I'm very much looking forward to Feb. 8. I can say this honestly – whatever decision is made, I'll respect it and go about my business. But I will always wish Wyoming Valley West football the best of luck.

I am not an enemy (of Curry). We don't have hard feelings among one another. I told him he was entitled to (apply).

I can tell you this much, no school board member ever told me I had to get rid of any coaches. That's being honest with you. Nobody said you should get rid of anybody. I evaluated the situation and made some personnel changes.

I'm disappointed, very disappointed. I want to wish the entire Valley West football family the best of luck and continued success. I want to thank the school board for giving me the opportunity for the past eight years to be the head football coach.

I'm surprised at that. He made a decision and I'll honor everybody's decision here. I'm not speaking badly about anybody through this whole thing and I'm not going to today.

If they want me there (Friday), I'll be there. I'll honor my job and start clearing out my office and we'll go from there.

I haven't thought about doing anything else other than being the head football coach at Valley West. If some school district was interested in talking, or something in that nature, or a program wanted to consider me coming in as an assistant, if it was the right situation then yeah.
