Coaching Turnover Numbers by County at Public Schools This Season

[OldSchoolLion]

Approximately half of all public school head coaches at teams in Classes 1A-8A can be found in one of the 10 counties below.  Below are the number of new public school coaches this season in each of these counties and the percentage of annual turnover that represents.  

Of 210 head coaching slots at public schools in these 10 counties, 61 are now filled by new coaches.  That represents 29%. One has to wonder if it will become increasingly difficult in the future to find programs with coaches in place more than a few years.  We hear a lot about the "gig economy" in the Corporate world.  Is that the new reality for hs coaching as well?  

Brevard-7 new coaches (14 public schools) 50%

Lee-6 new coaches (15 public schools) 40%

Palm Beach-8 new coaches (22 public schools) 36%

Broward-9 new coaches (29 public schools) 31%

Duval-5 new coaches (16 public schools) 31%

Hillsborough-8 new coaches (27 public schools) 30%

Polk-4 new coaches (15 public schools) 27%

Orange-5 new coaches (20 public schools) 25%

Miami-Dade-7 new coaches (35 public schools) 20%

Pinellas-2 new coaches (17 public schools) 12%

For Brevard, John Wilkinson left Cocoa to coach his son who will be playing at New Smyrna. Can't blame him really when his wife teaches at NSBHS and his son plays football there. He was driving 45 or so miles to coach at Cocoa.
