Jerry Snodgrass out as OHSAA Director

[art_vandelay]

Per the Twitter, OHSAA executive director Jerry Snodgrass is done. Full story not known yet, but it was not voluntary per sources.

Reeks of OHSAA already having some serious internal division over the tough decisions that gotta be made in next few weeks*

This will tip the scale for or against. It’s embarrassing to the kids who this is supposed to be about.

Twitter be blowin' up tonight. Sucks for Snodgrass. When you're canned it's not good. Can't wait to read my Dispatch in AM.

Snodgrass was the one telling my inside sources football was going to happen. I think this is a terrible sign for football and OHSAA. They just had a lawsuit put on them as well.

A little info on the interim director, Bob Goldring:

1.) Jerry Snodgrass is a great guy whose heart is definitely in the right place, trying to juggle the best interests of the kids and what was smart to do.

2.) There is very little reason to believe ALL of Ohio would be playing high school football, with fans in the stands, this coming fall and yet this is what Jerry kept intimating to people as recent as last week. Hope springs eternal, but there were warning signs springing up as districts announced they would be going to remote learning this fall that this simply would not be the case.

3) The bills are piling up in the OHSAA mailbox, and some of them have those big red letters that say "PAST DUE" written on the envelope.

Some are saying without football income OHSAA will not make it. They have put way to much money into the new offices. Rumor is that the board wanted to flip football to spring and this is just something Jerry was against. Also eliminating a salary could help OHSAA. I’m a big Snodgrass guy and I’m saddened by this.

Yep. He was on record saying he was opposed to flipping the seasons and now he’s gone. Get ready for the flip. Unfortunately it’s coming

Recently Snodgrass had called out Dewine in a presser and some think the gov came for him.

This is a bizarre idea.

All kinds of stuff going around about a lawsuit and Snodgrass going against DeWines orders. Then they got into about football in the spring. Just so many rumors going around.

I doubt it has anything to do with the governor.

[TRENCHFOOT]

Agree, O&B.

[EasternDspy]

Actually it is one of the reasons they got sued by group of basketball camps. Snodgrass sent out tweets and went against what the gov wanted to do. It’s not the only reason but it was part of the reason.

This is the email sent by Snodgrass to all AD yesterday. OHSAA was mad the Jerry even brought up confidential court proceedings. It’s no secret that Snodgrass has took multiple shots at DeWine. DeWine was upset that it seemed Snodgrass endorsed the idea of overnight camps yesterday in this email. DeWine didn’t directly fire Snodgrass but he had a part in it.

[formerfcfan]

Mike DeWine can really care less about the OHSAA's business. You're going too far out on a limb on this one, brother.

Yep. I think you are right.

Very well could happen, especially if OHSAA is so strapped for cash that they need a season. Could be a very real possibility

[Westfan]

It's not uncommon in any type of business for the board of directors to take over and replace a CEO, especially when the word bankruptcy is used.

Spring football is fine, but the problem to me is basically sacrificing Spring and Winter sports in the process with the hope of possibly getting a vaccine by spring. What you have is people doing what's in the best interest of them and their jobs, and not what's in the best interests of the kids.

If there is no sports people loose their jobs, you could never convince me that isn't at the root of all their decisions

We all know about the email. It sent out as a press release right after it is sent to the AD's
Snodgrass is more than likely out because the board wants quicker decisions regarding fall sports.
Quit throwing stuff at the wall hoping it will stick
