PETITION TO REMOVE OR REASSIGN ZACH YATES AS THE HEAD COACH OF THE PALMETTO RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM
This petition calls for the IMMEDIATE removal or reassignment of Zach Yates as the Head Coach of the football team at Palmetto Ridge High School.
Throughout Mr. Yates' tenure at Palmetto Ridge High School, the Football Program has suffered tremendous losses on and off the field. As of 9/2/24 Mr. Yates record during his 2-year tenure is 2-10 (1 victory by forfeit). Due to Mr. Yates, The Palmetto Ridge High School Football Program has shown negligence & suffered significant losses in the following areas:
1) The continued loss of Community Support.
2) The loss of Parental Support within the Program.
3) The loss of current and Potential Coaches.
4) The loss of current and potential athletes and players.
5) The loss of support and confidence from current players & coaches.
6) The gross negligence and mismanagement of injuries with current players, specifically concussions.
7) The negligence and mismanagement of the JV Football program.
8) The loss of current and potential sponsors and donors.
The supporters of Palmetto Ridge High School Athletics have a great sense of pride within our community regarding the football program & the Standards of what it means to be a "Bear". We have witnessed and endured Mr. Yates' countless ethics violations & his unprofessional behavior. Mr. Yates has also shown an inability to identify & connect with his players or his staff on and off the field. This has caused a tremendous strain within the school, the team and the community. The players and the community feel embarrassed & demoralized by the current status of its football program due to the Mr. Yates.
We the undersigned members of the Palmetto Ridge High School Community, do hereby and respectfully request the IMMEDIATE removal or reassignment of Zach Yates as the Head Football Coach of Palmetto Ridge High School.

I have been reviewing the detailed experiences many of you have shared regarding your concerns with the football program. These reports confirm that the current situation requires urgent administrative attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our students.
September 5, 2024
The response to this petition has demonstrated a clear decline in community confidence regarding the current football program leadership. It is evident that the concerns regarding player welfare and institutional mismanagement resonate deeply with many individuals who hold Palmetto Ridge High School in high regard. This momentum ensures that our request for a formal review will be difficult for the administration to overlook.

I think this will not only change the program but it will change the whole county and get more kids to want to play there.
Having gone through similar situations during my high school tenure as an athlete I think the generations after me deserve better. Palmetto Ridge NEEDS to move on from this coach.
Respectfully I believe this should include the athletic director as well. He obviously isn’t correcting nor hiring qualified head coaches.
Due to just unaccountability and not being that leader for the children of this community of this team. I feel like it’s best we move on from this HC and pursue someone who has been around especially who is from this county.
It is clear that there a lack in general knowledge of the fundamental of the game and the complete disconnect of the athletes on the team. As well as dishonesty, in personal changes…the kids are afraid to speak up in fear of retaliation from the coach!!!
This guy is the meaniest couch in the world):<
Our community and kids deserve better! Yates and Brickzin needs to go…

These kids and community have lost all respect for this program… Yates is not the man for the job! We need a coach that is familiar with the kids and the community(a local coach). The A.D continues to hire unqualified coaches he is part of the problem as well.
