I have a question I am a relatively young coachâ?¦I took a new job for this past season moving up 2 levelsâ?¦The problem I have is thisâ?¦My philosophies and beliefs are extremely different than the coach I work for I was mislead in considering this job and have notified him that I will not returnâ?¦I love coaching very much it is all I ever wanted to do but I had rather never coach again than work for this manâ?¦He has blamed and accused me of several things and as I know they are two sides to every story I swear none of them are trueâ?¦he is very insecure the other coaches on staff he had brought in with him except one and they honestly are nothing more than yes menâ?¦my question is basically thisâ?¦he has given me several bad references since I have started looking and said some things that have gotten back to me, he knows every coach it seems (I have a great reference from my old coach who is a member of many of the state coach association boards and very well liked and respected)â?¦we meet earlier and he wanted to make sure we left here on good terms with no bad feelings but now he is blasting me behind my backâ?¦How do I handle this I am afraid that I will lose my temper if I go back to confront him I addressed all my feelings in our first meeting in a calm and controlled manor do I just let it roll as water off a ducks back and be a bigger man leaving things as they were discussed in our original meeting?
One young coach to another - You must do what your gut tells you to do. Any further altercation, whether verbal or physical, will not help your cause. Being mislead is part of the deal (it shouldn't be, but is). Making good decisions about jobs is a difficult thing to do.
I, being a new coach, had no experience in evaluation an offer (or pitch), so I asked someone in the same profession that I trust. They can shed light on some of the things you are not experienced in. This is only one approach, but it worked for me.
As far as getting nightmared, you probably are new enough to have little or no reputation. Use this to your advantage and get out of dodge as soon as possible! You may need to create a clean slate by commuting and/or moving.
Just remember - Good coaches are looking to surround themselves with other good coaches. If you are patient and diligent, you will land on both feet. Remember to never-never-never compromise your values.

gawntrail is right on with his comments. I would chalk this up to experience, as hard as it might be I would not confront your oldd coach any further. For the future when you start looking for your new position I would be up front with other coaches and let them know that there was a problem with your last coach. Coaches appreciate when you can be up front with them. I think at one time or the other we most not all have had a bad experience with other coaches. Don't dwell on the past and move onto the future.

To get away form from the sitatution will be a blessing. Any schools... you must talk to in person so your old boss can "hurt" you. Start working with other coaches to further yourself from him.
