Well of course JB is on his side. He let his brother attack and intimidate other students on the team.

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...

The guy is in studio with Murph and Andy. He's not hiding that's for sure.
Can you explain which part a group of independant investigators were confirmed by multiple sources including his own high school players and coaches were made up Tom???
I agree with this 100%

Yeah I'm getting annoyed by all the post about "how this will kill coaching and they can't make people run.. ect ect"
I understand why people are coming to that conclusion but it's not really about that. I've known about some of these things for nearly 10 years from people in coaching and players. The district has wanted him out for awhile he just finally gave them something to push it far enough to a hearing. Also people are afraid of this guy. A lot more people would come forward about things with him but they are actually fearfull of him. That's the way he controls - intimidate and bully. Sure, many coaches have a little bully in them; However he is 95% that way and its just too much.
Away from the field I think he is not that bad but when he gets near anywhere near football he loses all perspective and he isn't the first nor last coach to have that problem.

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 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.

It didn't change my mind about anything, but it did shine some light on how difficult it is to maintain a successful program at Lincoln.

If that's true, I think he was getting paid too much to coach high school football.

Surprised he wasn't on WHO, the home of angry white males everywhere.
He was paid $6200 a year. He owns his own company. Again, he made me pancakes. Pancakes with chocolate chips. And love.

As someone who has coached multiple sports at a 3A school for 27 years..... it's not surprising how many of these 'situations' (someone doing things they just shouldn't) - are from coaches who are teachers. There is a difference between those who are in the classroom everyday and those who are not.
That being said - DM Lincoln is the 2nd largest high school in the state and there is not 1 person in the entire building that
1) either wants to be a Head Football Coach
or
2) has the ability to be a Head Football Coach.
Not Good....
