I think the GREAT thing about this is that the Eagles - thankfully - have a large group of very dedicated men (and women btw) that have devoted a large portion of their lives to the Eagles youth, middle school and HS football programs. Some of those men are on the HS staff currently and I think that will make all of this, ultimately, a lot less painful than it could have been. Definitely a saving grace. 

Best of luck to Coach Owens as he moves forward and most assuredly to the Eagles program, which, I think, will be perfectly fine with those men on the staff taking over and taking care of the program and players.

Nothing new there.

I think there is more to this but it doesn't matter, next coach up. 

Does he leave if Scott is a state title contender?

If Scott was a state title contender the applicants would have been better.

Based on what I’ve heard, yes. Scott challenging for a state title would not have changed the reason why he left.
