Who is the favorite to get job?

I wouldn't be surprised if they hired her assistant, Shawn DiGianfelice, because he has head coaching experience with Shelbyville. I really don't know how attractive this job is to outsiders.

He did an excellent job at Shelbyville.  Would be a great choice for them.

Another District 7-AAA coaching change that was rather surprising: Steve Wilder retired from coaching the Rockvale program to focus on his hitting facility in Manchester, so Falon Catalano has been promoted to head coach. That means she had to step down as volleyball head coach, where she will be replaced by Cody Burton.

So, reviving a topic that hasn't had a post in over a year to say that Shawn DiGianfelice has, shockingly, stepped away from the LaVergne coaching position after just one season to teach special education at Rock Springs Middle. Jessica Hampton is now the head softball coach at LaVergne. DiGianfelice had big plans to try and make LaVergne a contender, with developing pitching being a top priority. Wonder what happened?

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
