Probably couldn't get kids to transfer in like they had. Just a guess. If they're depending on just the talent in Weston to win games, they're going to be what they've been the last few seasons.

Knowing how his offenses worked out at his previous schools and as a UCF alum, I'm hyped for it.

John Carroll has hired Vero Beach assistant Mickey Groody, who will also start serving as the school's AD next academic year. 

The 29 year old is an Aquinas alum and was an All-American punter at FAU. 

In six seasons at Vero, he coached special teams and RBs. Was the freshman HC for three years and is the flag football HC.

Groody is an excellent coach, he should do well there, being an STA alum he knows the culture expected at a private Catholic school like John Carroll. 

John Carroll/Vero have had ties for a while as Coach J previously coached there and they have mined the Vero staff previously for their head coach search.

Is there normally this much activity with coaches departing and coming in Florida schools? If the activity is more this year than in the past what do you feel is the reason for it? Are the coaches getting just like the players, moving all over the place on a whim?  :unsure:

the pay sucks and its not a factor til you see georgia, south carolina, some of alabama and texas coaches making 100k a year and dont teach, much if any.

the admin is either focused on band and the fine arts and dont care about athletics so there is no support....

or

the admin is overly focused on athletics/football and after 2 years they want a new coach because you didnt win enough.

and

the admin changes every 2 or 3 years, new principal/ad that didnt hire the fb coach and his staff wants his own people in there....

the days of staying at 1 spot for 10-15-20 years are over.  partly because of the admin moving around so much, the other part coaches are scared to death to stay very long for those above reasons.  better to quit a job than get fired.  sometimes.

my thoughts.

At least 20% HC turnover each off-season in Florida

Normally, when the HC goes, do some or all of the assistants also leave? I imagine that the assistants leaving may in many cases be a bigger loss than the HC. Since I'm of the opinion that 80% of the success of a team is the coaching and not the players, losing a HC and let's say a bang up DC could cripple a team that depends a great deal on defense.

Reggie Crume has been hired to be the new Clearwater Calvary Christian head football coach.  Coach Crume has had success in his previous stints at Tampa Alonso and Palm Harbor University.   The cubbard is pretty bare at Calvary, but if anybody can turn a program around it's Coach Crume.

Dedrick Bell's prior head coaching experience - three years at Marengo Alabama, a 1A school with a HS enrollment of about 80: (2011, 3-7; 2012, 0-11, 2013, 6-6.

I have no doubt he was the most qualified candidate. LOLOLOLOL

...a related article.  He also was head coach at another Alabama high school 10-15 years ago.

Sometimes we have to look at the big picture.  Even if they could get the hs coach with the best record in FL to come there, it might not be in the best interest of the program if that coach turns around and leaves in 2-3 years.   IMO they need someone who is going to stay there for 5+ years and build a foundation for the future.

      Lake Minneola New HC Quit After 3 days

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

      Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

      Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.

      They definitely would have been competitive. They had a really good and really young OL coming back. They also had settled into a pattern of getting plenty of transfers.
