Of those I will say that J. Norris should have been included. Moreno would be better in the Mid-state , not in metro. All listed were good to have on staffs.

There are 3 good assistants in my mine. Baskin and Green at McGavock. Bush at Antioch. I think these guys are ready and could do well. They are probably more qualified than some Head coaches in Metro. The sad part is that they will probably be past over for Hillwood and Hillsboro. 2 others are Gore and Herzog at Hillsboro.

Yes they will probably be passed over, but are they even considering these jobs. I think a lot of guys, in my opinion, are waiting for the new school in Antioch. Should be a lot of talent at that school. Got to add another name to your list, Brad Peden at Antioch is one who has made rounds and paid dues.

Brad is going to get better and better and hope he will get a chance one day. As far as the new school, I've heard the principal and coach will be ????????????. Also you are correct about some not even wanting the job in the first place. It is more than some think or even want.

Not every assistant craves to be a head coach. A head coach must know everything about his team, and be in charge of all parts. He should be able to call OFF., DEF., & SPEC. , although he may delegate areas to assistant coaches. A question-- if I was the only coach to make the game would I be able to cover all parts of the game. Every head coach should ask himself what would be my answer.

Good post shadow....I know one thing....I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall when you called to find out why your assistants didn't show up for the game. I bet that would have been more entertaining than the game.

I remember one game where I thought shadow was going to have to leave at half-time, and then the assistants would have to take over. That is because he thought he could still QB during the week of practice. If the pain had been in his left arm and pec he would have had to leave. Shadow did a good job of making sure his assistants could handle it.

I would love to be an assistant at this point in life. It would be a lot of fun.

Hey RTB...we need to start a "tell old shadow stories" thread....that one could break the record for longest thread ever.
