It’s a great time to be a rough and tough football coach who uses fear, intimidation and, apparently, nudity to motivate teenage boys!
Last week, Jefferson County DA Jason Hicks dropped various criminal abuse charges against former Ringling head football coach Phillip Koons – the embattled coach who’s been criticized, chastised, and canned from various coaching jobs over the years for mistreating his players and students.
According to the DA, the criminal charges were dropped “in the furtherance of justice after review of civil disposition,” which is basically just a vague, fancy, lawyerly way of saying that, for whatever reason, they don’t think pursuing criminal charges will result in a conviction.
