Coaching changes


DB4

Recommended Posts


All these players hoppin from school to school reminds me of my son's teams when we were stationed at military bases in the 80's.  He played 2 years at Camp Lejeune High, NC,  then 2 years at the base HS in Naples, Italy.  Coaches never knew who'd try out,  or even show up for the game,  since so many kids were uprooted when parents got transferred both in and out at any time.  Frequently in mid-season players would be transferred out,  and at times a new player would transfer in, show up in mid-season.   Coaches just adapted and overcame.  Italy was strange since all away games required a USAF cargo plane flight ... to Germany, England, Sicily, or Spain,  sleeping overnight in empty barracks,  eating in the chow hall with the troops,  once rolling over to the field in a convoy of green 6-by trucks.  From K thru 12th grade my son attended 8 different schools around the world.

No it is not. Admin wont just take any kid good at athletics, and its still expensive. TC was very good back before transfer rules and before a more academic focus. Different school now.

You know, I do vaguely recall hearing that one of the reasons why Brantley left was because he spent more time fighting the administration than coaching on the field.  Interesting hire in Shane Matthews, I don't believe I'm familiar with the name.

I can't find anywhere where Matthews was hired but he is a former gator

 

He also has a son playing qb at Gainesville if I'm thinking of right person 

 

If so we may see a transfer happen there

Benjamin Coach hired

Newman and Pulaski part ways
The article seems weird to me. I can't tell if he was let go or if he chose to no longer coach, the language is very vague and very positive. I mean he was 10-9 so he isn't lighting up the win and loss columns.  Usually, if they are "parting ways" than usually he was fired or he is going to someplace else. But usually you announce you are going to someplace else first.

Thats awesome. Best way to beat your competition is to be the one INTERVIEWING them, then tell the principal you have no good candidates. I hate it when athletic directors hire themselves. Its dirty. Im sure all the coaches that interviewed were very happy to waste their time and be made a fool of. This assures this school that went 0 fer..will be a dumpster fire for years to come.

    • 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
