Eastern Coach

[Satelite]

Since when do schools fire their tenured teachers, due to the fact that they are coaching a sport elsewhere? Not to mention good teachers that are highly respected by those "kids" from which you mention. I may be wrong, but I believe that this occurs from time to time. Didn't Norm Persin do it for years between Oak Hill and Peake? Teaching and coaching at different schools, for me, is not a conflict. What is a conflict is coaching basketball at FH and volleyball at Eastern. That is not going to work.

Norm lived in Oak Hill while teaching and coaching in Chesapeake. He never did teach at Oak Hill and coach at Peake.

Since Howie is retired and is double dipping he is no longer tenured at Eastern. He has to be rehired each year. Though I was told that he played games with Eastern, initially declining the FH position since Eastern had not rehired him yet. Then once Eastern rehired him to teach he accepted the FH position. Pretty crafty huh?

Wow! I do not know which is worse, the information in my post or the decisions Eastern has made surrounding this fiasco. Of course the pole in the middle of the gym would have to rank above all.

Any word on who might be inline for the job?

[CoachBrittonFL]

Athletic Director told me they interviewed somebody today no idea who they interviewed or how it went but board meeting on tuesday maybe the search will end

That's why he has closed sessions because of parents like you. Get use to it or take your kid home.

The greatone,
Don't know what closed sessions means if you only care about yourself and don't care about kids in your district. The parents want what is best for their children and someone that can communicate that is not bias. You must be in the "know" group and a little late to take my kid home. LOL

Bistro, are there any applicants for the basketball job? I have not heard of anyone wanting the job. They advertised the opening in the local newspapers and such for a couple months, yet still did not get any bites of significance to my knowledge. How are the powers to be responsible for not hiring from a list of empty applicants?

Satelite,
Good point and respected, must be bad info on my part but what is local papers going to get ya. The good assistent coaches in the area such as Alex (ex.) know what a coach has coming up and how much the previous coach has worked with the youth system in the district if you know what I mean.

Bistro,
Step up to the plate and apply yourself. It is hard to find somebody when no teaching jobs are available.

OK beecee,
If the school district had jobs available that they could offer to someone interested in any coaching position that is qualified within the district instead of hiring retirees back maybe they could find a coach that is willing to help the kids in the district instead of looking out for themselves to supplement their retirement. You have to admit alot of this is going on starting at the top who hires the personel if you know what I mean.

Last comment,
Appologize to all that may have been offended who read my previous posts before I edited them that was out of line (maybe ??). I did accomplish what was intended. Responses and at least from what I've heard they have hired a couple of respected men with experience to coach the Jr high football team.

LOL Life is a blast!!!!!!!!!

The job was offered on friday

[CoachBrittonFL]

I heard Eastern has a new coach. He accepted the job this past week. It might be the young man from Findlay that Maximus was talking about. I was told he was from that part of the state.

[G.W.A.]

I heard it was a former player named Chris Caroll.

[CoachBrittonFL]

What year did he graduate? Where has he been coaching the last couple years?

[cg 22]

I heard it was a former player named Chris Caroll.

Are you serious?

[whatever]

No it is not Chris Carroll. Whoever said that is plain crazy!!!!

[CoachBrittonFL]

So who is the new coach then.....Shouldn't they announce it soon if they actually hired one?

[Super trooper]

You would think

[CoachBrittonFL]

They hired the coach tonight. Name is Cory Britain I heard he is younger was a varsity assistant last two yrs for a small school in nw ohio

[YoDuh]

Eastern Local, the only Meigs County School to venture outside the local gene pool for coaching talent. Best of Luck Coach Britain!
