For reference:

 

Congrats to Coach Marksberry on a great career at Simon Kenton. I expect this job will have good interest.

Curious as to when his retirement goes into effect, with him being the athletic director. Will he have a hand in finding his replacement or leave that up to the school and new AD?

I'd expect to see Eric Turner from Scott in this discussion. Former longtime Marksberry staffer and current Dayton head coach Jesse Herbst seems like he'll more than likely come up in discussion. I've got a feeling there will be one or two Ryle coaching staffers who get in the mix for discussion here.

Is this the kind of job that hires a first time head coach, at this point?

I have heard the baseball coach is the new AD.

My $0.02 is that when any program has a longtime coach retire from a program like this, that school best serves the program to at least involve the retiring coach in the process.

Whether or not the exiting coach actually has a say/vote on which candidates are interviewed or hired, they are bound to have valuable insight on the program as-is, and insight about what things need to be discussed with interviewees, and the kinds of things they are going to have to consider when a new hire comes in and transitions the program into a program of their own.

I want tend to agree with your assessment. And yes the baseball coach is the new AD.  
 

Not sure whether or not he has any interest in being the head coach but I believe Assistant Coach Drake has been there for about 20 years.

Coach Turner was recently missing from the sidelines.  The speculation here on BGP was that it was some type of disciplinary action.  If so, the timing is horrible for him.

January 1st is what I was told. 

Steve Funke would be a good hire.

Drake has been the defense coordinator and defense has struggled. 

What about Terry Brown from CovCath?

His defense has been at the top every season during his time under Eddie and has previous HC experience.

Great Coach but I don't think he'll ever leave Twenhofel. He loves coaching at the MS level.
