Baseball is big at Beechwood but don't know about track and field. I imagine that players not in a spring sport do something organized. For sure. If it isn't broke, don't fix it; right? I figured they may want to have a coach in place if they did traditionally do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d pass on Saban if meant keeping Hergott. Coaching is an interesting profession. Gotta be careful with who you upset, opponents one day, could be interviewing for the next.

The Raven Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Rash being at Beechwood for 17 years is now the exception rather than the rule. For the most part, these days, a lot of schools will churning through coaches. They are younger and starting families. Time with their kids does, and should, take priority over time with other peoples kids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of Reason Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 If Hergott is planning to stay, I look for a defensive mind for head coach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Barre became the head coach when he was 23 years old. Dang! You are right! It was Slagle and then Mariani! Man, when the long term memory starts to go….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 95% if not more of people working in education are woefully underpaid. Coaching or not. But you are right, for the added responsibilities they take on, a few thousand extra a year doesn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to high school football, head coaches are woefully underpaid in Kentucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree on pay when you look at how inflation is outstripping what teachers are earning. There is evidence that a teacher salary here goes 15-20% less than it did 20 years ago. Benefits are good, though, as with most public employee jobs. I'm interested to see what Beechwood does with this hire since they are the sister district opposite Danville now.

Inflation is outstripping almost all of us but that is a whole other discussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have any inside sources mentioning who may be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
