By signing this petition, I hereby acknowledge that I am willfully seeking the reinstatement of Philip Shadowens as Blackman High School football coach. Based on actions observed on and off the field, we feel he holds the values and philosophy best suited for our student. There is a very strong consensus that the resignation was not in line with the direction that we want OUR program to go, For that reason, we are seeking a full investigation into the reason for his resignation on February 13th 2015 and complete disclosure of the “Differences in Philosophies” Leisa Justus gave for said action. Please consider this as a formal request made by not only those families of student athletes, and the students and athletes he has coached or mentored, but by those who elected you as their representative and voice.
