Soles will resign at Great Oak and leave California

Also Noble leaving too apparently?

Wow the future seasons are gonna be interesting with different coaches.

Great Oak is DONE. Shame to see because the Newbury Park/GO rivalry would have been interesting to watch in the coming years.

What would be better would be for people to not overglorify high school running so that these kids don’t get burned out

While I do understand your point, most high school runners will never race again after graduation. Let them grab their bit of glory while they can.

Reminds me of this...

Funny, I looked through his Twitter and other social media accounts and I didn't see any political posts anywhere. Where did people get the impression that he was a big Trumpie?

You have not been paying attention. He's was very open about his support of trump. Twitter is not the only form of communication.

Sounds like he’s royally pissed with the idiots comment

"We will move somewhere that is a better fit for our family, and somewhere that we can all feel safe again."

LOL at Trumpers and their safe spaces.

So because of a man’s political beliefs, he has been attacked and photos of his entire family have been posted by an angry, cowardly, parent, suggesting that BLM “watch him”.

Congratulations on taking down an amazing man who gave everything he had to his student/athletes; students of all color, that is.

His family was attacked via social media and an angry, small-minded, dad. This coward also posted pictures of Soles entire family and has asked his BLM cronies to “watch him”.

The amount of hate this man and his family are getting is being generated by only one or two cowardly “men”. Meanwhile there are thousands that greatly appreciate him (and Coach Noble) for all they have done to all all kids if all races.

Pathetic society we live in these days.

Sounds like a disgruntled former asst. coach who wanted to be head honcho or a parent pissed their kid wasn't the star

No evidence of inappropriate conduct from Soles in regards to discrimination.

Yeah the horror of someone being attacked for their views of civil rights...reminds of of a certain movement in the 50s and 60s...the name is escaping me at the moment.

there's email from Isaac Cortes and other athletes completely disagreeing with all of this.

in fact, he SPECIFICALLY cites that african american top athletes Solomon Fountain and Destiny Collins were LIBERALS, yet got along well with Mr Soles who is CONSERVATIVE.

so no, its not a political issue, nor does it seem to be a racial one, if these former athletes / people of color with opposing political views, had no problem with Soles

this does seem like the definition of a character assassination

What, specifically, are those views? Please inform me. Actual quotes or actions from the coach in question would be helpful.

There was a time in this country when people kept their politics, religion, and finances to themselves. You would maybe speak with your closest friends and confidants about such things but otherwise these topics were kept in-house.

The only person here who sounds mentally deficient, and incredibly juvenile is you. It's too bad that you're jealous of the man's success. Best of luck to him and hopefully he signs the recall petition of our crayon eating excuse for a Governor before he leaves.

If true, that was when both major parties were committed to democracy.

You are sick. I hate Trump as much as anyone but that is no reason for him to lose his job.
