The Huntsville Jr. C Hawks have fired their head coach and general manager, Don Monahan, and assistant coach Jordan Monahan. The father-son team had taken over the Hawks this season but only managed one win in their first eight games.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

The decision was reached after a meeting of the Hawks’ Board of Directors, which voted to make the change to take the team in a different direction. Speculation is the new coach will be Karl Carnduff.<\/p>\n

Don Monahan said he accepted the board\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m okay with it,\u201d he said on Wednesday, May 31. \u201cI\u2019m not the first coach nor will I be the last to be let go by a team. To my replacement I say good luck.<\/p>\n

\u201cManagement just said they were moving forward and that they needed to change the direction of the team. They thanked us for our time and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hawks are a young team this year, having lost six senior players from last year\u2019s squad. It was a rebuilding year according to Monahan, and that will not change.<\/p>\n
