Any information on why Winchester has decided to move on from Chris Scanlon? It seemed like all he did was win.

Parents or Politics
http://winchester.wickedlocal.com/sp...g-job/?Start=2
Based on this article, Winchester have facilitated the exit & have not offered him the position this fall.
Considering the A.D. is younger & only 2-3 years into his role there, perhaps there was some difference of opinion there with an experienced coach from the "old school".
Also likely that parents or school/town politics played a role in forcing the school in a new direction. Seems to be a growing trend.

Two schools of thought on this one:
1) He is a legend. Earned the right to leave on his own terms, whenever that is
2) It's about time. Performance lacking over last decade. Coaching style and tactics out of date
I fall into the first camp, and I am disappointed that my younger D will not have opportunity to play for him. At minimum he should have been given a one-year farewell season. I suspect the (new) AD will cite this as evidence of his ability to be a change-maker when interviewing for the next job he wants.

Less and less coaches get to leave on their own terms. The record over the last 3 years is not that bad at all.

doesn't make sense
A successful program without any controversy. Doesn't make sense. They were always successful. Guessing the ad decided to listen to the disgruntled parents of the less talented.

There's the travel player parents who always meddle in the local program and can't understand why their kids don't make varsity year 1 and get no PT. But there's also club parents who think their kids are far better than the are or think that because they play in a certain league that should guarantee them something. HS coaches have issues - some more than others - but they do call the shots. Kids need to learn that and figure out how to navigate it. Parents need to stop trying to fix everything for them.

What's really frustrating is listening to other parents on the sideline complain about the quality of HS soccer while their Mia loses to a team that doesn't play the right way.
