That's a great question.

Just amazed. How can this take so long? Is there any way that the candidates are so bad they can't find someone or are they being turned down by everyone? Just can't imagine how a program that has been so good could be so hard to fill.

They did not have a teaching job with this. That is why a lot of the candidates turned it down.

Understand that the coach should be announced within the next day or 2.   I am told that an offer has been made and accepted, and the candidate is going through the necessary HR steps.

Interesting hire. Not sure what to think about it. Guess time will tell.

Yikes

Does anyone know anything about this guy. How much experience does he have. Can't be much. He is 24 or 25 I think. Amazed this is where they ended up. Maybe it will work out but I am shocked.

Hmmm, a 25-year old head coach? What could go wrong?

No offense to coach Dalton, he could certainly be a quality coach and a class act. I do hope this hire works out, but on the surface, this guy is 2 years removed from college and isn't much older than the kids that he is being tasked with leading. Those who wonder about the current KCS system-wide teaching/coaching mess, look no further. This is a perfect example of where things are because KCS can't retain quality teachers/coaches. It's just going to be a continuous revolving door, and we're going to see more and more hires like this in the future.
