The community overwhelmingly supported this coach

No support from the school board which represents the community. You win a state championship then they talk about firing you and take 2 weeks to decide! Coach deserves better. Class act best of luck!

A lot of people were saying it was because he was white, and the school board did not think having a white head coach in a predominantly black community was good for the school.

It was pretty much shut down when damn near every black player/parent(including famous alumni) came out in support of Peterman.

I hate when "Politics" rears its ugly head into sports no matter what sport/age/location. I know it will never go away but I dont give a rip if a coach/player is turquoise, if they can play/coach then they have a job/spot in the program/team.

Get this dude HS relations spot right now!! 

My question is.. the NCAA passed that ruling last year you could recruit a kid from a HS if the coach joined the staff in a non-on field position.. would be that be valid for a HS relations position?

I figured it would be okay, but had no idea if it would potentially limit UNT Recruiting If he did pick UNT that’s why i asked

That would be classic "reverse discrimination" wouldn't it?

There are multiple big time 6A positions open across the state that will pay him way more and are better jobs. 

What is a HS paying, and if SL and WB are serious about upping recruiting they need to up the budgets as well.

130k + for a top 6A program in DFW 

Administrators say the pool of qualified candidates for head coaches, many of whom are also the athletic coordinators at their campuses, is smaller than the pool of qualified teachers. That drives up the cost for top talent.

“Right now, if I need a third-grade teacher, if I go to HR, I probably have 400 applications on file for people who want to be a third-grade teacher,” said superintendent Tom Leonard of the Eanes school district, where Austin Westlake coach Todd Dodge earns $131,600.

“And I’m not against third-grade teachers. I want to go on record and say that we need to pay teachers more money throughout the state of Texas. But if I need a principal or an AD, my numbers go down significantly, because there’s just not as many people in that pool.”

Dodge is one of 28 coaches in the state who earns more than $120,000 and one of five who earns $130,000 or more. He won four state titles at Southlake Carroll from 2002-06, leading the Dragons to a 79-1 record.
