Coaching Openings

Okay.......maybe i'm not a coach and just follow Iowa high school football?!
I don't believe so, I heard he was staying on at SW as a teacher. He won a lot of games over the last 18 years, going to be hard to replace.
That is also what I have heard. It was just a 1-year deal, although they did make the playoffs and were playing well at the end of the season.
From what I've heard, AP has a plan. There is a lot of time between now and then, so I'm not going to speak on a rumor. If it comes to fruition, it will be a good hire
It has to be a coach-in-waiting situation, right? I wasn't there, but watching on TV, it didn't look like McKinstry was actually doing much "coaching" on the sideline. He didn't even have a headset on, but he did look mic'd up.
So I don't get how these schools can post head coaching positions already, when districts do not ever know what teaching positions are open until negotiations and early retirement declarations, which both happen usually in the spring.
I feel this is why most programs just hire from within anymore, because just like college they don't want to wait until spring to find a coach, plus they usually have someone qualified on staff.

Disagreement with how Administration handled a situation involving some of the athletes I have heard. Resigned standing on what he believed was right. Is what I'm being told from a fella I know in the area. I don't know the entirety of the situation so I don't want to speak incorrectly on what exactly the students supposedly did.
Where was this reported? Have seen nothing on it. Would be a very coveted job in my opinion.
Not sure if it was ever posted that Cherokee was open, but I heard it was filled by a Storm Lake coordinator. Kris Alesch.
Your hunch is correct.
There are no coaches remaining from the Butch Pedersen era. John Nestor wants nothing to do with the history and real heart of the program. It wasn't just Coach Pedersen; it's the community.
John Nestor has very little interest in WB other than it being a place he coaches. Superiority Complexes come in many shapes and forms.
In West Branch, John Nestor is the face of it.
I hope and pray the sun will rise again and shine on the program. It can never be what it was for Coach Pedersen.
It can be, however, what it really is for West Branch.
I'm a Bear now and forever. I support the kids. I will NOT support Coach Nestor. He has no respect for what was or what is. He is all about John Nestor.

Sad to see the tradition being abandoned. It’s a close knit community and it will be tough for Nestor if he doesn’t figure out how West Branch got to be West Branch.
I see the West Branch football website is being shut down, what’s up with that?
Couple of thoughts I have from a person that has no connection to the program, or even know anyone from West Branch.
First off the hire always seemed weird to me, he was clearly just following his son to Iowa City, my guess is when the son is done, so will dad. I wondered why they didn’t want someone with a connection to West Branch or at least someone who is going to raise a family there.
Secondly, I see he is a shrine bowl coach, how did he get that honor as a first year coach, and first year in Iowa?

it's all very shocking to us as well, considering he didn't nominate a single kid for all state recognition. WB D End was 2nd in the state in sacks and TFL
