Nate Hillerich? Yeah, no way in Hades.
But would certainly be interesting, and he'd be next-door to his alma mater. Sherlock Hillerich occupying the former lair of the evil Professor Mauroarty? Ironic.
From what I could gather, the job was turned down by their top two candidates, for various reasons. They had an internal candidate, but I’m not sure what happened with him. After their top two guys didn’t work out, they opened the job up again
Hearing through the community they have come down to 2 applicants. We haven't heard any names, but hearing someone should be announced this week.
Not sure but you need to look at where he has coached. Not exactly the hotbed of high school football. I think you need to look at how he ran his program and if they improved over time. I know JK personally but have no idea if this rumor is true. I like his toughness and competitiveness. I also think he can get a good coaching staff to join him.
At least there are names now and people actually interested in this job.
Not sure why they are limiting themselves to coaches with Pickerington ties. Canal has a lot to work with in my opinion.
Because people who are paid to think on these matters within CW schools think like it is 2011 and not 2021. They think CW and Pickerington are similar, because of the common trajectory of being once-small farm schools turned big suburban schools. Because they're neighbors. Because there is turf between the two districts. That because there are similarities, however vague and facile they may be really be, that Pickerington is the example to follow.
I think there is something to be said for having a coach that has experience coaching the demographic of the school that is looking for a coach. For example, not sure I would hire a coach from Centerburg to go coach at Eastmore. Coach Sharrett is a unique individual and one of the few that can pretty much coach whatever he has. Not a big fan of Hellerich or any of their assistants for that matter. Nobody has done so little with so much talent. No discipline on or off the field and no loyalty to the players that come up through his program. But he does have the hype machine on full go non stop. He definitely wins a Twitter championship every season. Based on his Twitter feed you would think he coaches at Central rather than North.
Hey, pretty sure Hartley hired a coach from Centerburg about 12 years ago. Seemed to work out for them! I kid -- I know the comparison of BH to Eastmoor isn't perfect, and it's pedantic to take it too literally. Just busting your chops there, bro.
100% agree.
Also agreed. Central's got the better Twitter game, anyways. Especially the hoops account!
Very glad the district I live in wants to be something we aren’t, and will never be.
You talking about Canal, or B-C? LOL. No judgement. I'm sure you can appreciate the irony. I don't usually Yappi-and-drive, but when I do I make sure it's on Winchester Road.
Canal.
