I have read these comments and it is not all about Coach Heaton. It is about these kids. Yes, Coach left, but what did he leave. He left a group of kids that should be well motivated and inspired to play the game with or without him. I know loosing a coach can painful, but as you workout, get in shape and do your part at ECHS use that as MOTIVATION! It is not the end of ECHS!!! Remember the students make the school and the players make the plays, the teachers and coaches are just instructors! You get out what you put in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See I didnt attend ECHS and I messed up my spelling but that dont mean I dont have proper grammer it just tells me that I can admit to a mistake. I’m proud to say my daughter is apart of the kids at ECHS.

To all of you that are talking smack about the kids that attend ESCM should be ashamed. I have a daughter that attends the school and I care very much about her education. And if she wasnt getting the “proper grammar” then I would send her to another school. And to the Academy, I will put my daughter’s education against one of your any day of the week. But make sure you send the best you got. ECHS will stand strong cause they are use to doing for themself and nothing just being giving to them..GO BIG BLUE!!!!!

Wow< for all the comments about the players grammar if you was smart enough you would realize ESCAMBIA ACADEMY isnt doing better than any other school in escambia county grade wise havent you realized that govenor bentley is trying to close the private schools ! students dont have to use proper grammar on something that is not important (trying to express how they feel to you ) echs will eventually get better so worry about you and not echs .

ECHS has some very bad problems!!! Until these “problems” are corrected… you’ll never see new staff stay a couple of years or more. I know one teacher/coach that used to work at ECHS and moved to another school because it is so bad there. He told me, “They couldn’t pay me enough money to come back!” Part of the problem is the undisciplined students. They show total disrespect to any female teacher. They have gone rogue! Why do you think people leave that crap hole and go to Escambia Academy??? Good luck to Coach Heaton.

To the ppl talkin down on the football team , don’t make it seem like it’s our fault he left. An everybody doesn’t have proper grammar. Some people cant help who they was raised around . Our grammar and education had nothing to do with his decision . Doesn’t matter what school he switches to , there will still be improper grammar . Echs football team will continue to put our hearts in each game . !!

Looks like they need to do away with the entire football team,and focus more on education. How can a person pass an english class with grammar like that? Makes me question our school system.

Look, these kids and other people that have made comments are upset about him leaving, stop trying to make other excuses for him leaving. The teachers at ECHS are doing their best, from what I see to educate these kids, it takes more than the teachers and foot ball coach, it takes the parents and the kids wanting to do their best too! Don’t try to add more to it then there really is. I am sure that the coach’s dicision is one that he prayed on and is taking GOD’s guidance in this. I pray that the next coach will be just as good or better. Everyone should pray for this!

Maybe he left because he could not understand what his players were saying?
