There are a lot of rumors speculating around EB Head Coach Derrick Minor with the lastest news of him re signing. Some local news are saying it was due to health concerns and Im also hearing that him and the athletic director had a meeting earlier in the week apparently looks like a few people were very unhappy with the way he behaved towards the players last week vs Freedom. And word is he was forced to resign. So will find out I’m sure soon

Health concerns are highly unlikely, IMO. The timing is very strange and I'm sure this is not what anyone wanted to happen, except the ones that are now happy. I hope that Coach Wittenberg has the energy and backing to get this team to the finish line this year. It can't be a good situation for anyone involved at this time.

Soft! If minor cussed then that’s BS I mean he a god fearing man but let’s be honest his time at EB has been Lackluster in term of not able to have a winning record with decent talent.

If he crossed the line then Ok I get it but It’s sad bc Minor to me is one of the best and one of the best to be at EB!

He is still coaching wrestling we heard so don't know what happen. EB is not a good football choice for anyone. Tough conference to win many games in. sounds like people were thinking they should have more wins but they were in most games in a tough conference at least but still you are based on win!!

Why would that happen they played Freedom close hopefully it's just a rumor


He resigned it was his choice that was a false rumor as always. Minor was not dismissed at teaching he is still going to coach Wrestling at EB less stress now for sure!! just spoke to one of the coaches about this Friday Night!! Good luck for the future cavs.

Looks like people may have complained bout his Faith based approach to his coaching as today Coach asked a simple question on his FB

Would you stand up for your faith, even if it cost you everything?

Wow great job Coach if that is true! Football is not that important that you would give up your believes for the Lord and trying to help other. Coach never push his believes on any one just tried to lead them the right way!! And people want to know why evil is in our schools!!

Coach Minor wife also posted about his resignation and

It seem some parents complained that Minor didn’t care about off the field stuff and only cared about Xs n Os which in my opinion is Totally and outrageously False

Also It seem No admin support was wearing on his Coach so that’s why Health (Physical/Mental) was his reasoning on stepping down so he could maintain his teaching job. I guess Admin didn’t want Minor as HC no more

Also He was told he couldn’t pray with or over the boys and could no longer play Christian Music during pre game. As We all know - Derrick Minor is a Devote Christian in his faith so

It’s the world we live in. That’s a shame too. Coach Moore at App State was devote and he made sure his players at least got exposed to the gospel in this form or that. Minor was same type of coach that I could see.

Agree totally, unfortunately the world don’t see it that way they want no trace of Christ or Christianity at all anymore. That or keep it super limited. Pray for our students and for our community

I noticed South Caldwell has updated the SPARtAN to make it appear that the T is a cross....I'm not sure how they are able to get by with that. It probably won't last long.

I didn't know that....I've seen some yard signs with the use of it, which should be totally fine. I just was surprised at the FB post of it in the school.
