HS FB coach fired, "God's will" cited as reason

Casey Weldon, a graduate of North Florida Christian School, coached the football team for the last two years, taking them to the state championship game both years.

After the season ended, the head of the school and church didn't renew his contractm citing the only reason as "it was God's will."

This has been a huge topic in Tallahassee, where Weldon grew up and also played QB for FSU.

He was a popular coach there and apparently most kids and players loved him.

I went to high school with him and am stunned this happened. I didn't like it when Randy Ray took over (after my time as a student had passed) and think that Weldon deserved a tangible reason.

 

Well, thank you for my morning faith-based stupidity.

 

Sounds like code for "got caught molesting a student."

 

Nah. It's code for "typical North Florida Christian." The comments section is illuminating.

 

No offense, Cadet, but that is a hell of a leap to attach a guy's name to that, even on a message board.

 

Just thank goodness he wasn't coaching at North Florida Madrasa.

 

Sweet. Maybe God's Will means didn't cover the spread and someone lost their ass.

Silly Christians and their belief systems.

 

God spoke to them about a coach?
Jumpin Jeebus...

 

I think the reporters all have missed the story. How did God exhibit his will? Burning bush? Disembodied hand writing on a wall?

Or perhaps losing twice in the state final is evidence enough.

 

I'm sure god gives a shit about Class A football in Florida.

 

Good point. Probably send an angel or a cheerful monk at best to handle that.

 

Or an angels grad assistant or intern.
