I don't think it has been announced yet, will let you know if it is official, would be surprised if it is.
This job is becoming a joke! I would never apply there if I was a coach... The administration there has their head so far up their butts. They ran off a coach who was at least consistent and wanted to be there and then had an excellent candidate who was on staff that wanted the job very badly and who more than likely would still be there today but from what I hear they have a school board member who can't stay out of way and an administration who won't tell him to sit down and shut up!
Guess Matt Hughes was letting his outside job get in the way of making sure kids had opportunities at the next level... Not too mention it always seemed like a conflict of interest he was pushing his former Hawkeyes football camp (legends camp) which if I was a player would be the last place I would select to go because there is no real instruction that goes beyond what they already are being taught by their HS coaches.
If I was a HS administrator there is no way I would hire a HC that was not in the building in some capacity.
As a fan of a rival, I have no problem seeing Alburnett struggle. They have had some decent teams in the past. Have not heard of any issues with admin or school board. In fact I just saw something where they ranked as one of the top school districts in Iowa for college preparedness. Know families that go there and they have never mentioned anything. With new facilities it should be a good job. Being they have had success in wrestling you would think they could also field a good football team.
It has worked well in other situations where the HC isn't in the building in some capacity.
Yes, please share your valuable information. (Not you PNation) Last years first year coach accepted a full-time position at another school resulting in the vacancy. He struggled last year with a team comprised of underclassmen. The final game had approximately 2/3 of the players on the field being made up of freshmen and sophomores. Should have loads of players next year in the 9, 10 and 11 classes for a new coach to develop.
I have not changed my handle. I have just joined, I wasn't even aware you could change your handle. Maybe I should come up with something more clever.
You and Pir8dad seem to be more in tune to things there than I am. Fire away. I am interested to hear if some things my buddies told me over the weekend are true or not.
That is correct that he accepted a full-time position at VS. I have not heard if he is involved with the football team this year, but it would not surprise me.
With regards to the comment about a problem in the program due to coaching changes is recapped below:
- Longtime coach separates
- New coach resigns 10 days before season for reasons that I will not discuss on a board
- New Principal/AD steps in for a season due to time
- New Coach hired, lasts one season before accepting FT position at another school
Yes, that is what I had heard this weekend. I had thought that Church was there for a couple years but was wrong. Thanks for straightening that out Pir8dad. The senior class there will have there 5th head coach in their 4 year career. That has to be some sort of state record
From what I heard though was when the long time coach resigned / told he would not be retained there was a assistant on his staff that was well respected and quite capable and most importantly wanted the job and the administration basically went with the shiny object with Feller even though he had the reputation for basically what he got fired for before the start of the season.
Due to the principal and AD (who aren't even there anymore) going for the shiny object in the room meaning Charlie Feller who was a disgrace and should never coach high school athletics, then the consistent coach they had on staff that more than likely would still be there now.
Oh. We must be thinking of two different people. My buddy said there is currently an assistant on staff who they could hire and he would provide stability. Where did the other assistant go? Does he still want the job?
Hmm, I hope not. That guy is an loudmouth know it all. I know a few people from a few of his stops that say he doesn't know half of what thinks he does.
I'm not sure what would make him qualified for the position either.
There's a unbiased opinion tigerlynx lol
I haven't heard much on the coaching front but I did just see that the AD from West Delaware was hired at Liberty High School.

I'm not sure how he is personally (don't shoot the messenger)
From what I heard he has coached college football before, so sounds like one qualifier, as well as being a coordinator at a decent sized high school in Iowa seems like another qualifier.
However, all of this is a guessing game until the job is offered and accepted... May be someone totally different.

Tremendous career by Coach Schenck, not too often you see coaches spend almost 3 decades at one place.
Actually not sure who that is, that is not the name I have heard... The name I have heard was a college coordinator for a number of years and coached for several years at CPU.
However, I will say it sure sounds like you track this one coach particular closely, sounds like no axe to grind there.
