Last time I checked, the new coach can't hire himself. Why have I always thought that the school board had something to do in this matter ?
Given the current financial uncertainty facing school boards during the pandemic, open coaching slots may not be filled with a new hire or offered only on a one coach for two or more sports basis. That arrangement was not uncommon in SEO back in 50's and 60's. It can be done and if the money crunch is indeed real, it might become the norm rather than the exception
You are certainly right in the fact that back in the 50's and 60's that this was an option for some of the schools. In this particular situation, one person at least was interviewed for the Boys head coaching position, and not hired, where as the Girls coach of the past 11 years was rehired, and then resigned 3 or 4 days later. I also get your point as far as the financial uncertainty that some of the school boards might be facing.
