As of right now, yes, but he reclassified to graduate in 2027, so this is his last year playing high school football. 

Tell you what, or let me ask you this? Have you taken the time to check out how the county you have particular interest in actually handles the hiring process for at-will hires or non-contractual hires. No shooting from the hip type answers accepted, I suggest you provide a answer supported with actual reciepts. You might find its not the simple process your mind has allowed you to think it is...................noimsayin?

For those who did not watch Josh’s interview with Scott Jamison, FHSAA Associate Executive Director, after yesterday’s Board of Director’s meeting, they discussed the two main business items: Merging of Rural teams into Class 1A (Approved) Creation of FHSAA Independent League (Approved) Two other items of football interest were discussed in the interview: Going 100% to MaxPreps ratings:  Approved 13-1 by Athletic Directors’ Advisory Committee.  Now goes to Board of Directors, and, if approved (seems likely), will go into effect this coming season. Status of Open Division:  Definitely coming this year.  Will likely be tweaked from current 8-team, double-elimination proposal, since double-elimination doesn’t make sense for football.  Could be 8 teams, 12 teams, or (?).  TBD.   

How is this going to affect the hiring and firing process?  Would the school board now do that? Will principals no longer have a say in the decision making process?  School boards, as an elected board, are by nature, political.  If several members of the school board are alums or supporters of a particular school, what keeps them from funding or showing favoritism to one school at the expense of others?
