This guy is a piece of crap, and any student or parent who thinks otherwise is an idiot who puts the opportunity of getting a free pass to college via sports over the safety of others. I don't care how many games this idiot has won, how many seasons he has been bolstering himself up; the bottom line is that he is putting our children in danger and that must be the most important thing. Maybe the worst part is the obvious pattern of seeking out teenagers through any means possible, being sneaky and underhanded like this is the trademark of a sexual predator. Thank God they dismissed him, I wish they had done it sooner. God only knows how many girls at Perry Hall have been victimized.

Actually, the coach was not charged in any crime, and the girl that made the statement recanted her testimony, saying that they made it up against him. The guy has no criminal background and has no charges against him at Perry Hall. There is a petition of parents that want the guy to get his job back because of his "dedication and integrity".

Amazing that these parents are so living through their kids. My kids played sports and went to PHH. Thank God they had all graduated before this predator was hired.

The fact is only one of the girls recanted her statement. He wasn't convicted because he agreed to a plea bargain to give up his teaching license in NJ. People work hard to get their teacher license, why would you give it up if you were innocent? I would be fighting like crazy to have my name cleared. After going through all that why would you even want to go around a high school and take a chance of someone"lying" again.

Sorry he fits the sex predator profile to a T.

All those parents should be charged with some type of neglect if they want this person anywhere near their children.

Spent to many years in the police dept witnessing parents knowingly allowing their childern to be abused just because they didn't want to believe the truth or didn't want to lose a friend. They are sick people who put their child's welfare last.

Plus I spent to much time with parents on the sideline thinking their child would get a full ride to college for their sports. Instead of concentrating on good grades. Wake up parents!!!!

I praise Baltimore County for erring on the side of caution. Unlike Anne Arundel County, they took action to protect students. No one can argue that it was the right thing to do. Many predators work in the school systems and sports areas to get close to kids. If there was reason to believe this guy did something like this, firing him was the right thing to do.
