Lake Gibson Head Coach Resigns Suddenly

Recommended Posts

Defensive coordinator Kyle Worden will be the interim head coach while Lake Gibson conducts its search.  Hopefully this doesn't tip the scales of balance in the city and hopefully the LG kids stay in place.  However, going into the summer without an HBC is not a good situation for LG to be in.

Holy cow!

The Lake Gibson head coach that recently resigned from that position is now the head coach at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

Keith Barefield Jr will be the new LG head coach, the program announced this morning. 

Appears to be an assistant on staff and formerly on staff at Southeastern University when his father was the HC. 

Former defensive analyst at Louisiana Lafayette and OC at Quincy (D2)

Given the timing of the former HBC's departure, I think LG did the right thing in the circumstances they were faced with.

Both of Gibson's coordinators were going to be new this year, as neither was on the staff last year. Now, they also add in a new head coach. So, heavy turnover for them. Which is odd given the talent they have coming back. It does seem they have a strong team mentality, so this may well make them stronger as a team. But, with so many new faces in key places on the staff, those coaches are going to have to be good.  We're pretty sure Worden is, so we'll see about the new HC and OC.

    • 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
