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.

    • Yes, in schools there are typically pretty clear and strict rules around who can be a volunteer for much of anything beyond helping pick up a piece of trash. Generally, the school district wants to cover its rear from volunteers who might commit crimes. But, there has to be some discernment here. Unfortunately, reasoning and decision making are not often emphasized in schools (or in much of society, either).
    • People loathe the fact that TFA has never accomplished anything of note on the field, shoves their religious "purity" in everyone's face, and then proceeded to recruit a bunch of star players out of the blue. It's also a private school with a lot of wealthy families shelling out big bucks for tuition. Everyone knows there are very few wealthy kids attending Northwestern, or any other public school in Dade county. I'm not that familiar with the accusations against TFA. If they really are the same as what Teddy has done for the Bulls, I suppose the consequences should be the same. But, judging from the response I've seen across social media, I think the consensus is the consequences should be zero.
    • The reference to communism- a very real threat in 2025 given the fact that the three largest cities in the country all figure to have communist mayors come November- applies to Bridgewater's situation because his voluntary donations are a problem only because he wanted the funds to go as he sees put, rather than given to another entity which will distribute funds equivalently (after having fraudulently "lost track" some portion of them). And, related, is the fact that other opposition to Bridgewater is rooted in the desire to see all schools have an equally distributed share of talent, which is much less likely if benefits are dispersed unequally. All of this is being addressed through the awful, communist "equity lens". It should be noted that the communist or "equity" based approach denies any and all outcomes that are not even on the grounds that they are necessarily disciminatory. When executed with fidelity, the "equity" approach means the score at the end of all games must be equal. Stupid and insane? Obviously. But, it's true.
    • The dude has no idea what the rules are and how things work. Its common sense that If a school can hire a volunteer coach, then they can also fire or suspend a volunteer coach. Now it makes complete sense why he self-incriminated himself by posting a message that included fhsaa rules infractions. I mean c'mon man. 
    • TFA was doing way more than just a few slap on the wrist actions.  They are recruiting around the state and haven't stopped.  MNW probably has an outcry because a coach did it out of the kindness of his heart and love for the kids.  Hard to look at that in the same way as TFA which is all business and gives zeros shits about their kids. To be fair, TFA kids give zero shits about their school as it is a mutual business decision.  However, rules are rules and Teddy broke the rules so consequences are due no matter the intent.
