2017 Head Coaching Changes

Recommended Posts


Vernon has announced the hire of a basketball coach from Georgia as their new head football coach and AD.

:blink:

That is very interesting.  I wonder if he will be coaching basketball also.  You used to see that in the old days at small schools where one guy would be the HC for football, basketball, and baseball.

Mandarin head coach found a new home (per FootballScoop):

 

Lincoln (FL): Quinn Gray will be the new head coach of the program. Gray recently stepped down at Mandarin HS (FL), citing wanting to spend more time with his family.

Regarding Vernon: the HC has football coaching experience has been an assistant for a few squads. I believe he was an assistant football coach and the basketball HC at his last stop.

Yes there was an article in the Panama City News Herald. He is from Bristol(Liberty County) and has been an assistant both at Liberty and at Blountstown.  Looks to be a solid hire.

whats the deal with mandarin and manatee coaches stepping down this close to spring football?

 

you would think they would have decided this sooner, kinda seems selfish to step down this late as you put those programs scrambling to find a new coach before spring football begins

Manatee is a very political place that does not tolerate mediocrity for very long. The consensus was that Booth was not doing his job, at least not up to "Manatee standards." Any departure there should be viewed through that light. Now the truth is that other programs, such as Braden River, have come on at Manatee's expense and it is unclear whether a coaching change will reverse that. But, be that as it may, I don't think the powers that be will accept that without a fight to keep the program relevant.

Neither situation was selfish.

 

Mandarin coach got a great gig but wasn't going to resign until he got the job -- almost everyone does that whether in coaching or not.

 

John Booth is remaining as HC through the spring so not selfish either.

 hmm that a good point, just seems bad for the programs to have to fill this spot with a short timetable to have a coach starting in the spring so that they are not put behind the rest of the pack heading into the season

Earl Little stepped down from his Westminster Christian coaching position to take a position on the FIU staff w/ Butch Davis:

Not sure of the circumstances but Miami Jackson once had Little. I believe Jackson would be doing a lot better and be a lot more stable if Little were still there.

    • The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship 
    • Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available 
    • I’m glad those recruiting rules don’t apply to Broward & Dade county…….
    • Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.  
    • Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.
