The whole thing seems strange. You would've thought when James left, they would've called up the next in line and made the offer. Hoping this ends soon with a decent option remaining.
-
Great points and I completely agree. I'd still like to see one of our own (that being a Highlands or Ft. Thomas guy) taking the reins and staying a while. As I've mentioned before, Coach Bathiany is the horse I'm pulling for in that respect. Home-grown Ft. Thomas/Highlands guy with family history in town and solid success coaching at the collegiate level (DII and DIII).

I was good right up until the last part where you said, "Only 3 years experience as a HC and never made it to the state title game." I don't want to oversimplify what I'm trying to get across here, but I just don't see how making it to the semifinals is much different than what Highlands already had. If we're going to push a guy out, we should try to replace him with an improvement, not someone who is merely satisfactory.

I don't want to discredit what Reed has accomplished at SO, but if a few semi-final appearances and never having a losing season is the Highlands coaching threshold, Weinrich would've still been the head coach.

Is Highlands still a top job?

Anyone who checks all of those boxes is either happily employed or retired. -
Why did Eddie James jilt Highlands?
OldCamelNewBird replied to theguru's topic in KY Football (High School)
Lickert is a great motivator and a great personality for the community, but based on the NCC games I watched this season, I'm not sure about his X's and O's. There were little to no adjustments being made in the games I've seen, and some very questionable play calling. -
Highlands mafia strikes! I'm a big fan of BB V! The Highlands job belongs to a Fort Thomas guy, and he's the best option on the list (assuming Wolfe isn't interested) IMO.

Eddie James is the new Highlands football coach

Is the a recording of the press conference anywhere? -
I heard the same thing about Highlands today. Set for an announcement.
-
According to Don Owen (@dontribunesport), David Fulcher applied for the position. Obviously was awesome at the pro level for the Bengals (all pro safety), but was 0-22 as the coach for Cincinnati Christian.
-
Not that I know of, but if I put myself in their shoes, I'd be questioning the process. It seems like there's a lot of Wolfe talk for a guy who is seemingly uninterested. Doesn't seem like a good fit for the community or team, or especially the players on the committee. What kind of message is that sending to them?
-
My concern with this coaching "hunt" is that the school is going to miss out on some good applicants because of unrealistic expectations of who wants the job.
-
At one point a few years ago, Highlands did close external enrollment, but recently opened it back up. I don't remember the exact years, but I remember hearing about it.

I disagree. I think Highlands fans understand Cov. Cath. is a solid team this year, which cannot be said for the birds. No one should be surprised if this one ends up fairly lopsided.
