Eric,
I know you base stories on fact but I can tell you this did happen it is not a rumor.

Coaches and other sponsors do have contracts. Mr. Latham can only recommend that someone not be renewed. The board has the final say (and it sounds like it's going to be Tuesday night). If you want to see Coach Thomas retained, call a board member.

My question is...if this is fact(which i think everyone will hear it is after the board meeting) would it be against policy for the Athletic Director to take it upon himself to let a coach go WITHOUT a board vote? It is my assumption that the A.D. can RECOMMEND not to rehire but can he tell a coach.."Sorry but i'm firing you from your coaching position". I mean if that is the case and I did say IF, then why do they even need a BOARD OF EDUCATION? As I commented earlier, it will be interesting to see if anyone shows up Tuesday.
Will be interesting to see who and how many show up for the board meeting Tuesday.
What disturbs me about the entire controversy regarding this coach is that the only source of "information," other than the policy information posted by Smokin' Cheetah and the factual information about the school board from Eric Crump, is some unofficial blog that's just a bunch of uninformed opinions, with a little gossip, rumor-mongering and innuendo thrown in for flavor.
Smokin' Cheetah I agree 100% with everything you posted you said it way better than I could have.
I should have said *IF* Mr. Latham did was he's been *ALLEGED* to have done, then it wouldn't have been against policy as I read it.
I apologize for inferring that I know one way or the other. I do not.
