Would that be the old Red Faught system?

No matter what position the OC played he better know OL play.

2023 Walton-Verona Bearcats
Five of the teams they have no choice but to play. Now of course that includes Beechwood. NCC KCD Holmes Those are all pretty stiff competition for them. Brossart and Boone won’t be cakewalks. That’s a pretty solid schedule and it’s the type of you get banged up a little gets even harder. Carroll has been closing the gap some too and the last few years have been tough games.

Josh Cole from East Jessamine has been named the new HC.

Word is that the coach will be named Monday.

Open Job: Scott
With what’s going around the listserv I hope they had a nondistrict schedule already put together or at least had someone working on it. It’s become pretty common practice to get agreements before the season even ends. If not you risk either not playing a full schedule or playing way over your head.

I used to dislike how Ohio does it. Now I’m starting to like it more and more.

That might (that’s a big might) help but then you come back and are placed in the same boat again.

I guess that depends on what one considers failure. There are times with certain districts it is brutal. It might be a small amount of districts but I believe there are some out there.

Open Job: Scott
I wonder if Scott has their schedule pretty much locked in or not. You can’t make it official yet but most of the state has their out of district games lined up.

I was under the impression that Morgan runs his own business and I would guess when he coached youth he was very involved in how that program was run. Those factors would be pretty valuable as a HS HC. There are some really good coaches that know their stuff that coach at lower levels. People might be surprised about how many people have HS experience but know little about the logistical and administrative side of being a HS HC.

3 Safety Defense: New or Not?
You can play it a bunch of ways or in other words different flavors. That defense is going to spin post snap. The version Spetch runs at Cincy St X that middle safety is his adjuster. The try to get him as the free hitter all the time. Iowa St who kind of made the defense popular does something similar. That middle safety is a hybrid player. He is the box fitter. They can roll the coverage to whatever. It also allows them to play a Tampa 2 type defense without the pressure of a LB getting sucked up and dropping. Iowa St also based out of the Tite front so they are playing with a lite box. They are going to try to spill to those safeties. Long post short the presentation presnap is different but post snap it’s still like what Homer and Sid Gilman taught. 0-1-2 or MOFO/MOFC.

Teams Opting to Play Up 2023-2026
I do not believe you can request to play down for geographic reasons.
-
Open Job: Grant County
Don’t get me wrong they’ve got some good players. Looking at the KHSAA roster and it looks like well over half were freshmen and sophomores this past season. To say they have better players than most of the teams they played against this past year is a stretch. Look at the schedule and either the teams were pretty loaded with talent (Douglas, Scott Co, Great Crossing, Lloyd) or were heavy upperclassmen loaded.

They did that at Kentucky too if I remember correctly.

Wisconsin QB transfer Graham Mertz to Kentucky?
The portal has changed recruiting a ton. Teams aren’t recruiting kids like they used to since they can go out and get a portal kid. The days of recruiting a freshman QB and developing him (or any number of other positions) is getting smaller.

I really wish we would go to this format. Being forced to play in districts can do more harm than good to a number of programs. Depending on the size of the district it can force teams into situations where hitting .500 might be the best a team can do. It allows some of the top teams in the state to schedule higher competition.

I think some of those projections missed some schools. I don’t believe I saw Harrison in the 4A ones.

Coach Pay
I don’t think anyone is in favor of cutting principals. Now I think most feel like central office positions in many districts are bloated.
-
Coach Pay
Of course the first question people are going to ask is where is that money going to come from. Also no way the HC at every program deserves six figures. The pressure HC already feel (even typical bottom level programs) is pretty high. I know much less about other sports and coaching. I know HS football is being treated more and more like the college level. Unrealistic expectations and unrealistic understanding of how things work. Being a football HC is a ridiculous level of administration. All the crap those guys are in charge of and have to get done. I’m sure a lot of HC would like to make more money. I’ll tell you what they want more than that six figures. Admin/district support and the setup some of the top programs have. Things like athletic periods and facilities.

Coach Pay
There is no restriction in private schools and really there isn’t any restrictions in public schools. Just with public there are more hoops/barriers than privates. Your hands are possibly even less tied if you are a private same sex school.
-
Coach Pay
Like you said public school it’s public record. Now finding that info without contacting the school might be difficult. As far as private schools go I’m not sure those guys make as much money as you think. The HC or others might have positions within the school that really should count toward coaching pay. So the books say you get paid X to coach and paid Y to be the whatever of school climate (or whatever job title). Now you take a guy like Redman who I’m sure is a para pro. He is probably making more than the average assistant across the state but not nearly as much as some think.

What’s the odds of Cov Cath wanting to play up? Is there really any benefit to it for them? I’m guessing here but if they stay 4A the district probably is going to look like Cov Cath, Holmes, Grant and maybe Harrison?

So who ends up with Beechwood?
