Hey, Ed, about Coach Jordan and the fact that he wasn’t reinstated as a coach at Steinert High, he is still a teacher and got his job back to teach math. The only reason he didn’t get his coaching job back is because he was not a good coach. They need to say that in the media, so this doesn’t turn into a race issue any longer. He’s not a coach because coaching is not a guaranteed position. Speaking to the returning players at Steinert, I found them saying they don’t want him back.

Sidelines

There have been plenty of published comments hinting that a dissatisfaction with his coaching was part of the motivation behind Jordan’s ouster. We’ve said all along that if that is what happened, it should have been out in the open, rather than robbing a man of his job based on accusations that were deemed unfounded.—Ed. Note
