I have a buddy with kids in the district and he said that he heard Coach Williamson was a finalist but could not confirm. Said he also heard of an assistant coach from Greenfield being a finalist and an assistant coach from Springfield. Not sure if that was the final three or not.

Re: Washington court house football
According to the board agenda, there was no recommendation of a head coach. So unless there is a special meeting called before hand then I would say it probably wont be until the February meeting. Looking at the calendar, that wont be until the last week of February. I dont know what is going on. I was told they interviewed 6 candidates and was going to have an answer. So only 2 things come to mind. Either they did not like any of the candidates and are going to start over, or they are torn between 2 or 3 and can not make a decision. Either way, this is setting the program back in my opinion.FACSPORTS wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 9:33 amSo who is their pick?

Re: Washington court house football
Oh wow, I definitely don't agree with waiting that long. That means that the new coach likely wouldn't be able to get any offseason program going until March. I agree with your sentiment of setting the program back. It is definitely going to put the new coach behind the 8 ball in terms of getting things started.go court house wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 1:57 pmAccording to the board agenda, there was no recommendation of a head coach.

Re: Washington court house football
Interesting matchup for sure. Brookville is a very solid Region 16 team. WCH will have their work cut out for them. Wonder if its just a 1 year deal or a 2 year deal.go court house wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 7:03 amI did hear that this will be their week 3 game @ Brookville
Re: Washington court house football
Luckily this season, WCH non conference schedule is much more manageable IMO. I think realistically they can go into league play with 2-3 wins. I think they are better off taking their time with this hire. WCH I think can be looking at 5-6 wins this year.. that might be a hot take, but I think its possible.FACSPORTS wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 3:01 pmOh wow, I definitely don't agree with waiting that long.

Re: Washington court house football
Was at the McClain basketball game a few days ago and they people from there I spoke to seem to think their offensive Coordinator is getting the job.

Re: Washington court house football
Head coaching position is a done deal and it's not Greenfield's offensive coordinator. Familiar face back in WCH if my sources are correct.
Re: Washington court house football
Or - they offered someone, and that individual ended up declining, and now they are scrambling to make an offer to someone else.go court house wrote: Tue Jan 14, 2025 1:57 pmAccording to the board agenda, there was no recommendation of a head coach.

I spoke to someone who was on the hiring committee today. This person said it was down to 2 people and that no decision has been made.Fayette_Panther1963 wrote: Thu Jan 16, 2025 1:29 pm Head coaching position is a done deal and it's not Greenfield's offensive coordinator.

Also heard from a friend that chuck would have a very tough battle at the school board if he was selected. Said that 2 board members are a firm NO. if they get one more then he could not be approved.

Re: Washington court house football
They do have 2 people but, one was offered. You are correct Fayette_Panther1963. They are working out a contract deal. If that falls through they will go to #2.Fayette_Panther1963 wrote: Thu Jan 16, 2025 1:29 pm Head coaching position is a done deal and it's not Greenfield's offensive coordinator.

Hope that NIL Deal works out. Also contracts are yearly deals they are normally 1 year contracts.

Re: Washington court house football
Just don't understand why they would bring him back. I would say 80 percent of the people I talk to don't want him back. They know what it brings. For a district that speaks culture so much they don't put it to practice. I know several who have said they will stop supporting the program... is 1 guy really worth losing so many good people. And I truly don't think this go around will be better for chuck. But hey, that's why they all get paid. If it bites them in the butt there will be people coming after heads around here.First and Goal wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 7:15 amThey do have 2 people but, one was offered.

Re: Washington court house football
STILL no announcement on a coach... what are they waiting on... this is beginning to make NO sense
Re: Washington court house football
From what I know and have heard about Mr. Kimling, this is very surprising that a decision has still not been made.

Re: Washington court house football
I have never met the man. I hear nothing put praises from people in and around the district. I have heard there are 2 groups of people making their voices heard. A group of people wanting chuck back and a group of people who say, give us anyone but chuck. I do hear that this Oakes guy from Greenfield is in the final 2. So looks like down to these guys. There must be some heat coming from all sides on this one for a coach not to be announced by now. Looks like Kimlimg in a no win situation.FACSPORTS wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2025 10:28 am From what I know and have heard about Mr. Kimling, this is very surprising that a decision has still not been made.
Re: Washington court house football
I get that, but I feel like the longer that he drags this out, the worse off he will be. I would just make a decision and stand by it. He's been doing this long enough to know that there is typically backlash with all coaching decisions in one way or another. You can't please everyone. If he is waiting on everyone to be on board and to all agree with a decision, they will begin next season without a head coach lol.go court house wrote: Thu Jan 23, 2025 11:32 amI have never met the man.

Re: Washington court house football
They need to take option 2. New fresh start. They don't need to go back to being a undisciplined program that also filters down to the other sports.
