Dear St John The Baptist Parish School Board- GROW A PAIR -East St John's Coach Resigns

Please St John The Baptist School board members go to the LSU Football operation office at and ask to borrow part of Les Miles's anatomy for a few days.

I touched on this earlier today at Louisiana White Football Coach Racist or Honest? . See the link there Is coach racist or just honest?.

Well now it appears he "resigned".

One could make an argument he should have been more slightly diplomatic. However what he said is not different than what countless Coaches white and black in High school and in college have said. Often in those same blunt terms. Really do I need to get the quotes?

However the coach committed a cardinal sin. That is exposing the communities dirty laundry in public. Though the effects of what is he is talking about is on the front page everyday.

However because he was honest he gets fired (ok he "resigns") . SAD!!

It appears this man had a vocation in life that did not include Coaching at the well to do Schools of Jesuit and Episcopal and public High Schools like Byrd.

Who loses? His players. But at least no one shall be upset.

I love this quote from the above link:
Well, now that Dauterive has resigned, the greater Reserve area can rest easy, knowing that a racist is gone. Come on! The man brought respect, pride, and glory to a pretty impovershed area! Those young men he helped get into college will be better people because of him! The sad part is, now East St. John H.S. will now become just a dot on the map. Unless they have the next Jim Brown or Drew Brees, the colleges won't be stopping there, like they did when Dauterive was coach. He knew talent and worked to get those kids a chance.

Sorry kids. The failure of adults in the communty both Govt, Civic and Church must be covered up. That is a higher priority.

  1. Shades of Juan Williams. To even mention race in public seems to put your job in jeopardy.
