So is Kidwell a done deal? And whoever is the new boys coach better role up there sleeves there is alot of work that needs to be done.

I believe Coach Sutton will stay at GC and be an assistant if Coach Fraley is hired.

I believe Coach Fraley will be announced today. Coach Sutton to be 1st assistant.

He might, but he and Merle are really good freinds, I have a feeling if Merle can, he will talk Nate into wearing maroon.

That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Also, I find it hard to believe that

 

1) Sean Horne would have time to be an assistant boys basketball coach while he is the head principal of Russell Middle School

 

2) Russell's superintendent would change policy so drastically (currently, Russell administrators are not allowed to coach athletic sports) as to not only allow an assistant principal to coach (which I personally have nothing against) but also a head principal.

 

This is NOT the policy at Russell. A principal or asst. principle at the Middle school or primary CAN coach at the high school.

This if false, unless the policy has changed VERY recently. Name me one administrator who has coached at Russell in the last 10 years. Why do you think Gary McPeek did not coach at Russell while he was AD? He wanted to, but was told he could not because Russell's AD position was an administrative one. Garry Morris is the only one I can think of, but he is not officially the assistant principal at the Middle School. He is considered a "teacher consultant" because he doesn't have administrative certification.

He might, but he and Merle are really good freinds, I have a feeling if Merle can, he will talk Nate into wearing maroon.

 

IMO, anywhere that Sutton lands will benefit from his coaching. He is way under-appreciated at GC.

I guess we will both find out in time. Not looking for an arguement Grover!:jump:

I'm not trying to start an argument. All I was saying is that I know for a fact that in the past, Russell administrators were not allowed to coach, head principals, assistant principals, counselors, AD, etc. This was a rule Mr. Back (the old superintendent) put into place. He is gone now, but changing the rule had never been approached to my knowledge. It is very possible that the new superintendent will allow administrators to coach, but currently, they cannot.

 

That was my point with doubting the changing in policy. I can see the new superintendent bending and allowing an assistant principal to coach, ie, Phil Cassidy. I would be shocked, though, that the new superintendent would be ok with a head principal, ie, Sean Horne, being allowed to coach, due to all of the extra duty things he would be expected to do already. However, nothing would ever surprise me.

I respect your opinion. But i just had it cinfirm (either a policy change or something) an administrator has been approved to be a coach at Russell.

This may be true, but like I said, it would be a NEW change in policy for this to be allowed. Anyway, it's all good.

Totally agree!

Totally agree!

Been saying it for years. Sutton just need's a fair shot to coach, he is going to make someone a great head coach in a few years.

Totally aggreed upon by me...Nate is a good coach and deserves some credit...
