Re: Video sent to MSHSL
Hey PH, hopefully they didn't get that video mixed up with a video from Spudnut's library and sent the wrong onePotatohead9 wrote:Moorhead has sent an official complaint and video to the MSHSL of the Spud game in Brainerd.
Does anyone else know how often this happens?

Would be a nice change of events if someone chased out the wacko parents for a change, eh ?Syd Barrett wrote:Well said blueliner I couldn't agree moreblueline1 wrote:Pretty crappy way that this was handled.

Rumors have swirled over the last year that he might leave the program due to that very thing right there, he wants to see his son play more at the next level, its only a rumor though so take it with a grain of salt.roadtrip wrote:No Josh is his youngest.

This thread was started by a Spud fan and most of the negative posts are not Brainerd fans.Jackpinesavage wrote:So the first 2 pages are what a horrible environment the coach leads and when the school gets rid of him it's the politics and parents? I have no ax to grind here but does anyone else see this as a little strange?

Re: It is not over till it is over
While the process may not be over yet, non-renewal by the school board is not a good start. It is extremely difficult to reverse such a decision, and even if one is successful, the process usually comes with a strong dose of ill-will, within the community. At times the end result isn't worth the fight. The East situation is one of the few examples of overcoming a non-renewal, and that took time. Am guessing there were a number of damaged relationships, too.Skip_per wrote:The process is not over yet............... please be patient and lets hold our opinions.

So far these posts give the impression that Brainerd fans love their coach and are shocked at the school board's decision. Maybe that's true for a few, but there are a lot of people hoping the school board will stick with their decision. No one can argue that he has passion, has given a lot of time, and has even done some great things for the program. Those things are overshadowed, however, by the culture of fear he created. This isn't about "wacko" parents whining about playing time or whatever. Kids have been damaged. Sometimes a coach really does need to go.
