TheRedDevil1986 Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 This is a shock to say the least. Have to think they will reach out to Josh Jones or Lamar Brown for the opening first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to think they will reach out to Josh Jones or Lamar Brown for the opening first. It's not so easy just to go get a successful public-school coach in the middle of his career to come to a private school. Unless those guys have been in coaching as long as a Gary Rankin had, most of them need more years in the state retirement system to vest their pensions. Guys like Gary can take their pensions and double dip. Those 40 somethings can't afford to do that financially. If it were just about throwing a number at a coach, Grace Christian would have one of 3 or 4 40 something coaches with state resumes on their resumes as its head coach this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that for Lamar. With Josh Jones not being a school employee would that work the same? I am genuinely asking. I am not really sure how all that works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if in the classroom or driving a truck. Pension is based on years of service and % of highest years of pay. 1.5% for each year of service so 45% at 30 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
