The message they're sending is success....but not at any price. Success doesn't have to involve humiliation

No it isn't. The message the school has sent out is if you're too successful you'll get fired.

I sure hope those straight A kids in that school take this to heart or they'll be kicked out of school for continuing that straight A grade stuff. This'll teach 'em.

The coach was fired so he could fully represent his view on the game. He should be thankful to the school for gaving given him this opportunity.

“In reporting the firing, Kyle Queal, Covenant’s head of school, emphasized that former coach Micah Grimes “now only represents himself” when discussing the game, which has become a national talking point. Queal said he could not say whether the firing was a direct result of the posting and declined to answer any questions.”

LOL, he was fired for being stupid....twice.

Perhaps those students will learn something the leagues organizers failed to understand and implement for their league: the concept of mercy.

While I believe the coach showed a lack of class, he should not have been dismissed. For everything we do in our lives, win or lose, we can learn a lesson. Coach's lesson could have been learned from a school administration less concerned by appearances and more by Christian/religious values.

I seem to recall a message of Christian mercy to the unmerciful.
