Ohatchee football coach will remain on paid leave until the end of the school year, when he intends to retire
OHATCHEE – Football coach Scott Martin has formally resigned his position at Ohatchee High School apparently bringing to an end the season-long drama that has followed the program and cleared the way for Chris Findley to become the Indians’ permanent head coach.
Tobi Burt, the president of the Calhoun County school board, confirmed the board accepted Martin’s letter of resignation “at our previous board meeting.”
The eighth-year Indians head coach had been on paid administrative leave since Sept. 17 following what has been described as an “internal incident” at the school earlier that week.
His legal team said he will continue on paid leave until the end of the school year, when he intends to retire.
The Indians’ football team was 2-2 at the time and only hours away from playing Saks in an important region game early in the season. Findley was installed as the acting head coach.
The Indians lost that game to Saks and then, after an open date to regroup, won their next six in a row before losing to Winfield in the second round of the Class 3A playoffs. [**read more]
