Did realignment scare him off after that first L? Anyone plugged in here?
On Wednesday, Wilkes told The Post and Courier that, despite the timing, the resignation "had to be done."
The coach, who was 23-4 in two seasons and led the Landsharks to the Class AA state title last season, says the decision to step away was his and his alone. He was not pressured or asked to resign by the school, he said.
“I truly recognize the timing is bad but this was a decision, a personal decision, that I had to make right now,” Wilkes said. “This was a totally amicable decision by both sides. I hate it for my players, but it had to be done."
