The real account is the story. HE JUST GOT FIRED!!
The Ghost of Doug Speck rises, which to me means he did not learn a thing from his earlier transgressions. BTW, I only suggested give him all positions or get rid of him. The administration obviously felt getting rid of him was the right choice. I also feel giving him full control would have been a choice, but that would have been unfair to Schultz and Landis.
Yes, because the administration obviously put the wants of the student body at the forefront of all the choices they make right?
There's not a lot we can do for O'Brien at this point but one thing that we're not going to stand for is people running their mouths and accusing him of negative things that he didn't do.
You say that he didn't see eye-to-eye with the other coaches. That's correct.
You also say that he didn't keep his athletes' best interests in mind. When you say that, you're lying through your teeth.
It was because he was trying to do what he thought was best FOR his runners that he was fired.
In case you don't know, Schultz treats distance runners like crap. He doesn't care about our workouts, rarely pays attention to us at all, and doesn't even bother trying to remember our names. You think we want to run for a coach like that?
You call the distance runners out on quitting Track because "You only have high school memories once". You're right about the memories. But let me ask you. Would you really want to remember 4 years running for a jerk who doesn't even bother watching you run in a meet? I sure don't. I'd much rather spend my 4 years running for a coach who's giving me feedback the whole way through and giving everything he's got to make me a better runner.
