Well to the extent that lacrosse took the spotlight away from Prep football, Paro wasn't happy. But he wouldn't do anything to hurt the school and there's a whole lot of people (Alums, etc.) that are interested in the lacrosse program being successful.

In the Fagan years, Prep lacrosse really was the red-headed step child and Giblin had to fight for everything he got. Things were better under Paro only because there was no way to go but up. A lot of kids chose Prep to play lacrosse there which made Admissions happy.. And there for a while, many of the football players at Prep came there to play lacrosse as their primary sport..

The hiring process and the coach that is selected will speak volumes about the direction of the lacrosse program. It's not impossible that GP lax will be a second tier priority.

The story that GP fired the coach makes zero sense. If Paro is still negative on lacrosse, than why fire the coach? It's logically inconsistent. You fire the coach because you are unhappy with the program and the results and you want to bring in somebody better.

People forget (on purpose) that Giblin resigned. He was not fired. He resigned because of a list of demands he had that he didn't feel were being met (Admissions for Lax "recruits" , Financial Aid, etc). Now this wasn't the first time he resigned and he may have been doing this to force the issues. But he did have issues. [/quote]

Yeah, Giblin "resigned" right after an ugly incident at an area bar, no? I think he saw the writing on the wall and took a proactive approach before getting further embarrassed.[/quote]

Wrong!

At least have the decency to get your facts straight before shooting of your mouth. (Not the first time you have heard that, I'll bet.)

Step 1 - Giblin resigned after the season. (He had resigned in previous years, only to be talked back into staying at GPrep.)

Step 2. - A meeting with the new President was scheduled, the purpose of which was to see if things couldn't be smoothed out so that Giblin could remain with the Prep lacrosse program.

Step 3. - There was an incident in a bar. A disgruntled SJC lax coach, who had just been fired felt that Giblin had had a role in it. He, unprovoked, cold-cocked Giblin. That was the extent of the "fight".

Step 4 - The Prep President got wind of the incident and cancelled the meeting with Giblin which effectively meant that this time they were accepting the resignation. The President was probably advised on this by those at Prep who felt the Lacrosse program was too big, too powerful.

Step 5 - The new GP coach --- a parent who stepped in to helped the school --- is reported as "fired" without a single fact to back this up. GP has fired like one coach in thirty years in all sports, so this rport isn't very credible.

Loud mouths with axes to grind and no idea of the facts are a dime a dozen on anonymous message boards.
