(S28) PT 4 - Back to School

[IceBear32]

Hometown hero takes the reigns! David was nothing short of a superstar in his high school football days. He lead Angola to back to back to back, sectional championships. Something that the school had never seen done before. Now he was looking to repeat and increase his success but this time from the sideline. David had been such a valuable part of this program’s history that when a vacancy for the head coach position came up and the school caught word that David had interest, the job was all but his. This came with its pro and cons. David had full support of the Athletic department without any questioning or second guessing. With this though set an exceedingly high bar for the program.

David struggled with the program and his players. As a gifted athlete David could not understand why some things came so hard for players. This created such a communication gap in is players. He was always so self-driven so again when a player wasn’t giving a hundred percent, he just couldn’t connect the wires. Unfortunately, the program realized they quickly had to make a tough decision. A still loved icon in the community would have to be let go because the wins just weren’t there. The fans hoping David would be able to recreate his championship era have been continuously disappointed. For David, his perfect picture view the city had of him now will include an asterisk of his coaching career.
