Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
You know those crazy news stories you hear sometimes — like the ones that come on at the very end of the local news or the ones we post here in our "Around the Web" feature at bakersfield.com? It never seems like those news stories hit very close to home. Well, for some folks in Clovis, that's about to change. Clovis West has hired Gary Joe Kinne as its new football coach. (You might recall that the Golden Eagles forced out coach Marty Martin after he went 9-4-1 and lost to Bakersfield High in the Division I section title game. Martin, who has since moved on to Kerman, has filed a lawsuit against the Clovis Unified School District.) Thing about Kinne is, he was in one of those strange news stories a few years back. Three years ago, he was shot by a disgruntled parent in his Canton (Texas) High office. Yeah, that's right, shot by a parent over a silly game. Suffered severe damage to his liver but survived. Yeah, I'd say he's brave enough to take on the Clovis West...
