It wouldn't surprise me if Ankeny hired from within, maybe even Coach Nelson's son. But I think there are some qualified assistants there. But at the same time I am sure they will have a quality applicants from the outside as well.

Ankeny has some strong internal candidates, including both Coordinators (Nick Nelson being one of them). I would imagine the hire comes from within, but nonetheless a big time job open in the state.

I believe Nick Nelson can't because of his role within the school and they gave him a one-year exemption to coach this year. The school board will need to change its policy. I think that it would be hard to keep the staff together. I have also heard that they have almost come to blows during practice.

Central Lee, they had a very good coach for a few years in the early part of this decade, but other than that they have struggled.

That's a tough gig

Center Point - Urbana

Are they still the "Stormin' Pointers" ?

Sounds like the had a hire, but it was botched by their school board.

Okoboji is now posted.

 

[cidhawkeye]

Bump, any hires?

 

[Jayhawkin]

I have not seen anything posted on any of the jobs being filled. Some of these jobs (Mason City, Perry etc) have been posted for a couple months now.

Iowa Falls is set to hire Eric Walkingstick, the Akron Westfield Head Coach

 

[troutstamp1]

I heard that the Alburnett Job is now open, that's a growing school just north of Cedar Rapids. I think they will be a 1A football school and 2A in most other sports.

 

[PNation]

Alburnett has been open a lot recently.

Alburnett has been open a lot recently.

I think the coach has been there for at least 3 years maybe four but I know he did not teach there.

 

[Hwkfn1]

Alburnett has had a ton of coaches go through in the last ten years or so. They seem to be very hard on their football coaches.

I don't think he is leaving because of any issues, I had heard it was to spend more time with family. Also in that same district has anyone heard anything about Lisbon, at one time I had heard that coach was leaving but hadnt heard anything for awhile.

 

[cidhawkeye]

Any coaching announcements?

 

[PNation]

Lisbon was posted today

 

[IGo42]

Haven't seen anything about Alburnett on Teach Iowa yet, but did just see Lisbon posted.

The Alburnett coach had something out on social media and their team page maybe not quite a month ago that he was leaving.

Lisbon was posted today

This one kind of surprises me, they have tremendous facilities and always seem to have athletes. This will be an interesting hire or not sure if any asst coaches would be considered.

Thanks for the clarification. Both Alburnett and Lisbon surprised me. Both were having success, but families and other factors also play a role.

 

[troutstamp1]

Did anyone else hear that Maq Valley was going to be open? I just heard this rumor today.

 

[3buzzmable]

Ankeny should announce any time now

 

[wolverine55]

I'm assuming no or someone would have posted, but anyone heard anything on Mt. Pleasant? I'm surprised at how quiet that one has been.

 

[troutstamp1]

Maquoketa Valley in eastern Iowa is open, confirmed

 

[WHANCOCK]

Forest City

 

[PNation]

Forest City is a job that I think if they got the right coach in there they could really be successful. They have good facilities, and tend to have a number of athletes. Coach Moore had some success there but it did seem like it was time for a fresh start.

 

[Football1795]

Ankeny announced Jeff Bauer as the next HC.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Mid-Prairie’s Coach Cavanagh has resigned.

 

[IGo42]

Nodaway Valley Head HS Football was posted on Teach Iowa

 

[IGo42]

Anyone hear anything about the Osage coach resigning?

North Tama and South Hamilton opened up on 3/24/2023

Wow, South Hamilton has a quality team/program that could be a top 10 team. Wonder what happened there? Anyone know anything?

This was a mistake, I have heard that HR posted the wrong position. Bit of an oopsie.

 

[Scott Ervin]

South Hamilton is looking for a Jr. High football coach.

 

[PNation]

North Tama is a job that opens up a lot for as successful as they have been as a school in football.

Are you sure on North Tama, coach Wirth wasnt going anywhere last I heard.
