I'll accept private messages from either of you. LOL.

Sheldon Clark hired Chester McCoy

 

Chester McCoy named new head football coach at Sheldon Clark

Iroquois hires Coach Peters from Shawnee. This is Corey Peters older brother. Sound like a pretty good hire

Surprised @ the slow movement of hiring by some of the schools on the list. There are 4-5 schools that I figured for sure would have been filled & working on compiling a staff by now. With spring ball in the not to distant future (never have been a big fan of spring ball btw) I figured that some of these teams would want someone in place with at least a partially assembled staff so the student-athletes could begin to know who they are & what to expect.

What's that tell ya?

They don't care or not a high priority. I know you will hear the "Well we want to hire a quality coach." Ok, who doesn't? That's why any smart AD or principal, whoever makes the hire has to have a short list of people they would like to apply.

 

First call the people on the short list to apply. They will give you a simple yes or no. If yes, tell them how to apply online. If no simply erase their name off the list, you may put them back on once the hire has been made.

 

Getting back to the hiring process. If you have people on the list interested then interview them, keep in mind you have 30days to post the job online. During that time set up your interview committee, order subway sandwiches for each night or day of interviews. We wouldn't want to ask questions on an empty stomach. You may also start an interview or if you want to wait til 30 days are up that's fine, but have a goal or time frame you want to hire for the search committee. Also, collect all the resumes and decide what applicants you want to interview. If you interview 10 maybe do 2-3 a night and meet with the committee. If you think you have a winner then name them the head coach, if not take 2-3 applicants and interview 1 more time. Keyword 1 more time. If you have to reinterview people 3-4 times then you should not hire anyone.

Great post.

One school on the list does not have any open teaching jobs at this time and therefore nothing they can offer a coach. They have decided to wait till spring to fill the open vacancy. Asst Coaches and the former HC are working winter weights with the program until a new coach is hired.

@Rambo4343 I agree 100% with what you said. I always kept a short list just in case I was caught by a surprise opening & it truly saved me a couple of times. I never had a pool where I had to interview 10 though, so that is why I am thinking that I moved a little faster than some of these are, haha!

What job are you talking about? Why is the former HC helping? Did he leave on his own accord? Retiring?

How many people on these committees know anything about football? I am guessing most of them don't know the first thing much less ask a coach to get on the board and block out a play or stop a play! We are really a joke in KY how we handle hiring football coaches!
