Former players and insiders are the easy hire and the most difficult terminations. Just hire the very best candidate available and surround them with a great staff and good things will follow.
There are a few qualified candidates teaching in the middle school with the necessary qualifications. BJ West was a former principle, Coach Cothron has his endorsements I believe, and would be a great choice IMO, Mrs. Belcher has every endorsement possible and is a great teacher. I believe there is another person or two that I’m forgetting that has the necessary qualifications to apply. The middle school is a great school with little turnover, so I hope it come from someone inside that building
