I’ll try to find out why he wasn’t a finalist.
As for my thoughts on why he made not have made the cut:
- More to do with the other applicants. Could be some serious competition for this position.
- Pendleton has had a lot of success but at a small school. Ironton has mostly played far inferior schools during Pendleton’s tenure. Moeller doesn’t play many cupcakes. So the school might want someone with experience playing a tougher schedule game after game…
- Location: connections to the Cincy catholic feeder schools is extremely important. Pendleton obviously has none of those connections.
- Name recognition in general to attract kids from all schools. The ex coach was previously the head coach of Eastern Kentucky. That’s far more impressive than saying “I was head count of Ironton” which most kids and families in the Cincy area have never heard of.
- Finally, is Pendleton catholic? That by itself could be a problem with getting the job. These GCL schools and fans take that very seriously.
Again, just my two cents but will try to find out the truth.
Just call Frank Russo if you want the facts since he’s the main man there lol. Coach Pendleton is staying at Ironton, that’s all that matters to us Fighting Tiger fans
Before I do ask, want to clarify your message:
Are you saying that Frank Russo offered Pendleton the job? I want to be clear on what you are saying before I ask.
Read it again slowly, I said call Frank Russo if you want the facts, since he’s the head man, go straight to the man, unless you’re saying he’s your Moeller contact, is that what you’re saying? Please clarify!!
