As for the best jobs open or that have a coaching change.
I see the Greene County job and North Polk as being the best two, Greene County has quite a bit returning and North Polk seems like it could grow into a really good 3A program as they have had a lot of success at the 2A level. Union is right behind these two, it's a really good job in a nice area, but the cupboard isn't very full as they graduated a really big senior class, but they have had it rolling there with a good kids program. Tipton could be a really good job, but they are a program that has just never seemed to get over the hump. Cherokee can be a really good job but has also been a program that has struggled, but is a place that you can win at. The Roosevelt job isn't an easy 4A job but it also isn't the hardest, I think Moore could have success there. Mason City is a very tough 4A job being the smallest 4A school and also being very isolated and I'm sure lose kids to Newman and Clear Lake all the time, now if they would drop down to 3A which could happen that could make that job a little more manageable. Ottumwa is very similar to Mason City but probably even tougher job and with almost no chance of moving down to 3A, but they have had past success in the 90s and early 2000s so maybe the right person could get it going. Montezuma is a good 8 man job. Sibley I don't know a lot about, but small school NW Iowa is really tough. Starmont if open could be a nice job but they have really been struggling to get kids out. North Butler which goes with Clarksville seems to have many of the same problems with numbers. Maq Valley could be a winning program but again don't have the numbers. Finally I would say that North Mahaska is the toughest job, they really should have dropped down to 8 man, it is kind of sad to see with all the success they have had as a program.
It does seem a bit odd, but at the same time, I think they have been around .500 for the last decade or so. As someone else stated, the schedule week in and week out would be tough. BF, Carlisle, ADM, Ballard, DCG etc etc are all going to be above average-good year in and year out. That is not even taking into effect the best teams in 3A aren't even from the metro area. Is the area nice, affluent, and growing rapidly? Yes. But the football job itself would be a tough IMO.I'm not sure why the NP coach would resign from a job like that...
Heard Taking early retirement and yes were Co head Coaches , one of which had retired from teaching a few years back.Hinton is open
Sounds like the Lewis Central announcement is coming soon!Greene County has been filled by an assistant coach from Panorama HS. Any other news out there?
Brandon Krusey hired at Mason City, had great success at North Tama, did very well at Grundy Center and Independence, and was starting to get things moving in the right direction at Davenport North. I would say that North and Mason City are similar jobs in many ways so it'll be interesting to see how he does there.
Was he just there 1 year?
Yes, he taught P.E and is retiring from teaching also.Lewis Central is now officially open according to their Twitter page. Coach Duggan is retiring. Was he a teacher in the district?
