Coach Mueller would be a great choice but I agree it would only be a stop-gap.

Just like Wolfe has done, I think Dale would show the administration the big finger.  A lot of bitterness I believe is there amongst a very good friend (Wolfe) and his right hand man (Dale) on how BW was treated.  Those bridges are burnt and will not be rebuilt.  We got to move on.....

I've heard very similar comments about how Wolfe and Mueller feel about the program now. It's disappointing, but like you said, move on.

That is an interesting thought process and one I don't think is too far fetched.

Weinrich to Beechwood

Behymer to Newport

Umberg to Newport

Dill to ??????

Turner still at Highlands

Deaton still at Highlands

Leopold to ???????

Hall to retirement?

 

Turner would be a solid hire for any school.

Dill certainly has experience 

Hall retiring hurts as he is a very good coach with experience on  both sides of the ball. 

Downing does a nice job at the Frosh level. Maybe Deaton could be a good  Frosh HC if Downing doesn’t return.
 

I would certainly try and retain the first  3 for sure out of those remaining.

No guarantees, but I suspect if Dowling was a part of the committee he must be in good standing with the principal and AD. My guess he stays part of the football at some level be it varsity, JV or freshman.

If true this is a very sad indictment of the Highlands' administration.

A school like HHS should have a HC, Offensive Coordinator, QB coach, RB coach, WR coach, Defensive Coordinator, DL coach, DB coach and LB coach.  Some of the mentioned coaches will have JV responsibilities.  Coordinators usually coach a position.  Then they need a frosh staff.  On any Friday Night, you will see 10-20 staff and support members on any sideline.

If Coach Weinrich continues teaching at HHS, I hardly doubt there will be teaching vacancies.  It is a great school and I would guess that most teachers there will retire there. The new coach, more than likely, will have to rely on paraprofessionals.  Quality coaches are not just sitting around waiting for a phone call. Quality coaches are already coaching.  If a local coach is hired, he may have connections.  If it is an out of town hire, this will be a challenge for the new coach.  

 

This raises some good points probably noted many pages back when Eddie James didn't take the job.  He may have wanted some of his staff to come with him and there was no place for them because jobs at schools like Highlands are tough to come by.

Yep!  I think that was Theory #4 on why he backed out.

Very plausible. However, I would hope anyone taking a HC job would have done his homework and asked that question before accepting the job and doing a press conference. Whether or not you will be able to bring staff members in, hire your own staff, and what are the possibilities of openings in the district for my coaches are all very valid questions for a coach to ask BEFORE taking a job.

Agreed, but I think we are witnessing thru this process that we are dealing with amateur's when it comes to making a big hiring decision.  This administration had the chance to land a quick replacement after the James debacle and they let him slip thru the cracks.

When the post mortem meeting happens when this is said and done it will be interesting to see if there is another position that will be needing to be refilled in the summer.

I am guessing Lickert, New Cath's coach.

I tend to agree. I don't get the impression that Coach Lickert ever really had a chance at the job with the current administration in place.

Just a thought, but maybe Coach James did ask those questions and things didn’t work out as indicated.
