the few teams in the State that could play with the likes of Loyola and they were better than pretty much all the Catholic League teams with exception of Loyola and probably Mt Carmel (Look at what they did to Naz). If the parents truly did chase him out they should be ashamed of themselves. It's not easy to find a good HS coach. It's a monster of a commitment and for a reward they get a minimal stipend above their teacher's salary and never ending criticism from parents who think they know everything because they played HS football 30 years ago.
Go ask the Hinsdale Central girls basketball coach and assistants who left mid season this year.
You would think, but there are always "those parents". I guess as a coach, you just hope their numbers are small.
The parents didn't force him out. There was one issue after the GBW game and the parent wasn't on the field but over the railing screaming about his kid not getting the ball. That kid is graduating. Parent was drunk, apologized two days later. End of story. Witnessed it myself.
Love the Spring Inn! They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Thinking it's only one block from Spring Inn to York football field is exactly the type of thing someone thinks after a couple hours at Spring Inn lol
I meant the establishment in question was only a block north of Spring Inn
In my opinion, it’s an AD and Superintendent’s job to keep parents in line and take control of their athletic programs. I’m not familiar with Hinsdale Central but doesn’t surprise me they canned the Superintendent.
Ah, gotcha! You could start the crawl at Spring Inn and hit up at least 4 spots these days!
I would be surprised if he makes as much at Marist compared to York. And a public school teacher's pension is typically quite a bit more than social security. And you can still get a partial pension if you don't teach for 30+ years. Returning to Marist wasn't about the money.
