It is entertaining to see the comments in this thread about coaches that are applying and getting jobs. Asking the question "aren't there any better candidates"?, then quantifying it by saying "no disrespect to them". Do you guys know what makes them bad candidates? Do you guys know what could make them qualified?? In their past jobs, is their record more important then the lives they changed while they were there? When you are speaking on coaches that have coached at some of the states lowest preforming schools (Shawnee, Iroquois, Doss, Western) and those coaches having to deal with kids that don't have lights, food or fresh clothes at home. They still find away to get these kids to go out and perform. How many funerals do you all think these guys have gone to or spoke at? How many times you think these guys have answered their phones at the late hours of the night to go "save" a child. I have worked for at least two of the coaches in this thread and they deserve to be head coaches. They change lives off the field and have been successful on the field with very little parent support. I learned a lot about caring and building true relationships with players from them and I may be bias but in my mid they are great leaders and are the best candidates for the jobs that they applied for. Its not all about the X's and O's, it's about saving the Jim's and Joe's.
