Whitsett steps down from Fever
July 6, 2006 - National Indoor Football League (NIFL)
Tri-Cities Fever News Release
The Fever organization, out of respect for Dan Whitsett and according to his wishes, choose as its official statement a direct quote from former Head Coach Dan Whitsett's letter of resignation tendered on 7/6/06.
"I felt at this time it was best to offer my resignation. I would like to thank the ownership group for the opportunity to lead the Fever the last two seasons.
It was truly a magical ride to the championship last season and something that me, my family, the players, and the Fever fans will never forget."
"I'd like to thank the players and certainly all the loyal fans of the Fever for all their kindness and support given to me and my family over the last two seasons. I would also like to thank the members of the media, as they have been wonderful to work with and very professional.
I would never part ways at this time if I didn't feel it was not necessary. Certainly, I would never purposely let anybody down. I have learned a lot from my two seasons as Head Coach of the Fever. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of professional sports. I have poured my heart and soul into this organization. As I look back on it, I wouldn't change anything that I did.
Now I will focus my full attention on the upcoming season at Tri-Cities Prep, and look forward to leading them.
I certainly wish the Fever players all the best in their upcoming play-off game Monday night against Wyoming".
The Fever organization chooses not to add comments to the above other than to encourage the support of the players who have worked so hard this season and cheer them on July 10th at the Toyota Center.
