Agreed, Coach Gray has dismissed a few in his time which I applaud. I love a coach who cares more about building/molding young men into responsible adults vs turning a blind eye to antics just to win games. Not sure he'd be well liked there by some that lack this discipline at home and expect to get away with it on the field too...which I'm sure happens at all schools not just BW.

When do interviews start? I heard last week there were 13 applicants so far with two being from Florida.

Job has to be posted for 30 days. So interviews can start mi July.

Too easy.

 

Very surprised to hear this. Only saw Tigers play 4 times this year (very small sample, for sure); but, never saw anything on-field that was less than best behavior and stellar sportsmanship. Were there off-field issues admin thought coaches didn't handle? No specifics wanted.

I am speculating here based on the conversation I had. I don't think it was anything bad or urgent, but rather the overall laissez faire approach to discipline. Again, that is speculation on my part.

My understanding is that a lack of organization and communication may have played a role too.

planning on making a having coach hired on/by July 17th.

Anything new on this front? Hearing any names?

Guess not

Not sure who applied, but the interviews were slated for yesterday. Due process will probably take another month. My guess is they chose the 17th because it is exactly 1 month before schools starts and I bet they want to have one in place by that date.

rumor I heard was he BM was told he needed to play BW kids more than tuition kids and responded with "you don't tell me who I play"....I guess he's right, they don't but they do pay the salary. **Word of mouth rumor, cannot validate** Be interesting to see how this affects future "tuition students/athletes"...will new coach follow this direction (If it's true) and play the BW kids over tuition??? What happens to future of program without incoming transfers. Haven't they had quite a few in the last few years??? Outsider, so don't know, just asking.

LOL. 7 of the 9 starters from the baseball team last year were tuition kids. No way this is true. There are only a couple parents that believe tuition kids are taking their kids place on sports teams. And, all the kids that get accepted to BW are BW kids.... not just the kids that happen to live near the school. If BW doesn't want tuition kids to make their sports programs better, close tuition.

Just confirmed, this was never said to Bobby and was never a issue with with his superiors. This was only a sore spot with a couple parents....like I said.

Did I read this right? 7 of 9 WERE tuition kids....if that's the case I can see people being upset....at least until the football program or baseball program starts losing, then it's "Let's get the best athletes"...LOL.

100% of Covington Catholic's players were tuition students.
