Coaching Openings 23-24
- Thread starter PNation
- Start date
Don't know if Mt. Vernon has officially been posted yet, but it made Twitter yesterday that he is indeed going to CCA.
I simply thought that CCA at some point would want some continuity with their coaching staff. The fact that program hasn't been able to win has to lie at the feet of the community and administration.
The guy has been around the program, knows the game, has a good pool for assistants. Having said that, it seems like they found a quality hire.
Good points, I keep waiting for them to start winning more. They have some potential.
Des Moines LIncoln hired an interim. Can't believe they don't think they could find a coach in March with brand new facilities and an all-state running back returning.
But alas. Des Moines North also hired an interim.

Maybe they will form a co-op team with lincoln, Roosevelt, hoover, and North. That way they can compete with the burbs. They already share a stadium. Just a thought
Mt Vernon just hired Brad Meester. He has been the OC for the last 3-4 years. Being a retired NFL player probably didn't hurt the resume either!
Lance Pedersen does live in Marengo. That was likely a big factor, but I also heard that he gets to coach his youngest son now, which would make any dad move schools for that opportunity. He'll do a good job there and I imagine it won't take long for him to turn things around. They just got the Poynton kid from Solon as a transfer, so that should help too. He was their leading rusher at almost 1000 yds and is only a soph.

I think coaches are looking long and hard from how the previous coach was basically let go. I hate to say it but their seems to be to much Thomas influence in this coaching job and that is not helping finding a good coach let alone someone who wants to run their program and not how it was run in the past. As far at the NP coach I heard he took a job at Maq Valley witch is an interesting hire as I don't think any connection there but I don't think he was a teacher at NP or maybe he doesn't teach at all witch is not uncommon anymore for coaches.
