Scott names Jake Owens Head Coach - Owens resigned

[Jumper_Dad]

Jay Cobb resigned at Somerset the week before the season started back in 09, due to a dispute with administration. They went 14-1 without him. Scott needs to move on to an interim coach that will put the players first and worry about permanent hire after the season.

Yep. Folks shouldn’t be so quick to judge. There are things more important than high school football.

I don't disagree with either of you, but have we gotten an explanation for why Coach Owens resigned yet?

They need to hire Nelson Perrin he loves those kids and has been coaching for years.

Has the coach came out and said it was a family issue?

To anyone who he needed to, yes.

And for what it’s worth, I’ve heard nothing but great things about Coach Owens, and that he was making a positive impact and had things heading in the right direction.

Who becomes interim here? Durstock run it for the year?

3 weeks before the season is crazy, I say let these kids decide if they want to have a season or allow everyone the opportunity to transfer.

Was Owens coaching the team all by himself?
