Rebel Bert Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Shaw fired their entire coaching staff after onfield fight by Shaw players. All operations are shut down until investigation is completed. Eric Henry named interim coach. Rosa Fort was leading 24-0 @ halftime. Game was called.

They must have been looking for a reason to get rid of the Shaw coaches. Something definitely seems fishy about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Bert Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 It was reported as Shaw. Apparently some up north are still using the old name. I am sure the refs had to separate and follow protocol at the point of separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us up north are using the old name cuz it’s been changed again this year and actually no the refs didn’t have to separate anyone. The head coach went up to the refs and asked for the game to be called. This is why I won’t speak on things until everything comes out because of rumors like this but I will speak on things I know and saw.

IRONEagle Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) This matter doesn’t do justice to what has transpired in the WBCSD since the consolidation. This time, it just is impacting Shaw and this current leadership decided to take it upon themselves (one person) to bring attention to a termination that if proven to be warranted, was suppose to be conducted behind the scenes. I have told people for years about the constant lack of unfairness, professionalism, and excessive greed I’ve seen occur in this district behind close doors from the administration. These school communities are really in a state of emergency in the WBCSD. I received backlash when I spoke on the way these extreme decisions would not only sabotage West Bolivar athletics but the entire district. People laughed and mocked West Bolivar on here and talked as if it was an anomaly. They would discredit WB and say there was no talent left and many other negative things about the football program. Two games into the season for Shaw and based on the outcomes of the performances the district administration makes a punitive decision to fire an entire coaching staff. What about the last 7 years at West Bolivar High that our student athletes have had to endure and suffer through? This kind of stuff is a result of internal systemic failure that has gone unchecked and has infested the core. It goes beyond the football field. They (Jackson) has to clean the entire ship now and start over. Edited September 8, 2023 by IRONEagle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroontide06 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Regardless of what has occurred here, how do you go from a termination of a whole coaching staff during the active part of the football season to having the interim coach already in place that quickly? That's less than a 16 hour turnaround there. Seems just bizarre to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Technically it was a 45 minute turnaround so def seems like there was a contingency plan in place waiting on something like this but again we’ll see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky6617 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The delta schools have got to get some good leadership established. There is a ton of tradition and talent that’s getting tarnished and overlooked because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Bert Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 So who teaches these classes with coaches fired. Admin failed to think this through or do they have classroom/hallway, practice problems going on. Maybe so and maybe the coaches have already been given one last chance. Maybe the coach was fed up with it and that's why he asked for the game to be called. Who knows? The truth lies in Shaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWammies, I check in with the community and do what is necessary to support as many people as possible that truly seek out advice. They will eventually try to backtrack and keep the real issues sealed. I can say 100% that this kind of stuff has plagued the Rosedale area community in this consolidation for years. No matter who the coach is in Shaw during this year or the foreseeable future the systemic failure at the top of the administration will have a lasting impact on athletics and academics.
