2025 Football Coaching Controversy
The ECHS school board decided to not renew assistant coaches Floyd and Anderson's contracts even though they were recommended by the athletic department and super intendant for another season. This decision promted head coach Olds to resign.
“Without warning or explanation, my top assistants were non-renewed,” Olds said. “Coach (Bryan) Floyd and coach (Nick) Anderson were recommended by the athletic department and by the superintendent but ultimately voted down by our school board. No explanation was ever given to me as to why.” -Wilmington News Journal
