Kosmo was both interested and sad to see that Birmingham Marian head coach Irick Gardner announcing on Sunday that he was going to resign as head coach. It was interesting in that Kosmo is still a bit confused about the reasoning. Obviously it's something behind the scenes, which really isn't anybody's business but Marian's. Regardless, it was also sad because Gardner has been a class act and a great coach for so many years, and Kosmo was happy to see he got a chance to coach traditional state powerhouse Marian. Of course, he led the Mustangs to four appearances in the state championship game and two state titles, in the process helping Marian become the first Class A school from the county to ever win a state volleyball title. If he has a change of heart, it will be nice to see him stay at one of the state's best programs. If he doesn't, no doubt he'll end up somewhere else and lead another program to prominence because of what a great coach he is.
