The list of things that can change between JH and HS is vast.  It's more likely than not that JH success won't be the same in HS.  1st and foremost.. 7th grade kids playing against everyone else's 7th

Not to be a negative Nancy, but having some good groups come through in JH usually doesn't translate to HS success. Back when I was in JH school, we destroyed everyone, went undefeated and were "distr

If he can stick around long enough, I hear Buna has a pretty good group of 3rd graders coming up.

Going to be very tough getting a quality head football coach.

No AD title and will be required to teach a subject and not PE.

Will be a good opportunity for a coach that is trying to move up. A successful coordinator moving into a HC role is a step in the right direction.

True but that's a recipe for a revolving door.

But they might get lucky.

Could go either way. Many of them have revolving doors with AD/HC combined as well. I think it is a good transition for a potential HC candidate that is currently a coordinator. They get full control of the team without having to deal with the non football issues

Don't see many of those at the 3A level and above.

Success is few and far between in that scenario.

Like I said, will be tough but not necessarily impossible.

I agree - The head coach will be there three years max then move on to another school to get the AD title and $. 

 

But will be a good spot to get HC experience.

The real question is, why is this becoming a thing for smaller schools?  Save the money and hire an AD who can handle, coordinate and facilitate the job duties required, or am I missing something?  It seems the pay for these HC's without the AD title is on the lower side, so wouldn't that in turn reduce the amount of suitable candidates with aspiring dreams of becoming "the guy" to lead a program (where football matters)?

Just in the case for Buna, do you think they are really looking for a guy that can bring them to the dance, or probably just looking for a decent coach that won't destroy the program that's good with kids? I'm guessing the latter.

Just hang a clipboard and whistle on one of those stupid telephone poles between the stands and the field and let them boys play.

Does anyone know the Teaching Fields available for the new HC? This is interesting move. 

SPE no special requirements.  Pass the TC test and you can teach SPE.  Other subjects such as math, history, chemistry, etc.  you need to have so many accredited hours (basically a degree in that field/subject) and then pass the TC test for that subject.

A lot of the time it's to establish continuity, especially if a coach uses the school for a springboard to a bigger/better job.  If a coach was HC/AD and only stayed 2 years then left, the school would have to run the risk of hiring another coach that might do the same thing plus there's no one to be the boss over the different program HCs (basketball, baseball, etc.).  Having an AD in place keeps the various programs running, especially with finances or if they need something done.
