Everyone is quick to blame this girl. I’m a teacher at SHS and knew both quite well. Yeah he’s a “nice guy” and a good coach, but a disgrace to the teaching profession. He’s reputation for picking them young is disgusting, he’s been known to have relationships with married women and teenage girls the night after graduation. Students got an A just for being in class, no wonder everybody liked him. He was too interested in being the guy all the kids liked rather than being the adult. Yeah, maybe she was drunk, so what, does that have to do with it, he wasn’t! Yeah maybe her parents didn’t know where she was, so what, how many parents know where there teenagers are every minute? So, she wanted to have sex with him, so what, she’s a teenager with raging hormones and he was 30!! SICK!!!!!!!! Mistake, NO, he knew what he was doing and he was the adult! No matter what the circumstances, he was clearly STUPID and a PREDATOR! No matter how you look at it, it’s wrong. READ YOUR BIBLE PEOPLE! Did he admit it, sure he did because he his cool as ice and thought he could talk his way out of it. Maybe while he’s serving his time in jail (4 years) he will find out what it’s like to be taken advantage of, I mean he’s a really “nice guy” and has a flirteous smile and all. I’m glad he’s out of the teaching profession, hope my daughter never has a teacher like him!
He is a very good guy, I met him from North Mesquite when he coached there. I Graduated 2008 and know him because he came to every Varsity Baseball game we had. Of course as everyone knows we are human, and one thing we all share in common is the FACT that we all make mistakes, although some bigger than others. Although on the flip side of it, some of us have consciences and some of us don’t. The man admitted it knowing he had done something wrong, proving he is not a terrible person without a conscience. It is completely unreasonable that they call it sexual assault, when both were willing to take part in the action. Beside the fact what were the parents doing when this “poor little fifteen year old girl” was out drinking and called Mr. McCoy in distress wanting a ride. Hello! Keep a better watch on your daughter and these things might not happen. Someone call Child Protective Services because their not doing their job, I mean, isn’t she a “child” or is it just the media that says that to make the story sound a little bit more juicy and “Sick”. He definately made a bad choice but I hate how people blow things out of proportion. Good Luck Coach McCoy.

Wait until you have a daughter.
Coach McCoy was the best coach a student could of had.i had him at North Mesquite.Honestly ppl make mistakes…..and obviously ppl don’t realize it.Yah he should be punished.But i mean, he felt guilty and turned himself in.He realized what ever he did was wrong.Jail time? I think thats over doing it.The student knew what she was doing as well…….think about it.

Think about it. . .he’s 30, she was 15 and drunk. . .he knew what he was doing, she didn’t. . .hmm. . .I’m guessing your about 17 or 18 based on your maturity level in your comment. . .only a boy would not understand why this was so wrong!
yes he should go to jail. he did whatever he did with a 15 year old girl even with consent he should know better, and people who have little girls feel the same way. his life may be ruined but its his fault he needs to deal with the consequences. he knew not to be poundin on little girls trying to get nothches in his belt.
I knew Jeremy from school and I agree he should have been smarter. I don’t think he should serve prison time over this it’s enough that his career is OVER!!! People don’t realize this will haunt him for the rest of his life if convicted he will be a registered sex offender for life.
How come they took this guy off http://www.parkercountytx.com/CrimSearch/crimfrmd.htm?
He was on there the week this came out in the Springtown paper. There has been nothing fuurther on this story by the media, why is this I wonder? I think he’s gonna get past this with the help of a slick lawyer unfortunately.
I know Jeremy very well, and I hate to say it but we trust our kids in the teachers hands, not to go sleep with them but to protect them from the sickos in the world. Minor Girls do not care what is going on, and they will feed off of any attention they can get… But on the flip side of the coin Jeremy should have been smart enough to stay away from a student, he is an Educator not a College Kid anymore… He knew better, all teachers do.. Since he confessed and did it, he just wanted a piece of a**, and he got it, now his career is gone and will be known as the Teacher that slept with his student, well worth it…. On the news all the time, Wake up McCoy quite thinking with the head of your di*k and not common sense….
hello what girl is going to call their coach when they are drunk……. SHE WAS WANTING IT!!!!! i used to go to school at Springtown High School. I graduated in 2008. Coach McCoy didnt seem like a bad person.
I know this man real well, great guy. You never know what is going on sometimes even being a close friend. I agree that he probably put himself in a situation that would raise huge questions. I hate that if a person is accused it could ruin all that they have worked for. If all of these people on here committed the crimes they are being accused of throw the book at them, also the students that are HS age should be held accountable as well. I am ot saying that the child is at fault however some of these kids know right from wrong as well. From what I understand about the female in question had other relationships with older men before, and I am waiting to see who else is drug through the mud!! Good Luck Big Boy McCoy!!!!
How can anybody defend this guy? Yeah it was probably consentual sex but he’s gotta be smarter than that. Even small-town coaches, with their cockiness & aura of invincibility, can’t get away with stuff like sex with a minor. Judging by what I know about his man-whorish ways from way back when, I’m pretty sure he knew that there was a 99.9999% chance that by picking up a drunk girl in distress that he would get some. And I guess a 0% chance that he would get caught. In a small town. Where word travels fast. And high school girls gossip. Anyways, I guess the only way to avoid this happening again is to do what all my coaches in high school used to say: put some ice on it.
this fool was going out with her! And its not all his fault the girl that messed around with him was a (****)

He did confess. It’s on the Springtown newspapers website. And i know this guy, sounds very in character! he’s very much a manwh***…sad that he has ruined his life for one night of fun!

hopefully, this is a misunderstanding…if it is, his name is already ruined..if he’s innocent I hope his name is cleared in the same manner it was smeared.
I know him and he is a VERY nice guy. Sure he is an adult and doesn’t need to be teaching anymore but jail time??? I know the girls in this town and when are they going to have to be held responsible for their actions? They are all WH***ing around putting it out there and the first fool that bites gets punished. What about the parents of this girl ? How about they be punished too for not doing their part to teach her better? The only way to stop improper teacher/student relationships is to punish ALL involved!!!
As far as it stands he’s innocent until proven guilty or confesses. Don’t judge him, let the court and jury do it.
