Coach Who Got Job Back After Supreme Court Ruled He Could Pray on Field Resigns

A high school football coach in Washington state who won his job back after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled he could pray on the field resigned Wednesday after just one game back.

Assistant Bremerton High School coach Joe Kennedy made the announcement on his website, citing several reasons, including that he needed to care for an ailing family member out of state.

He had been living full time in Florida before the football season started last Friday.
