I really hate this for Matt. He's a Tech guy and will make somebody a great coach.

the whole thing is odd isn't it? I know the Caldwell folks are smiling just a little however. Im sure they hope to get two of their star players back.Originally Posted by maddawg
Very strange. Matt was going to have a tough year at Caldwell this year with the loss of key players. I was told that they painted a picture at CENLA of them being committed to become the next ECU/Calvary/Parkview Baptist. Actually had a "plan" in place. Something blew up on them. Just guessing, but I'd say he upset the wrong Church Elder$.
I don't know anything but what I read today in the paper. Without knowing more, it sounds like more of the same in the thread about hitting a player's helment. If "they" are successful in feminizing football, we are sunk.
I'm not trying to justify the dismissals, and I'm not trying to "eat one of our own", but it sounds like Matt's ego was too big for his own good. According to his quote about being "one ego couldn't deal with another" in a clash of egos, surely he had to be smart enough to know who would win that battle. Apparently, there was some ongoing conflict in order for him to assume it was about the egos.
Just heard at lunch today that Preacher Dickens had an eighth grade son who was going to be a great QB someday (according to the Preacher of course). The person telling me this said that Preacher Dickens felt the need to stay on the sidelines during games and "help" coach. If this is true, I can see where the egos may have clashed.
yep...the whole thing seems pretty weird...from inception to date.

I hate it as well! Unfortunately, it seems Cenla Christian Academy is following in similar steps as LA College in the past few years. It boils down to a HUGE power struggle of egosWord here in A-town on the street is that the "curse words" used were something along the lines of moron and idiot. Although I don't agree with name-calling, I understand coaching (I've raise 3 sons who have all played athletics). It's a real shame for these coaches AND the players of this new school. I don't think they are off to a very good start if they hope to recruit for their school (either academically or athletically) if this is the kind of legalism they promote. I am disappointed.
Y'all be sure to check out Bret's blog on the topic. It's pretty good stuff.

Here's my take...
The stated reason for Matt's dismissal was a difference in coaching philosophies. Fine. Who hired him? If Pastor Lombardi wanted a coach with a certain philosophy, they should've talked about philosophy in the interview process. I think Pastor Ditka should honor the contract.

I've been involved with small private schools off and on for much of my life. This kind of behavior --by this "pastor"-- is absolutely PAR for the course. This kind of nonsense and "infighting" is very prevalent in small, private, christian schools. People get very, very petty in these environments.

Sad, but so true.
CCA got absolutely slaughtered today. 53-7 or something.

How many players showed up for the game?? White and Company said that only 14 showed up for practice yesterday.
