    That's why I had a sticking tongue out emoticon  I figured you were being sarcastic. Something like this just really irritates me, the Potter guy reminds me of the Stapler guy in The Office.... you'd have to scroll down through the comments to understand what I mean, I think someone posted an actual image of the Potter guy.

     

    Oh, I agree  - sarcasm is hard to read on the intarwebz

          Dude their FB page is blowing up,, I am surprised St. Greg's FB hasn't been locked yet lol.  Again, I would love for my son to be coached by such a great athlete... this Potter wacko is off his rocker and on some sort of power craze, someone mentioned on their page that earlier this year he fired another athletic coach for no reason.

            haha the last thing any school or administration wants is for something like this to hit the news and mainstream social media.  To them I say good luck dealing with that mess.  Big grin

                The track coach at DD's alma mater will not be returning next year.  I wonder if coach Aguero would like to move to PA and coach a DIII team?

                  Somebody should holler at him, at least he'd be closer to Boston Smile

                    This is a really strange story.  Wow.

                    Short term goal: 17:59 5K

                    Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

                    Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

                      Aguero will probably get quite the nice job now because of this.  But the real problem is the damage that Potter has done to the school.  That was a great coach who did great things for the school that he just fired.  Total tool!

                       

                      Yes, and yes.
