To me the issue is the brass doesn't care enough to make OR what it could be and Rang is figuring it out. He can't even get his new coach in the building except a sub spot

I honestly don’t know, my friend. I don’t know what’s going on there. I’m completely out of the loop. Nobody wants OR football to succeed more than JG, so I couldn’t see him doing anything to keep that from happening. Maybe there aren’t any positions available? Those positions are at a premium, you know. And if all this is true that you’re saying (IF) it pretty much speaks for Coach Rang’s track record in his career. He’s gone from place to place, so it wouldn’t really surprise me if it is true, to be honest. I mean, he has zero ties to OR. I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now though.

To me I would think that, at least the perception of, OR football should be able to get any coach a position in the building if that is what that coach wants to do. Especially an alumni.

You’d think so, but on the other hand, I have no clue how any of that stuff works.

Sounds like OR will reap what they sow.

Reckon we’ll see.

I would hate to see Rang leave. Rang, Thomas, Kelly and others have been instrumental in helping many seniors achieve their goal of playing at the next level. It’s not unusual for coaches to look outside of their program when the higher ups are not accommodating.

If you have tenured teachers, you cannot just remove them to make a spot for a coach.  Most of those type moves happen in the offseason over the summer anyway.  If said coach cannot teach say a math or history open teaching spot and is only good for physical education then a person in that spot has to move out or your said coach doesn’t get that spot.  Usually how it works.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It ain’t as easy as hey, even though you’ve been a tenured teacher for however many years, we now have a guy that coaches football, which makes him more important than you, so you have to go since he’s a football coach!! Lol Life isn’t that simple.

You can create a spot for a guy that is at least a TA level until the next year

if we looked at recent history, we already knew they were unaccomadating.

What's the pay on that sort of thing?

Better than sub pay. You can look it up on their website. That plus a coaching supplement for football and baseball would be enough to get by on until august
