Thats clearly a super biased story. Anyone have one more straight forward?

It seems odd to me that there are two, and only two, people that make comments about him being racist. Then supposedly the whole team and alumni and parents etc say no that’s not true, yet he still says he’s “frustrated” and decides to leave.
It seems to me that there is something deeper that is not being told. Even if he’s unsatisfied with the current political climate, it makes no sense to quit his job mid year because of two accusations

Ya think?
Awww, poor Doug Soles, being accused of being a racist. I guess it's impossible for him to be a racist because he coached Destiny Collins A BLACK WOMAN as the article so clearly points out. Is that like "I can't be a racist because I have a black friend?"
Anyone of color that has ever met Doug Soles, and I'm not talking teachers, administrators, students or kids on his team, I'm talking about just anyone off the street; they will tell you that if he's not a racist, he sure does act like one.
As for him being this super coach, he has burned out more good athletes than he has created opportunities for. The list of kids that he burned out is long and distinguished. Running his top girls 70 miles a week just so they can compete at the highest level and then when they go to college, there is no where to grow. Assuming they even make it through the season, they got nothing left at the next level. With an enrollment of 3,100 to choose from and a legacy that people want to be a part of, there is no shortage or warm bodies for him to burn through.
Soles, pack your s##t and...
Wait for it..

Gotta keep the parents happy if you're a coach... Not that hard!
Are you the guy who's making up all of the allegations against him? Because you sure sound like you are.
Articles mentioned the coaches did not receive support from community... doesn’t add up with the post you see from former athletes. Accusations might be baseless, or he is getting out before his name is completely ruined.
They are leaving because he is protecting his family, the 2 accusing men are harrassing his family, and they have been harrassing and smearing other kids on the team with fake stories to try to bolster their own hissy-fit, it is very frightening. This isn't about politics, but safety of the family.
The 2 men that are trying to get him fired have been threatening his family on social media, so the coach is leaving to protect his family, the 2 men have also been harrassing and smearing other young kids on the team to advance their agenda, they are out for blood
What about the money? Was selling the free Nike gear putting money in his pocket or the program?
He has massive support from the community. Trust me.
The money is for fundraising, trust me, there are better ways to rip off people than making them buy some Pegasus shoes and Nike shirts, nobody is forced to buy any gear from the team. Do you think he's the wolf on wall street or something? Looks like everyone's in the mood of getting their righteous money since this GamesStop stuff happened
you sound like an absolute POS, grow a PAIR. you’re obviously the weak little dad that’s been accusing him of stuff. soles has created one of the best high school XC powerhouses EVER. shut up with the baseless claims, kids came to his defense and not one said that he was racist. you sound like a little girl who didn’t get her way. grow up

So let's see if I got this right.
Two guys, that everyone knows, are openly threatening him and his family to the point that he fears for their life, yet he hasn't called the police and these 2 people have not been arrested. He has massive support from the community while simultaneously complaining that people don't have his back. I keep hearing about these "baseless claims" against him, but no one knows if they are baseless The only evidence presented is that he has coached black people and Hispanic people therefore he cannot be a racist. How do we know he's not a racist, because he says so? If they are baseless and he has massive community support and his athletes love him, and these 2 guys are openly committing crimes, why is he running away like a little *****?
Inquiring minds want to know.
non registered poster accuses someone of racism without any evidence whatsoever?
then complains he coaches them so well that the next coach cant improve them ('no where to grow').
without any other knowledge, i can see what mr Soles' problem is.

Gary, you called him a racist in the other thread.
This is all too easy.
Coach picks one girl / boy / unicorn before another girl / boy / unicorn.
Unicorn claims ***ist and sues. organisation knows it will be picked up on and so settles - leaving the coach found 'guilty' by default. coach cannot defend himself.
what needs to happen is that the organisation needs to know that there is a bigger penalty for failing to defend their employee.
furthermore, the buck is stopping in the wrong place. the spineless employer letting the coach get the rap needs to understand he employed the coach and therefore he is to blame and he needs to take more responsibility. he cant just blame the coach and let the insurance company pay. always someone elses money and problem.
Well, here are your 2 problems:
1) I didn't call him a racist. I quote:"I'm talking about just anyone off the street; they will tell you that if he's not a racist, he sure does act like one."
2) My name isn't Gary, I don't know who Gary is and you just slandered Gary.
Even if some of this is true (many people in this age are deemed insensitive, unaware of privilege and all that), even if he burned out many of his athletes ( many coaches are accused of this in the pursuit of excellence) is this a reason to threaten his family?
Sick coward.
Where are these people of color? All I hear is an anonymous internet punk making libelous accusations without citing any credible evidence. I'm with the posters that think you are the sad little father with an axe to grind.
