Ravenwood opening

[LoveForTheGame]

Richie Wessman has left to coach the Roma Grizzlies in Rome, Italy. They are a semipro American football team.

Mistake when they hired him. Not that he can't coach or a good guy, just former college and NFL guys do not workout for high schools.

Looks like Pam Vaden gets to make another suspect hire.

I believe the Ravenwood job is the best job open in the state right now because it has the best reasources and funding of any job open right now. Expectations are lower than they were a year ago and the rising sophomore class is arguably the best in school history. People point to the principal as a black mark but I don't think that's a fair accusation, after all she is the one who hired both Rector and Hester. During the last coaching search I kept hearing "the new coach will have to teach" that's totally false. They get paid to teach but only monitor in school suspension all day while doing film on the laptop. Overall this is a Great gig, don't know exactly who is on the shortlist but we'll find out soon enough.

I have a candidate. I have a couple of candidates.

Do tell. I have heard of one candidate that will stay super quiet. But is well known more than people think. He is young and motivated and knows a lot of former coaches at RW and has coached against each multiple times.

Any chance they promote from within?

Doubt it think a lot of the staff was non faculty.

Have they released a schedule for 2017 yet?

[LoveForTheGame]

There is a schedule but it hasn't been released.

Word out this way is that the next coach could be someone within the same county.  Maybe leaving one school for another...hmmmmm.....interestin
