tough to win there with former apopka admin and ad. I would think expectations are real high, but they didn't get west orange best kids, nor will they.  3classes, no,seniors and they are 7a, in a growing like a weed area.  Will surpass capacity in 2 to 3 years.

Coaching in those fast growing areas has to be tough.  It really makes the teams that are consistently dominate that much more impressive.

I figured they would struggle this season, but as a head coach, if you take that job, it's definitely more than a one-year project. Unless something else amazing comes along for that coach. Idk the situation, just thinking out loud.

the stink of it all, in my eyes is read the fhsaa post!

no teaching jobs til next fall and no PE.  so who is going to take that and be a lay coach all spring and not have a real chance in the school to build a rapport with faculty or kids at least til next fall.  thats a tough job.  i dont envy the guy who takes over

Short lived at Jackson,  but BOL to Bernice going forward.....Jackson won pretty much all games they were expected to.  I hope this agreement was mutual as it is not like it was a horrible season for Jackson....  They did lose by two to a decent Stranahan team and the rest of their losses are Northwestern, AHP, Cardinal Gibbons, and South Dade. 

What was expected of Jackson this year?

Like you said, I hope she was not forced out, as I feel, based on performance, she deserved at least another year.

This is probably a case of Miami Jackson having too high expectations of their level but honestly i think this was put in motion last year with the second half collapse but they knew they would be criticized if they fired her after only 1 year so probably decided to hold off but i don't think they lost any games they weren't expected to

 

Idk if she becomes a head coach immediately but coordinator is a possibility and then she can work her way up and get another job down the line

Matanzas (FL): Robert Ripley has stepped down as head coach after three seasons.

Land O’ Lakes (FL): Land O’ Lakes HS will begin their search for a new head coach after Thanksgiving Break.

Posted

Island Coast (FL): John Schwochow has been let go as head coach.

I also see on the FHSAA classifieds that Mater Academy has an ad up for a new head coach. So they must have let go of their guy as well.

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
