(City of Industry) – Oscar Robles has stepped down as the head coach at Workman after one season he confirmed Sunday.
Robles, who was an assistant at Northview before taking over at Workman, went 4-7 overall in his only season including 3-2 in the Montview League. The Lobos lost 35-7 to Santa Clara in the first round of the CIF Division 13 playoffs.
Robles left to pursue other opportunities.
“We were having a great off season but in the end it was a personal decision and I needed to do what was best moving forward for myself and family in regards to a full time job,” Robles said.
@bt bear
Yes!
Have you ever heard the one one about asking a dumb question?
@Coach ABC and Prognosticators Anonymous, ever hear the saying it is best to remain silent and be thought a fool then speak and remove all doubt?
Robles must be awesome since he came from NV…hahahahahahahaha
4-7! 4-7 in that league and someone at Nogales thought that was good enough to warrant a job offer? This is why Nogales probably stays Nogales and never gets back to the late 90s teams. I don’t think Ziola is a great coach but he has a resume! Spathias is a better coach and has a better resume smh just smh!
4-7 in the worst league in the valley. guy must be an amazing coach, lol
4-7…VERY IMPRESSIVE!
Sad thing is there is no loyalty to any of these programs, kids, cities or schools. These coaches just look for better coaching gigs and bounce. Win or lose some local programs are ran by local coaches and kids who stay in their city and develop and show some loyalty.
Now this is sounds like a job for Jude! If he can turn Workman around then he’ll deserve all the hype and praise he gets. Let’s see if he can steal or “recruit” players from the surrounding schools.
Spathais?
You can’t blame Robles for leaving. If you can’t offer your head football coach a teaching position than you deserve to lose your coach. The Hacienda La Puente is one of the worse run districts in the valley. That’s why Workman is Workman, Wilson is Wilson, La Puente is La Puente, and now Los Altos will be like all the other schools in the district.
First off young coaches, being a high school walk-on, even an HC when you are not working at a job with a solid future is a waste. A high school coach even an HC is not a smart career path. It is a path of way to much work for no money, a path to fighting with parents and administrators, a path to being the butt of jokes on MVS, a path to early stress related illnesses. You want to succeed. Get credentialed, do your leg work and find a job, get tenured or some seniority, then take a stab at coaching if you still desire. A high school coach in the sgv is for guys already set, not for guys hoping for a miracle. PS: Forget that P.E. degree. It is worthless these days.
Many times, a guy is hired because the school in question believes it can control him, effectively telling him how to run the program. Better coaches such as Ziola aren’t puppet material, which is why they don’t get considered by the garbage programs. Sad but true, these go-nowhere operations are intimidated by a guy like Dale, and since the government money is always going to keep them around, they flounder with impunity.
Smh, if Nogales picked this guy all I have to say is wow.
He’s going to Nogales.
Ziola sucks…
Salazar Went 24-18, with 1 playoff win in D-13
Robles went 4-7, with 0 playoff wins in D-13
They both beat Ziola out for jobs…obviously, he can’t coach!
What does this say about Ziola if this guy beat him out?
did he get a job at Nogales? What about Ziola?
guessing that full time job or teaching job is at Nogales if rumors are true. kinda late in the year
Nogale
