Good, I hope they win.
A quick question for you, when did you finally get off of the WT train?If this were the other way around and coach was black and filing a lawsuit for the same reasons I have a feeling the sentiment would be different among some of our Warchant posters. First thing that would be screamed is why is the race card being pulled. We get fired all the time for reasons unknown. Just know that.
YawnDo you normally say that about a lawsuit like this or is this one different for you?
Not from this poster, I'd feel the EXACT same way.If this were the other way around and coach was black and filing a lawsuit for the same reasons I have a feeling the sentiment would be different among some of our Warchant posters.

Not true at all. The majority of the current team, and past team members, both black and white, showed up at the meetings and voiced their support for him. They even made a video titled “Bring Back Rod”. He carried a lot of those boys to doctors appointments and to church on Sunday. I didn’t always agree with some of his play calling, but this man isn’t a racist. Now the five board members on the other hand.....I heard that the Coach was verbally abusive to black players. I have no idea if this is true, but it might explain why black school board members wanted him out.
Yeah. This confused me. It reads like she’s the plaintiff.Why isn't the coach suing? How does the wife have standing ? Or did WCTV just screw up the story? I can't see the suit papers that supposedly were attached.
Maybe she's a lawyer?
Is this routine for a school board to fire a coach, or is this a Valdosta thing? I would think that the football coach works for the principal and it would be up to him/her to do the firing.Not true at all.

That sounds like a marriage thing, to me.Yeah. This confused me. It reads like she’s the plaintiff.
Unless she’s got a pendant claim like loss of consortium, only he can file it. And if she files she can’t seek his damages, only hers if they exist.That sounds like a marriage thing, to me.
Husband: "I'm NOT suing the school or the school board!"
Wife: "Well, then I'LL sue the school and school board!"
Husband: "Whatever."
Also, odd question on "standing." I know you can't be required to testify against your spouse. Is the reciprocal of that idea that you can be a plaintiff on behalf of your spouse without them being a party to the formal complaint?
High school football in these small towns in the south is a whole different thing. I find it utterly insane myself.Is this routine for a school board to fire a coach, or is this a Valdosta thing?

Doesn’t the school board cover multiple high schools? So how does that work?In our county school system, all hire/fire decisions are made y the school board.
Wouldn't her damages include 50% of his income under a standard distribution of marital assets?Unless she’s got a pendant claim like loss of consortium, only he can file it. And if she files she can’t seek his damages, only hers if they exist.
Liberty County, smalled school system in Florida. One HS.Doesn’t the school board cover multiple high schools? So how does that work?
No. Not from a lawsuit perspective. If he won it the money would be marital but that doesn’t give her standing. Only he can bring his claim, unless he’s incompetent or something.Wouldn't her damages include 50% of his income under a standard distribution of marital assets?
It just seems weird that a new board can come in and fire any employee who is performing to a high standard. It would be different if they came in and set a new standard and then fired employees who were not able to achieve it.
Who else could they fire? A principle in good standing, any teacher they didn’t like? Businesses have to show cause, or in the case of a RIF, how they choose the employees to let go to insure everyone was treated fairly.
