Just Spit It Out

"Last year, Weinberg and Elum both raised concerns about "promises" made to head football coach Jason Hall during the interview process. They were "promises" the two contended, that weren't in his contract, but were made in good faith" (The Independent, May 19, 2011).

We wish the Independent would just spit it out and not resort to all this cloak and dagger verbiage about "promises."

We all know what the "promise" is.

The "promise" to Jason Hall was to make him the athletic director as well as the head football coach.

Marhsall Weinberg turned on soon to be former Superintendent Carmichael when she wouldn't agree to "reorganize" the athletic department, make the head football coach the athletic director, make the assistant athletic director former offensive coordinator Alex Wood, and "complete the DREAM," making football the total focus of Washington High School sports.

That was the "promise."

Just spit it out.

"Weinberg dismissed the idea that any "promises," either intentional or not, could be made to a potential superintendent candidate in face-to-face meetings or telephone conversations" (The Independent, May 19, 2011).

Then why all the secrecy, Marshall?
