To Whom It May Concern:
Re: Pete Smolin Football Resignation
THANK YOU, VALLEY VIEW FAMILY!
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure immediately as Head Football Coach of
Valley View High School. For three seasons, I have had the privilege and the honor of working
with the best people around. I have met and spent time with some of the finest young men and
women. In my football experience, I have watched them develop and grow into tremendous
football players and even better adults. No coach could be luckier than I am to have such supportive parents and Supporters who brave hot weather and long drives to unknown places to cheer on the Eagles. We have received fantastic support from the faculty and administration. I couldn’t have a better than this administration who is truly dedicated to the student-athlete and the development of athletics at Valley View High School. I am always going to be in debt to have our Administration and staff for championing our program.
For my coaching staff, there are no words to describe how much I have enjoyed working with
you. You are more than colleagues to me, but my best friends. Any success we have achieved over the past years is clearly due to those fine men who give their hearts and souls to the young men and women of Valley View Football.
I have put everything I have into the program and it has grown from literally nothing and developed into something special. I have no doubt that will continue in the future and I am certain that the players and coaches will take Eagle football to new heights. I have been blessed with great people who were willing to sacrifice to help the program. I thank everyone for their support of the program. Players, I will be here for you during this transition and always with anything I can help you with. I head into a new situation, knowing that Valley View football is going to get better and better each year because that is what is important to the people involved in it. God bless you all and GO EAGLES!
Sincerely,
Pete Smolin
