Coach's Dismissal and Townie's Reaction
Coach Red Beaulieu
I got somethin for you. This is his transcript from South Lafayette High School in Cherokee Plains, Louisiana. Now, the problem with that is there ain't no South Lafayette High School in Cherokee Plains, Louisiana. So obviously, this is a fake! However, this is not a fake. This is from the NCAA. They don't think you ought to play football no more. So allow me to say this to you one more time: You're fired.
