Ed Ryan Turns In Resignation Letter
The position ol football coach at Klamath Union high school has been thrown open to
applicants.
Meeting late Wednesday, the school board officially declared the post vacant and
lubsoqucnlly received a letter of resignation from Ed Ryan, who gave up all coaching duties
but retained his regular work as physical education instructor. With his letter, Ryan
passed along eight suggestions ho believes will bo of valuo to his successor.
No successor bos been appointed, but school athletic officials have learned of several
possible applicants to the job, among them A I Simpson of Southern Oregon college, and
Dick Sutherland of Tho Dollcs.
Ryan's letter of resignation, addressed to Arnold Crolapp, superintendent of schools,
pointedly assailed the public "Mom street" attitude here in Klamath Falls that athletics at
the high school are a 'civic affair" rather than a school matter.
Ryan declared ho no longer cared to coach ony athletics at Klamath Union high until
this situation is mode for the "betterment of the student body at large."
After a season as assistant gridiron coach in 1945, Ryan moved up to the post of head
Pelican football coach in 1946 and 1947, becoming one of the youngest head coaches in
tho state. His 1947 team won the Southern Oregon title but was edged by The Dalles in a
13-13 tie game for the stale tournament quarter-finals,
He also coached baseball last spring and won a district championship, and success
fully handled freshman basketball for three years.
His open letter to tho school board contained these suggestions to his successor:
i r I
rressure uroup uoacning uepioraoie
recognized tor many years, unotli-
Flrit As has been
JliaWy, Main street MINORITY pressure groups must not be
allowed to exercise the importance that they have in the past
years In order that athletics in Klomath Falls bo operated on
a higher, more educational piano than does now exist.
Second Tho Quarterback club, as originally planned to
help and promote athletics in the high school wos fine, but
the extent to which the coaches have been made unofficially
accountable to this group of second guessors is deplorable.
Third Gambling on local high school contests destroys
stabilization of tho program, for there aro those who stort a
whispering campaign against the good names of innocent
. parties when they lose a wager.
Fourth A much belter relationship of the coaches with
the director of athletics and tho outlets for public relations
(press and radio) could be established with a little conscienti
ous effort or guidance from the proper higher authorities.
Fifth Protect your coaches from tho petty dictates of
selfish individuals by staling once in a while the purpose and
policy under which our athletic program is trying to strive.
Sixth Don't change coaches every other season or so.
As you know, we have had Six (6) coaches in the past 10
years, many of which have had fine records and high moral
characters. The sole fault can't always lie in the coaching.
' Estoblish a criteria of what you consider a good football
' coach. ,
Seventh Recognize the foct that we ore an isolated
ichool and we must go more than "half way" in our rela
tionships with other schools in order to obtain othletic con
tests for our minor ond sccondory sports.
Eighth Let the high school handle the sale of seoson
tickets and take off the exaggerated otmosphere that exists
on the football program and tiy to strive for a more rounded
program of athletics.
I feel the most important thing thot could be done is
more time be given to the rest of tho student body rather
!thon the extreme concentration that exists with only about
. ITS per cent of the male population of the school. Develop a
gtrong Intromural program so that all students, boys and
jjirls alike, con take part in some form of activity.
These ore not to be rcgorded as criticisms, far be it, but
ore my honest convictions as to what might prove to be of
' some valuo to you as a group toword fostering better oil-
around relationships. EDWARD J. RYAN.
