If you were a highschool AD?

Would you hire the coach who was recently found not guilty of killing one of his players? The question is complicated, what if he had a loosing record? What if he had a winning record? What if he had won your school multiple championships?

I ask because this is a topic of recent discussion.
What would it take for you to hire this guy as your head coach?

However, his name has already been smeared through the mud and I hate it for him. He was just doing his job and unfortunately a kid died. It wasn't like he was brutally punishing them. Some players on the team said that they just had to run a few more gassers than usual. Hopefully he can start coaching again and get his life back to normal.</p>

even if the guy could coach his *** off, I don't want my job as AD to be made harder by having to answer questions and concerns of family, friends of players every time a kids throws up at practice.

This is a case of the parent feeling somewhat responsible and wanting the courts to put the blame on someone one else.

Is that being hard? Who cares. THe coach just went thur some needless hell.

it sucks because he could be a great guy and a hell of a coach, but the last thing you want is all your players parents yelling at you about putting their kids on the field with a murderer.
Could you imagine the fallout if it happened to the guy at a new school?

I think Vandy had one about 10 years ago.

Given that there is a civil suit outstanding, it would consume so much time and be a distraction that his hiring would be a bad thing for the school.
