2020-21 Coaching Openings
- Thread starter Jayhawkin
- Start date
Erik Link (University of Missouri through App State) turned them around. Mitch Moore took over for the Roosevelt program after Link went to app state
Finalists for Roosevelt job:
Matt Dillon-Fort Dodge St. Edmond HC
Khalil Carter-WDM Valley Assistant
Ernst Brun-Former ISU Tight End & Roosevelt Assistant
Jared Barnett-Former ISU Quarterback/QB Coach at Tennessee-Martin
Duane Matthes-Nodaway Valley HC
The rumor is that Carter is the leader in the clubhouse and they want to keep Brun & Barnett as assistants.

Earlier in this thread, it was stated Case from South Central Calhoun was in the running at Roosevelt. Any idea if that was just a rumor or what happened to him being considered?
That's funny I haven't heard any of those names but I have heard former Iowa HS Head Coach Randy Schrader or Baxter HC Rob Luther are the favorites. With the dark horse being Coach Carter from Valley.
Coach Case pulled his name out before finalist were announced.
Case made a lot of heavy demands early on in the negotiation process that Roosevelt and DMPS weren't willing to take him up on. He asked to teach half the day and coach football the other half, needed a job for his wife in the building, and wanted to be paid twice as much as the highest paid DMPS head coach (they all get the same coaching contract).
Expect an announcement from Roosevelt sometime next week.

Now that the first of the year is here, the next 8-10 weeks are usually full of movement. This seems to be a lot prior to the new year, so maybe it wont be as robust. I think the Carroll job will draw some interest, as well as WG (location). This obviously goes without saying, but the WNW job is the crown jewel.
Waukee website is advertising for a head football coach at Waukee High. Looks like Carlson is heading to NW.
I don't know, I really don't think any of the other candidates truly stick out, I think the biggest thing will be continuing the momentum that this program seems to be gaining. I truly don't know the makeup of the school but I know that others on here have said that if there is one DSM public school that could compete with the "Big Boys" it would be Roosevelt.
I don't disagree with you, but experience at the D1 level (FCS) could be a draw, he is also younger. I am not sure how old Coach Dillon is, but you have to wonder how long he would want to stay, and most of his experience is with private schools which is different than this job. The other candidate with HC experience on the list to me seems like a twitter coach looking for the next thing without really accomplishing much at the job they have.
Possibly could be a draw. No clue about the other HC, I'm not sure what a twitter coach is, I think we should assume that people who are in education and especially those that dedicate their time to coaching are in it for the right reasons. Just my opinion though.
I saw this last night on Twitter. A very heartfelt letter. I can't imagine the candidate pool that those jobs will get and I have no idea who they would end up settling on. This job is open after being filled for 25 years and I imagine they wont be open again for another 25 years
