Washington coach Joe Kennedy, who was reinstated last year after a long court battle for praying on the field, has resigned and is claiming retaliation.

Coach Joe Kennedy told Fox News Digital why he's written a book after years of fighting for his First Amendment rights

Kennedy said other reasons factored into his decision to step down from his assistant football coaching position at Bremerton High School, including that he needed to care for an ailing family member out of state. He had been living full-time in Florida, and before the first game last Friday he said he didn't know if he'd continue coaching.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Bremerton School District for response to Kennedy’s claims of retaliation.
