Alumnus of Pocahontas High School, Tommy Jordan, recently shared a heartfelt post on Facebook about a former high school coach.

Tommy is originally from Pocahontas, Arkansas, and attended Pocahontas High School before studying at Arkansas State University.

He admitted that he had previously posted about the coach’s harsh behavior during his school years.

Moreover, he mentioned the incident as verbal abuse that wouldn’t be tolerated today.

However, after learning that the coach had been tragically killed by his wife, Tommy deleted the original post and publicly apologized.

He expressed deep regret for speaking out in anger and asked for forgiveness from the coach’s family and friends.

Tommy Jordan Deleted a Previous Post He Had Made About His High School Coach’s Alleged Verbal Abuse!

In his forgiveness post, that he had let painful memories cloud his judgment.

He said he should have kept those feelings between himself, rather than airing them online, saying:

I regret that I made that post. If any of his family or friends saw it I apologize and I ask for your forgiveness. I try my best to keep my thoughts about my personal issues with someone between me and my maker. I should have handed that one over to our lord and wiped my hands of it.

Tommy acknowledged the coach’s tragic death and the weight of his own words. At the end of his post, he asked for forgiveness, saying:

Again, Im sorry and I beg for your forgiveness. The man was just recently killed by his wife. I wouldn’t wish what he went through on.

In Tommy’s post, many people praised him for his courage and sincerity and said it takes strength to admit mistakes in the public domain.

One of the commentators wrote:

Great Post!

It would have been easy to delete it and go on like most would do. However, you made a clear and personal statement that was heartfelt. We need more of that in our country and especially our youth!

It’s easy to hide behind the screen and say things you would not in public and then delete them instead of apologize. Well done.

However, one person responded to the post, highlighting more of a confrontational mindset, saying:

Sounds like KARMA finally caught up with him. Stop being weak! It’s your page. Post what you want. Express your 1st amendment right. Everyone wants to say I’m sorry instead of F++K you. Stand on your square and don’t give a damn!

While he didn’t mention detailed information about the coach, he simply expressed regret for his earlier words and asked for forgiveness.
