Several axioms out there. "if you're not pissing people off, you're not working hard enough"; "you cannot make everyone happy"; "gotta do what's best in the big picture". Probably more, but it's early here. Anyway, after 28 years in k-12 education, have seen the most successful Superintendents utilize their board to chum up votes for his/her programs. In other words, make certain that you've got Board support before you put your ass out there. Too easy to look foolish if one doesn't do their research, and garner support. If you want to zig, and the board wants to zag, you might find yourself outside and looking in. Had more than one superintendent tell me, 'went to bed with a 4-1 Board. Woke up with a 2-3 Board, and all I did was go to sleep". This bird didn't even get out of the starting gate, so somebody got to the Board beforehand. Just make sure you've got a solid buy-out clause, and that you've got a 5-0 Board going in. Anything else means that you need to keep your resume current.

Wander Franco walks away a free man after being found guilty of sexual abuse of a minor. The mother of the minor who pimped her to Wander gets 10 years in prison. WTF!?!?

Can’t believe we lost this young man half way through the season (plus the Remington award winner) and still won it all.

Frye really did a job for the ages last season.

Anyone prowl the Florida boards? Wonder if they are as on-the-ledge as tOSU fanatics.

Bags.
