To clarify, in his own words, Grbac said "I am pursuing a business opportunity that precludes me from giving full attention to my coaching duties," said Grbac in a news release sent by the school. "I'm also continuing to work toward my master's degree in theology from St. Mary's Seminary. I just can't do justice to all these efforts simultaneously." Let's not make it sound like he's leaving coaching to devote himself to the seminary.

Bottom line, the program was on the rebound, but not fast enough so they fired Sowers and hired Elvis. In 2 years he won as many football games as his predecessor in the previous 2 years (7). That's not much in the way of improvement.
In his only year as AD/HC their volleyball coach resigned (2 state titles) and Elvis fired their boys basketball coach, Babe Kwasniak (3 state titles) and had police on site to escort him out of the building. Babe is a VASJ alum, West Point Grad, and Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army. And his family watched him leave this school with cops on either arm.
Elvis moved back to the area after his NFL career, but his son went to Ignatius & daughter to Gilmore. So the leadership of VASJ hired a guy to fix their football program & lead their athletic department who didn't see fit to send his own children there.
Dan Larlham at CVCA would be a PERFECT candidate for this job, but I respect him too much as a coach to think of him working at a place that treats people like this.
