    See how I improved our economy in just a few weeks. We have all these great head football coaching jobs that nobody wants. McDonalds is hiring too and they pay bigly better.

    For those that do not know my takes are not guesses. The SGV is leaking head football coaches at an alarming rate. Schools having trouble finding qualified men that can pass background checks. Also administrators say football is just more trouble than its worth. Expect to see very young hires with little to none head coaching experience. Also there are several more coaches leaning toward stepping down. Raise your athletes to be baseball players in the SGV.
