Today I made the decision to resign my coaching position. I'm saddened, but it was the correct choice. There were many issues that piled up over the past couple of years to create a mountain too high. We is always better than me and I decided that my personal feelings about these issues should not become a hindrance to the development of a good culture within the program. This is not an official resignation as I have not submitted my letter to the Superintendent and BOE (I need a couple of days to store stuff from my Google Drive so I don't lose them!). I had a face-to-face with the HC last week and let him know, today, of my intentions. It's a sad day. I've been a football coach for 24 years. I wish I could affect the changes needed to keep guys like me around, but that isn't in my power and I don't want to create a warzone for everyone else. I would like to express that this has nothing to do with our HC or my relationship with him. I consider him a friend and he's been nothing but supportive in my time, nearly a decade, in my current post.
God will open another door if He wants me to remain in athletics.
Sorry for the rant, but had to get that off my chest.
I wish you much success Chief. When you let go and let God run the show it always seems to turn out even better than you could have imagined. That has always happened to me in my career.

I hate to hear this, but I am a firm believer that when one door closes, God opens another for us. We only have to look for it. Good things happen to good people.
I've been wanting OKC to build a football stadium for decades now. We built the Ford Center before we had an NBA team. Time to build a football stadium to attract pro football and maybe host an OU game every year. Use it for concerts with big name bands in the off season.
It would NOT convince me to go watch a soccer game, however.
