Valdosta board votes out Rodemaker for the second time
The Valdosta City Schools board met to vote again on head football coach Alan Rodemaker, two weeks after it abruptly and stunningly voted him out, 5-4.
After hearing from the public and from Rodemaker, who completed his impassioned talk with, "We've still got work to do. Let me do the work. Go Cats.", the board went into executive session for more than an hour, returned to finish up other items and finally announce another 5-4 vote to fire him.
Once the crowd – in the large performing arts center at the school – grasped that Rodemaker, a former head coach at Peach County, was out again, it reacted loudly against the decision, and players quickly walked out.
For video of the meeting – Rodemaker starts speaking at 1:19:00 – visit here. Players had put together a video of support.
