Totally agree with this. After reading the article there are no real facts to go with but it does raise a ton of questions.
Coach, Dad agree with both of you. Curious as to how this plays out once all facts are known.
So, the kid is just standing on the bench watching the game and coach comes out of nowhere, grabs him by the back of the jacket and wants to fight him?? Sounds fishy to me. Two sides to every story. No judgments from here until more comes out.
Agree about the seriousness of the allegation and the need to get to the bottom if it; but, does it really warrant a thread in each of two forums?
Agree as well.

It mentions: "Although Rembielak seemed nice enough in the few conversations I had with him, most anecdotal evidence suggests he was not well liked by his players"
owlswin,
You are some time trying to get people to think this guy is not a good person. What is your vested interest in this?
IEB, vested interest or not, does it really matter? Must I apologize for googling for further insight to the topic, I think not.
I think you have an agenda.
what is it?
what is it?

A five year old article about a coach coming into a losing situation and upsetting players. A new coach comes in, recruits new players and benches the previous coach's recruits who aren't getting the job done. That's never happened before! What in the world does this possibly have to do with an accusation of hitting a player where there is zero evidence provided? Let's just overreact and stone the guy. So far this is a non story.
Maybe im just getting too old but the accusations don't seem too horrific to me. I understand that we live in a different world now but seriously a police report for that? Looking back to my college days i guess i could have had 4-5 coaches locked up for verbal abuse with today's standards.
Not justifying what was supposedly done, but if it did happen why publicize it instead of working it out man to man? Again, maybe im just getting too old
Yeah it does matter. You have presented 2 articles on a coach who is being investigated for something that appears to not have a lot of proof. Then you bring up another article that states players don't like him. It sounds like you don't like him.
Verbal abuse is not even in the same book as putting your hands on one of your players.That said just what exactly does the second article have to do with the first?Unless owlswin can provide a reasonable explanation I think we should take a vote and suspend all man privlegdes for owlswin untill monday morning.
All due respect to everyone on this thread, owlswin is entitled to his opinion and for that matter he's entitled to have an agenda. Stop trying to shoot the messenger. A Head Coach has been suspended under suspicion of wrong doing. It's news. Maybe there's nothing to it and frankly I hope that's the case, but the school knows enough about it to have suspended the man while investigating... That's not an insignificant development. It's reasonable to post the story on this board and it's also reasonable to post the second story from a few years back. Maybe former players will speak up in favor of the Coach or maybe there are past positive stories about the coach out there... any such stories would be equally relevant.
I agree with not rushing to judgement on the Coach, but you want to take away this HSBBW member's right to post on this board because you don't like what he's contributing?? Owlswin doesn't owe anyone an explanation as to why he's posted credible news stories. The Coach is the one who has explaining to do at the moment.
I agree that he is allowed to his own opinion. However, I just think that something seems off about it. He has posted the topic in multiple forums and it just seems as if there is something else going on other than just expressing his opinion.
For another update...see this link...this guy must be nuts....
No charges. Nothing but accusations. And you've decided he's crazy. What's your agenda? It's your third negative post against this coach while he hasn't been charged with anything. At least tell us you're from the Akron area so we can understand why you would have so much interest in this story.
Probably the parent of the player posting....get a life please.
Still nothing more than accusations at this point. Police looked into it and determined there was nothing actionable, so that's one hurdle cleared for the coach. The school's investigation continues. A second incident of "potential player abuse" has surfaced from last season. Sounds like the coach and players both agree that incidents have occured, but disagree as to how severe either one really was. Just from reading the posted stories, my take is that the coach is at worst guilty of the occasional over-the-top meltdown... Which is not ideal behavior, but also probably not to far outside the norm for college programs. Do a youtube search on a few big name coaches and you'll find some meltdown moments, usually captured on the phone of a disgruntled player.Anyway, based on the facts that have come out so far, I'd mostly file this under basic a$$-chewing... maybe a bit over the top but not around the bend, IMO. Just depends which way the school comes down on it.
