In this day of not taking responsibility Loh is my hero.    Do the right thing is how we should all live.

I agree, but I would consider him more of a hero if he had simply refused to keep Durkin in the first place. He was kind of "retiring under protest", but it would have been more of a statement if he had said "either he goes or I go, right now".  He really got cover for firing the coach from the players and student body, so it was easier to do. If that hadn't happened?

While I think it is correct to note that he didn't stand up and fire Durkin until after the public outcry on the decision gave him cover, maybe that's okay. Acting mostly heroically is still pretty good. And doing the right thing after stewing about it for awhile is also still pretty good.
It's also dangerous to expect our heroes to be perfect. Even the best suffer from being actual humans, with human frailty.

I agree. There also could be some major issues about leaving before the end of the year. We don't know what his contract says.
