Remove Adrian Mitchell from Klein Collins


Remove Adrian Mitchell from Klein Collins
The Issue
We are genuinely concerned about the impact mitchells coaching style has on the boys as well as the future of the program under his leadership. There have been many voices over the years expressing the same concerns but those have been ignored.
We are encouraging parents, students and community members in the Klein School District to sign in support of hiring a new head football coach to begin the next school year.
Reasons for removing Adrian Mitchell:
- his treatment of his players is based solely on fear and intimidation.
- he has targeted players using bully-like behavior including mind games, yelling, intimidation and threats, passive-aggressive behavior, singled out players and made “examples of” them during practices, made players sit on the sidelines as punishment like toddlers and called players names during practice and games.
- More than one player has suffered mental issues/depression due to his tactics. Mitchell has abused his power and young self-esteem is being damaged as a result.
- mitchell violates the Coach Code of Ethics guidelines that the Klein school board and administrators have set for all coaching staff.
- Players have quit the program due to his tactics and even more potential players will not go out for football because of his reputation.
-Mitchell has remained as a coach despite consistent complaints by parents and players through the years – none of which were documented by the school district.
- Mitchell’s behavior has had the effect of a classic abuse situation – players are afraid to tell for fear of additional punishment or worse treatment- and parents who do find out hesitate to speak up because previous complaints have gone nowhere and they do not want to make the situation worse for their son and/or their siblings.
