New Thread for OT and Friends. Looks like we are at 81 New Coaches for next year.

Somewhere I have missed Rock Falls being open.........82

Found Chicago Tech Academy as well making 83. That ties what I had for last year.

Jerseyville is still open I believe

Kept forgetting to add that to my list on IHSS. That would make 84 now

Jake Brosman hired at Hampshire.

I expect an announcement on SOV next Tuesday or Wed. Board meeting is Monday night.

I have no idea who it is. I have had zero involvement in the process.

rumor has it that jchs has been filled. i will not post who has been offered the job.

i learned the hard way when the ri job came open to wait for an official announcement so the team can find out from the former head coach.

i will share one thing, it's an old friend of mine who has a unique teaching position.

the jersey job is awaiting board approval. the coach has accepted and resigned from his current position yesterday.

Word on the streets has Ric John's leaving Wesclin for Jerseyville

Jerseyville's super is who hired me to SOV. Old school guy, so this hiring would be right up his alley. His departure worried me when it happened, and in retrospect, rightfully so.

Bighitter11 wrote:Word on the streets has Ric John's leaving Wesclin for Jerseyville

yes. that's what i've kept quiet about pending board approval.

Jeff Myers hired at SOV. Former OC at St T for Ramsey his first year there.

Was wondering if that was going to come back into play. Probably would of left last year had he not won a title and had all those kids coming back. Didnt the guy writing the article get blasted too by someone.

Probably.

More than likely, it was probably some of your IHSS buddies.
