Seems like a bad situation for everyone involved. Coach should of known better, but I was holding out hope he'd be reinstated with other forms of punishment. I'll be curious to see if any similar cases pop up going forward using this as a basis. There a lot of disappointed Mihalovich supporters today.
Here's a tweet from Jordan this morning and I'm sure there are a lot of former players who feel the same way.

I've always been a proud Lincoln Alum, but I cannot back them after this. LHS gets no more support or respect. I'm with Coach Mihalovich!
Anyone that is capable of naming an exercise the Chris Street drill gets no sympathy from me. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
guy getting fired for something he did that was common place even 15 years ago.
He didn't. Read the report.
However, I agree with good riddance.
He was fired for lying (repeatedly) to investigators, interfering with the investigation (walking off with the investigator's notes), threatening critics, stealing team equipment after being placed on leave, and ignoring repeated written reprimands over a multi-year period. Was that "commonplace 15 years ago"?
The incident with the kid was maybe 10% of the problem. It was the impetus for the investigation, but you could have thrown it out completely. In fact, the report shows the mother lied. I don't live in Iowa, knew nothing about this going in, and personally favor giving coaches great leeway on discipline including physical discipline... but after reading the report it's obvious this clown would have been fired from any company in America.
Stop being so lazy and read the actual report. He wasn't fired for making a kid run hills.
Any you know that not everything in that report is true right...

Did anyone else listen to the former Coach on Murph and Andy today?
Did it change your opinion on this situation if so how and why?
I listened...still don't care. Just another unemployed South-sider to pay for.

I live on the southside, so I can't argue with that. Definitely a lot of unemployed people over here. However, when it comes to tax dollars, you have to remember that Mihalovich paid for a lot of stuff over the years out of his own pocket. He estimated a little over hundred thousand over 12 years. If that's true, I think he's as entitled to unemployment as the next guy.
For those in the DM area, Mihalovich will be in studio with Murph and Andy at 2 PM today on 1460 KXNO.
If that's true, I think he was getting paid too much to coach high school football.
My gawd, you are dumb. Why must you be this dumb? Again, you know nothing on the situation.Almost as embarrassing as that kids parents...what pussificaiton they must teach in that family
