Coaching changes thread

[PinellasFB]

Might as well get this off season topic started. 

• IMG Academy just lost it's HC and is now searching for a new HC.  Is this an annual thing with them now?  
• St. Pete Catholic announced new HC Jesse Chinchar, coming from Tarpon Springs and formerly from CAI.  He is apparently bringing with him a bunch of kids who transferred into TSHS when he started coaching there a year ago after CAI folded.  Poor TSHS, live by the sword, die by the sword.  Back to the shit house for you guys.

What are the chances that any of the Cocoa players (especially defensive players) will follow Diesel over to Titusville?

Doubtful. I definitely see Titusville players staying put and some returning. Titusville has the most returning players in Brevard and only lost one of their top LB that transferred to Cocoa
