He said he was told the program needed to go in a new direction.
apparently the school frowns on winning state titles

they've hired former LSU star Todd Walker, who has no coaching experience

Not surprising.

I'm sure most schools in this area would fire their coach immediately if Todd said he wanted to coach.

3 titles in 6 years. That's only 50% of the time.

Just think if you got hit with a bag of shite every other time you walked out of your house, that would suck right?

Jesuit did the same thing a few years ago with Dozier.

Granted, he was a terrible coach who solely won due to Jesuit's talented roster.

Very questionable firings this year. Wonder if he'll jump to Loyola since they let Gilliam go(which was also weird).

3 State Championships in 6 years and you get rid of him for a coach that has no experience. Makes no sense, but then I saw a Booty was AD.

Loyola also fired basketball coach Willie Jackson, who made the playoffs 5 straight years. I heard they are going to hire Billy Thomas.

From what I've heard, It boils down to this....

There is a parent/supporter that donates a ton of $$$$

Traweek didn't kiss that parent/supporter's butt

Traweek gets shown the door

I hate it for Traweek. He is a heck of a coach that gets the best out of kids. He has won at every level he's coached.

He won't be without a job for long with his resume.
