I am a Reno High graduate as are my children and most of my grandchildren will also graduate from there We need more teachers who are willing to fight for their students when the need arises. Dan was only saying what everyone else has known for years.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves! I think you need to take a refresher course on the Constitution regarding "Freedom of Speech!" A great place to start would be learning from the students that participate in "We the People."
You people are a disgrace!

While his comments can be perceived as controversial to some, this should not warrant him being removed as head football coach.

We live in a society that is now plagued with people having to constantly worry about if their comments will get them expelled from school or fired from a job. Granted there are a list of things that may warrant such action, Dan's comments do not meet that criteria.

Coach Avansino was one of the individuals that inspired me to join the United States Marine Corps. During my 4 years under his watch, the harsh criticism for my abilities on the field and actions off the field was surely present. Without this heavy hand and tough criticism, I most likely would not have pursued a career in the military.

Reno High indeed has the final say in this but if they stand firm with their decision, it is sending a message to their community and their students that criticism is not allowed if the criticism being made may be perceived as controversial. This also sets a precedent Reno High and surrounding schools will have to follow up with regarding speech.

I hope Reno High does not fall victim to the politically correct atmosphere our country has dove head first into.

This man has done more for the students at his school than anyone in Reno. He didn't accuse anyone, he stated an opinion and gave criticism. The fact that he was fired for that is further indicative that the administration doesn't care about it's staff, or it's students, but about money. This is a school, not a political debate. People have the right to an opinion and censoring him by taking away his job is sending a clear message. It's saying that Reno High School's administration doesn't care about freedom of speech and will actively work against it at the detriment of their own staff.
