@ TRUMP your not great , your funny.
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.
baseball? baseball? did you say baseball?
you have basketball, soccer swimming,track
heck I will take drama before baseball
When the 2017 football season begins, the HLPUSD, home of 4 high school football programs, will be on their 23rd football coach(s) in the last 10 years…I think there is an institutional problem
LP: Hernandez, Rohrer, Morrison, Williams
WM: De Lelio, Morrison, MacIntyre, Malavasi, Ortiz/Perdomo, New Guy
WL: Oviedo, Hoyd, Zavala, Burt, Christos, Gano, Bateman, New Guy
LA: Gano, Aguilar, Arellanes, Ziola, New Guy
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.
Come on SG, the clock is ticking. Get a coach in there.
EL MONTE MMMM? IF YOU WANTED KNIGHT, AND YOU OFFERED, JUST SO HE CAN BACK OUT FOR SECRET REASON, THE OTHER GUYS WHO INTERVIEWED ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO TAKE THE JOB NOW, SORRY MAYBE YOU CAN HIRE WITHIN OR POP WARNER JETS.
SAN GABRIEL DO YOU KNOW WHO WILL COACH THIS YEAR?
ROSEMEAD HAVE YOU GOT AN IDEA WHO WILL BE THE HC ?
ANYONE KNOW?
Is the MVS gonna do those spotlight pieces where coaches break down their scheme? Might I suggest the following:
Coach Mac from Arroyo offense
Coach Zavala Defense
Coach Mooney Offensive line play
Coach Farrar Qb play
Coach Pierson Offense
Coach Medrano RPOs
Coach Gallardo Defensive scheme
Coach Andy the La Serna offense
Hector Spathais was be a good coach for any of the small SGV schools that need a coach.
