Colorado Coach Diary Days

Day 1
I cannot believe we finally arrived in Colorado. This is the most difficult part of my life I will ever experience. Thankfully, my three boys Josh, Jake, and Jaiden are all doing well with the move from inner city Chicago. The neighbors in North Colorado Springs have helped immensely along with the school administrators and teachers. Josh
I cannot believe we finally arrived in Colorado. This is the most difficult part of my life I will ever experience. Thankfully, my three boys Josh, Jake, and Jaiden are all doing well with the move from inner city Chicago. The neighbors in North Colorado Springs have helped immensely along with the school administrators and teachers. Josh just turned 5, Jake is 3 and Jaiden 1. Josh starts kindergarten tomorrow in District 38 at a Charter School – tough to enroll especially if you do not know the environment or have a family history. We are completely unknown with a relatively new house purchased from the bank under a foreclosure sale. Everything on the house was completed including landscaping.

I received a call from an assistant coach in Denver who removed himself from the Denver Cherry Creek High School coaching squad due to an incident with a girls track team. He is an excellent and renown coach in many high school sports. A female track star accused him of discrimination and playing favorites after she was removed from a relay team.

The team meeting with the parents is tonight. Everyone is anxious. Despite our team winning the Illinois state championship last year, there was no media surrounding practices or team meetings. We were unknown and just played football at Manion High School in inner city Chicago. There are many days I wish I was there and coaching football
The team meeting with the parents is tonight. Everyone is anxious. Despite our team winning the Illinois state championship last year, there was no media surrounding practices or team meetings. We were unknown and just played football at Manion High School in inner city Chicago. There are many days I wish I was there and coaching football again. Sadly, I left after a 5A championship high school football run. Most people questioned the move – especially after Janae’s untimely death. I told the Chicago Tribune the absolute truth about the Colorado sojourn. Chicago is over and I need to move on.
