CAK....who gets the Head Coaching job?

[30323]

The hiring of Cowan, Darden, and Young can be attributed mainly to them receiving public school pension on top of a salary from CAK.

 

However, they make no direct contribution to coaches salaries. Believe me, I wish they did.

 

 

This is all true. You all would croak if you could see how small most teacher/staff/coach salaries are at CAK. The "unlimited resources" do not apply to coach salaries.

 

A few other clarifications: CAK can offer scholarship assistance, but if a student receives financial aid they can't play a varsity sport. Only D2 schools can do that. Since CAK plays in division 1, they can't offer "scholarships" to athletes.

 

Not all of the parents or students think Gum is great. He has run off many good players in the past, the most recent being at least 3 or 4 seniors who could have made a huge difference in this year's season.

Well, its good to see that the parents are able to run off another coach. At least we know who is running the program. Coach ran off the good players and the parents run off the coach. Sounds right to me.

Actually, he only "ran off" 2 players, and it was for the betterment of the TEAM, something many students and parents don't care to understand

co765co, you are very correct. I don't really know what happened or who the players were, but a coach should be aloud to run off whomever he or she likes if the reasons are legit (usually for attitude reasons).

 

A coach should have a vision for his team and if that vision doesn't include certain players, especially for attitude reasons, there's no reason to keep them.

 

BTW, it doesn't appear Gum was run off by parent's of players he might have "run off."

Anymore word on this?

 

I've heard some rumors.

I would say that it will be whom ever the parents tell King Richard to hire.
