What a piece of trash.  First, you wish that people on the list didn't
learn about this, I suppose because it is better if the AD can act in
secret.  Then, you write that it's "hilarious" that people should care
about another person mistreated in the AD because that person isn't as
prominent as some others.  (I guess you mean secretaries and others we
don't know can be treated in any manner and we shouldn't care because
we didn't know them beforehand.)  Next, you conduct a smear, claiming
that some unnamed parents may have sworn at him and that some unnamed
former players may have wondered if he could do the job (despite the
many public accolades from former parents and players).  Next, you
suggest that there is some basis in his work that led to his dismissal
(without stating any reason and despite that fact that no one involved
has suggested that is the case).  Finally you imply that if he doesn't
file a civil lawsuit (and be happy about suing) that there really must
have been a good reason he was fired.  Where did you study innuendo?
You seem quite accomplished at it.
