Has anyone heard any more rumors/news on the local coaching carousel?

That stinks

Good guy, good coach, not a ton to work with

Two years not enough. Hope grass is fertilized on other side of fence. Those who cry loudest get rewarded at Shawnee. LJ

If you're a coach why would you want to?

They pushed out Owens, a life long assistant who came into a program with very little talent.

He eventually would have turned it around, that job you needed at least four years before you could assess him. My contacts in Lima tell me just parents complaining about him finally got to the board and he grew sick of it.

As a 20+ year player and assistant in the WBL you couldn't pay me enough to deal with that crap. Shame on any parent that had anything to do with Owens being forced out!

Shawnee parents do that?

That is why they are weak every year..... Didn't they drive out Bertke (sp) BB coach?

Jason Wright?

My how times have changed, this was your typical coach a few generations ago.

Can someone come up with a list (like they did for Wapak) so we can start a "Coach-Watch" for Shawnee? That was fun.

I am a Crestview alum and my kids go to Parkway (still very young). After the Crestview vs Parkway game week one, I heard an outburst of obscenities from their head coach directly to the players. If he isn't replaced by the time my son gets up there, he WILL NOT play for that clown. Last time I checked, you don't build a program with yelling fowl language at your players and making them get on the bus without showering or eating. They need some positive direction in Rockford.

Maybe if he would have said "pretty please" he could have had a better season

I heard he built Marion Local's football program into what it is today.

Not quite. He laid the groundwork for the successful program it is today by weeding out the problems and developing a culture of discipline and toughness.

Yep

Are there any Coordinators in the area who are looking to move up to the Big Chair?
