Petition to Block the Removal of Lou Silva from His Position of Head Football Coach at Marshfield High School
Nearly thirty-six years. A Hall of Fame winning percentage. Five Super Bowl rings. Thousands of teenagers better shaped into men. And yet, principal Robert Keuther and his administrative regime at Marshfield High School seem to think that the respectable way to move forward - on the heels of an 8-3 season, no less - is to remove the man most responsible for all of this success, Head Coach of the football program, Lou Silva.
Keuther and his office denied to comment on the matter when the Boston Herald provided them with the opportunity to give their reasoning (it's been reported that Keuther prefers to have his coach in-house and on staff payroll as either a teacher or administrator), and I wasn't able to reach a live person at all when reaching out to MHS for answers. So here we are.
Based on his past, present, and projected future performance, PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION to block the removal of Lou Silva from his position of Head Coach of the Marshfield High School Football Program. Coach Silva has earned - and continues to earn - the right to lead these students on the field until he chooses to retire.
Let your voice be heard, and together let's prevent the current administration from putting a black mark on the storied history that is Marshfield Football.
(And should this petition not achieve it's goal, I would strongly encourage all potential head coaching candidates not to apply for the position once it's made open. Coach Silva can't lose his job if he isn't competing with anyone for it.)
Thank you, Marshfield!

I played for Lou in "76" as one of his captains, my son in 2004 also one of his captains. Both of us proud to say, and he has only got better every year. What a career and this is how you treat him.
I like Lou. But be for real. HS football should be eliminated in Mass.
I'd can the whole football program and put the money into increasing teacher salaries. Teachers are severely underpaid and football is too violent anyhow.
Former coach at Catholic Memorial School. This guys a living legend. Keep Lou In!
Lou Silva had a positive influence on my four daughters. Marshfield needs a role model of this caliber for its student body.
Keep Lou Silvia as coach
My favorite coach, one of my favorite people!! He has done such a great job with the football program, why would you cheat the kids from the experience of coach Silva!

Without Mr. Silva my daughter would not have made it through Furnace Brook School. This had absolutely nothing to do with sports. Mr Silva is a remarkable teacher and a very good and caring person. Please allow him to remain in Marshfield !
