Joe Palka, the most successful coach in Saline High School football history, is stepping down.
Palka, who was once assistant principal and assistant athletic director at Saline High School and who is now a physical education teacher, is retiring from education at the end of January. He’s also leaving his high school football coaching position.
Palka will become the next coach of Adrian Collegee Football. A press conference is planned for Monday.
Palka was hired in 2012 by former Athletic Director Rob White. He immediately transformed a middle-of-the-road football program into a state powerhouse.
More to come.

Partly Cloudy , with a high of 57 and low of 39 degrees. Partly Cloudy for the morning, cloudy during the afternoon, partly cloudy during the evening, clear overnight.
The city hiring process doesn't pass the sniff test. The schools have issues too. This is looking systemic.
What is going on at city hall? Like the schools, we need independent investigations to reveal the facts and the truths and a review of the activities being conducted publicly and behind closed door. Impropriety seems to be real but we won’t know without an independent investigation.
Correction: “Tremblay DOES NOT know Rice. Rice simply knows of Tremblay and the incredible work he’s done in service to his country.” My husband served with him more than 10 years ago.
Congrats to the Saline boys and girls teams on their impressive finishes at regionals! It’s clear all that hard work and dedication paid off.
