Advocate reporting Brandon Lawley resigned yesterday. There has to be more to this story than being reported

I still find it completely nuts that a guy who I played little league ball with was a head coach at a 5A school. I mean hell, I just turned 30 this year.

he actually did a decent job. They were 0 and 20 the two previous seasons. His first season he brought them to 5-5 and his second to 7-3. With that success, the stadium rebuild and turf, along with a new school maybe they will be able to attract someone decent.

I had him when he was a student teacher at WestSide Junior High. He's a good dude but a no bull shite kind of guy and can come across as pretty mean. I don't think he would be forced to leave for this reason. It does seem interesting.

Well a 30 year old is now an NFL head coach as well.

His out of district scheduling had a lot to do with that. Scheduled teams he knew they could easily beat. In 2 years they only won 2 district games

Him resigning had nothing to do with coaching. He was a bad teacher. And LP IS STRICT on classroom teaching

I'm curious as to what he taught. I find it surprising that he was teaching a rigorous academic schedule being a head coach at a 5A school.

Might be a bit of an arse hole. Definitely seems that way when watching them play. I think he even got restricted to coaching from the press box for a game or 2.

They beat denham by like 8 touchdowns

All 3 regular season losses this year were by 6 points or less.

That's only in 2 seasons at Walker as HC. Only a fool would think that guy isn't a damn good coach.
