John 8:7 "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Some of the people on this website sicken me. A man makes a mistake and you lash out at him? I'm pretty sure there have been many times in your life that you had made a deal or promise and didn't keep it. Yes my dad, (Coach Burkhart) is not perfect, but neither are any of you on here. My dad HAS called and texted EVERY kid in Gordon and apologized. Sad thing is, they are more forgiving than you all are. They understand that family comes first. Yes I understand that the community of Gordon is hurt, but like all of us know, they are all athletes and will still be great. He also made a promise to the boys in RS that he has stood by for 10 years. How do you think they felt when they heard he was leaving? And for you to say that it wasn't about FAMILY.... who are you to say what the reason is? you have no idea what goes on in this family. So i suggest you keep those personal comments to yourself. The Burkhart family is very sorry for how things turned out. But to sit on here and run your mouth about a man who really chose his FAMILY over CAREER, just sickens me. Yes to sign a contract means you make a legal agreement, but I highly doubt he was the first person to ever do this. It's just when someone is on top everyone is going to find reasons to hate him or bash him. But you know what i say about those people? "HATERS ARE LIKE CRICKETS. THEY ARE CHIRPIN' WHEN YOUR BACK IS TURNED, BUT WHEN YOU GET UP CLOSE TO THEM THEY ARE SILENT." In my dads decision to move back to RS, has nothing to do with most of you "CRICKETS" on here (people that hide behind their username....). So yes i understand the hurt of the Gordon community, but that does not give anybody, ANYBODY the right to throw him under the bus and run your mouth about a man who chose his family over career. I'm glad my father has taught me to be a family man and not someone who teaches their children that trash talking and bashing other people is gonna change the past or to make them feel better.
