( MIDDLETOWN, OH ) -- The head football coach of the Middletown High School Middies has resigned amid death threats and parent bullying he says came his way.
In his resignation letter, Lance Engleka cited an "unsafe environment" coming from "misguided community perspective on the irrational importance of winning high school football games, unrealistic expectations from parents related to their son's abilities and future prospects."
Engleka has been the head football coach since March of 2016.
