Did our blog play a role in coaching firings?


What role did the blog play in former Bishop Amat coach Mark Verti deciding to resign last season?

After last week’s column in which I talked about the large number of coaches getting fired, I received a voice mail from an area coach I don’t need to identify, but he said our blog plays a large role in what’s happening, because the perception that it creates with reader comments. I haven’t met one football coach who has told me they like the blog, but I know they all read it, and they’re aware of what’s being said. Does it play a role in what’s happening? If we never had a blog, would Greg Hoyd still be at Wilson, would Damien have kept Scott Morrison? How about Wardell Crutchfield? I think there is a lot of truth to what the coach said on that voice mail, and he’s right, we play a role in the process. Maybe a bigger role that I imagined, but what are we gonna do, blogs and the internet aren’t going anywhere.
