The
There's 2 types of AD's now.
1) Career educators who progressively work their way up the ladder
2) non teachers/Sports admin majors who have a HARD time getting into the job as an AD because it's really hard to have someone take a chance on you when you havent worked with HS sports and dealt with parents as a coach and teacher for a decade+.
It's just not the same. If you coach and teach for 10-15 years before becoming an AD, i think you have a distinct advantage. Without that experience, you just don't know what you're getting into. And I think those folks without experience are the ones getting these "ABC" positions, that pay crap; because the highly qualified wont take a job that hectic and crazy for peanuts.
IMagne if you had a guy like Scott Kaufman(LW) or Chris Newtown(Anderson), etc at CPS...things would change really fast in perception of these schools becaise things would be done right and well. CPS takes the cheap route for AD's and are paying for it
