Whitman Football Coach Fired

[Anonymous]

Someone knows but for the safety of Pierce, they’re prolly not saying.

[Anonymous]

Any Updates?

[Anonymous]

No updates. I think it's kind of obvious that he's done with the program.

[Anonymous]

if he is done what did he even do? this is so dumb and sad for the team if it was only about yelling at a student? my goodness some of these people would not have lasted a second not in the 70s but the 90s! Why are we so soft?

[Anonymous]

Exactly. Feel bad for the all the kids. Hope they do well in the playoffs.

It's probably not that he was yelling but if he used any of the magic words while he was yelling.

[Anonymous]

I have Whitman student and no one knows that happened.

[Anonymous]

Nobody knowing what happened is very odd

Should a legal defense team fund be started for our coach?

Whitman won last night. Wonder if he comes back this week?

He won’t. His father remains on staff which makes everything even weirder.

Whitman has a new principal who isn't taking any chances and was a former All-American and captain at Villanova and believes coaches should always set positive examples. Any possibly inkling that something should be investigated will be investigated. At the same time, the coach was also a school safety officer and Whitman has been coping with an influx of students who have been kicked out of BCC and other schools, so he may have gotten too aggressive with one of those students. Even though he was high energy and a bit histrionic with his antics, most students and players liked him very much.

What is behind this: "Whitman has been coping with an influx of students who have been kicked out of BCC and other schools"

Why are the students then sent to Whitman?

Whitman is one of five high schools offering SESES, MCPS' Special Ed program for behavioral and emotional support. I don't know if that has something to do with it?

Is this supposed to be a clue? Breadcrumbing us? Was it a student w special needs in the EBD program who made an accusation? Cost the team their coach?

Has the security situation at Whitman worsened since Pierce left? Horrible assault yesterday which has spread all over social media makes me wonder if they need him back. Was it like this before he left?
