2017 Head Coaching Changes

Recommended Posts


Jay Sobke is the new Head Coach at Celebration. He was the interim coach at Harmony last season.

 

J is a good guy.  I worked with him at Lockheed Martin for 2 years and we are good friends now.  I wish him well.  He is a good up and coming coach... I think he can make that program better and maybe move on to a bigger better school eventually.

Hudson High School has pulled it's offer to Will McDonald.The article says he didn't follow up on paperwork. But the AD says they have a candidate in mind already, so it makes me think that they "settled" for McDonald which is terrible. Feel bad for the guy.

.

Not the case on the insurance job, but he indeed took a big job with a big company and it was enough to pull him out of coaching altogether.

another team in a bad spot and having to fill coaching spot in a rush, they might fall apart and appears odds are north marion will be only playoff team from that district bc Eastside lucky to win a game and now belleview might not be in the best spot to repeat playoff appearance from last year

Chris Kokell has stepped down at Olympic Heights. Assistant Baz Alfred will take over:

Good read. Kind of a surprise to me after the OH program was revitalized last year, but I respect Koskell's decision and timing of the resignation. BOL to him and new HC Alfred taking over what should be another sound year for Olympic Heights.

Hope this is for the better we play them for homecoming

The problem with Belleview is that , not only is Brantley the only real HC they have had since the 2004 team, but that 2016 team was Senior laden and is about to graduate. We play them in the first game of the season. So, we will see if they are still as good as last season. I kind of doubt it as they just might revert to their old habits.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
