DJ Shockley, who’s most known for his football days at UGA, has a dad, who’s most known for his teaching, his coaching, and his ability to hook up with the faculty.
A North Clayton High School student was trying to fix the football coach’s computer last month when he stumbled upon racy photos of an assistant principal. He downloaded them to his I-pod and started showing them to other students during school. The photos, taken by the football coach, found their way onto the Internet and prompted and internal investigation.
The investigation uncovered an intimate relationship and attempted cover-up between Donald Shockley, the school’s football coach and athletics dirtector, and assistant principal Josette Franklin, whose duties included oversight of athletics. By the time the investigation ended, Shockley, whose son is Atlanta Falcons quarterback D. J. Shockley, resigned. So did Franklin.
During the latest probe, Shockley acknowledged an intimate consensual relationship with Franklin, according to a school board investigative report. Shockley and Franklin initially told investigators the photos were unknowingly on a disc given to Shockley by Franklin by mistake. In her written statement, Franklin said she thought the disc contained pictures of her children and did not realize they also included pictures “of my anniversary celebration with my husband.”
Right. “Anniversary celebration with my husband.” I completely understand both being fired — you just can’t have staff-to-staff relationships — but what about the nosy kid who went snooping through the computer? When did he become such a hero?
