The player-shoving, drunken driver New Berlin Eisenhower football coach is calling it quits.
Clint Grochowski is resigning as a coach, but he's keeping his day job.
New Berlin -- Eisenhower High School's head football coach has resigned from his coaching positions after a tumultuous few months that included a drunken driving citation and an incident in which he pushed a Pewaukee High School player at a football game.
Clint Grochowski, 31, received a citation Nov. 4 charging him with operating while intoxicated in Manitowoc County. A deputy found him on the scene, bleeding, after he rolled his car onto a highway median, according to a report from the Manitowoc County Sheriff Department.
The New Berlin School District had been investigating the incident but decided to not take any disciplinary action against Grochowski because of his resignation, Superintendent Paul Kreutzer said Monday.
"It's an unfortunate situation," Kreutzer said. "We support his decision and wish him well."
Grochowski will continue his role as a middle and high school Spanish teacher at Eisenhower but resigned his coaching responsibilities, which included assistant varsity track and middle school boys basketball.
The New Berlin School District didn't need to make a decision about meting out any discipline against Grochowski because he resigned from his coaching duties.
That was the easiest way to handle it.
It's a little weird though that Grochowski apparently isn't deemed fit to coach kids but he's fit to teach them.
I suppose Spanish students don't get into situations where they head-butt the teacher, so Grochowski's way of interacting isn't an issue in the classroom setting.
