Bad news for the Bulls. This guy had that program humming.

The days of a Florida public school coach being at a program 10-20-30-40 years are coming to an end. Get a little success, and you can get more money somewhere else. Can't blame them.........but it's why these programs can't sustain.

Very true. Lakeland is lucky to still have Castle. Although he's sort of aged himself out of college opportunities at this point. Plant is also lucky to have weiner. He took a USF quarterback job six or seven years ago but decided to stay at plant instead.

Weiner is probably the youngest of the "long-timers' left. 

Castle got offers to go elsewhere, but always said he felt at home in Lakeland. One of my biggest fears with Lakeland is what happens when he retires. I'm hoping they can promote from within and keep the stability there.
