With the hiring of Coach Hooks at MCC some key pieces have transferred in including one of the top receivers in the class of 24.

Also Heritage made a key positional coaching hire that has attracted talent as well.

Look for more DBs to transfer to Rockledge as they just hired a top DB coach with deep ties around Central Florida and brevard

I know I shouldn't be surprised by how many openings there are and most likely I am probably missing a bunch where the coaches change and they promote internally or it is a small private school. But I am always surprised by how many openings happen from year to year. Considering how much the job expectations are not keeping pace with the money that comes with it, I am surprised that we keep finding people to fill these jobs. 

How would you sell your school/team/community to an outside hire?

The talent exist here. We just need to keep it home. Given the past 24 years, that should not be too difficult to do. Just assure the kids that the trend will continue, and that attention will be given to get those who have the ability to play at the next level. 

In that sense, Apopka is blessed.

    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here. 
    • As a general rule, I am not a big supporter of unions in the public sector in particular.  They certainly had a place in the private sector during the industrialization of our nation, but today not so much.  I have no first-hand experience with unions representing our local law enforcement or firefighters but my interaction with the teachers union over several years in that profession is the basis of my opinion.
