Disturbing Details emerge about Kenny Sanchez's firing as Menendez football coach

However, multiple sources spoke to The Record on condition their names not be used because they were concerned about jeopardizing their professional prospects. Sources told variants of the same story:

A parent accosted Sanchez after Menendez's 25-point road win over Gainesville Eastside.

An altercation ensued. Menendez Athletic Director Patrick Turner tried to break up the altercation between Sanchez and the parent, only for Sanchez and Turner to exchange expletives. 

Reportedly, Turner told Sanchez to return to St. Augustine with the football team. Instead, Sanchez elected to drive separately. When the players and coaching staff returned, Sanchez and Turner again became involved in a shouting match.

“Following the events that occurred after Thursday night’s football game, Pedro Menendez High School Administration made the decision to relieve Coach Sanchez from his duties as a teacher and coach at Pedro Menendez High School."

On the field, Sanchez recorded a 65-8 record and won a pair of mythical national championships in Las Vegas. Off the field, the coach was dogged by allegations of having a quick temper. Despite those reservations, and Turner receiving multiple unsigned messages via physical mail and social media from Nevada regarding the character of the former Bishop Gorman coach, Turner out of the kindness of his heart announced on June 25 that he was still hiring Sanchez.

Didn’t @ReallyAgitatedLDT brake this story like 2 weeks ago?

A coach simply can not get into an "altercation" with a parent and then shout down the AD afterwards...twice. 

Seems like the leash was short already after all the unsigned warnings and previous press. Sanchez had to go all the way across the country to find a job as it was. 

Coaches are supposed to be the professionals here. Sanchez had to find a way to avoid an altercation. 

Notice there was different adjectives used here. Sanchez was accosted by an upset parent and then entered into an altercation with the parent rather than being the bigger man and professional.

Exactly.  This is a coach who flew off the handle and got into a physical altercation with a parent and then got into two verbal altercations with his boss and acted insubordinate.  Not a tough decision here.  The AD bent over backward to give the coach a second chance with this job, but the idiot coach has a major anger management problem.

But naturally, the two usual pimps and scammers on the board support the psycho coach.  Too funny.

What’s disturbing? Sounds like the AD didn’t have the coaches back after a psycho parent harassed him because the kid wasn’t good enough to play even in a blowout. 
 

dumpster fire. 

The underling point is probably correct. A parent can't get mad at a coach for high school playing time, it's not Pop Warner pay-for-play.

But Sanchez is a school district employee even when he's on the sidelines. He doesn't have carte blanche to be a hothead and act like a nut. I get why he apparently got angry, but he's got to control himself and abide by professional standards.

Sanchez self-sabotaged on that one. You can't have shouting matches with parents and your superior two times and expect zero repercussions.

Funny thing is, whoever takes over for him is unlikely to play the kid anyway.

The bottom line is that Kenny Sanchez is unfit to lead high school kids.

He's a bozo who can't handle simple tasks that every head coach faces.

You apologize for him like you do Trump.

Football is just like life man, you can't come crashing hard every play and let your emotions get the better of you. You gotta stay disciplined with your emotions. That psycho parent read Sanchez beautifully and executed his gameplan with precision. Sanchez lost discipline and gave him exactly what he wanted.

right and guess who doesn't get fired... parents

Sanchez should have kind of known that. It reminds me a lot of when Desoto and IMG played afterwards, the Desoto coach said he felt scammed when he figured out what IMG truly was, earth's high school football team with no borders. Thats the coaches fault for not doing his due diligence and being conscious of your environment (in football you have to be aware of the opposing teams tendencies, ref biases, cheating, etc) Sanchez should have known that public schools are NOTHING like privates.

In this equlavient, that parent taunted sanchez on 4th down to hit him, sanchez lost his cool and took the bait. Gave the parent a 1st down conversion, touchdown, and two extra points with some humiltation. Dude lost his job, cost his family, made a fool by the media, and is stranded thousands of miles from home.
