SHERIDAN, Ind. (WISH) — Bud Wright, who is in his 59th season as coach of Sheridan High School football, has been suspended.
Blackhawks athletic director Beth DeVinney on Friday suspended the Indiana football coaching icon, News 8 has learned.
Sources told News 8 that the suspension was due to insubordination, but Wright declined to discuss the reason.
Wright told News 8 that he is unsure when he’ll be back on the sidelines, but he will not be at Friday night’s game at Clinton Central. He also noted he’s doing fine after missing the first game of the season for an injury he received during a preseason scrimmage.
News 8 reached out late Friday afternoon to DeVinney and Sheridan Community Schools Superintendent David Mundy, and left messages on their cellphones.
