Story behind that?
Canal Winchester and Bloom-Carroll are rivals. The districts border each other, with common bleed-over between the two lines (namely open-enrollment into BC.) Prior to Canal’s growth into the D2 classification, the schools competed in the same league (MSL-Buckeye) for 50 years and were within 20% of the other in enrollment until 2009-10.

Ya, interesting hire for sure. Wonder who all was interested in the job because this seems like an "out there" hire.
Mauro spent a few years at Carrollton in the not-too-distant past, but even that feels like a bustling metropolis compared to this next coaching stop.
Lost 16 seniors this year, many who were 3 year starters. Also not a ton of talent in the high school right now.
W/L record not being “special?”
Totally agree...seems like he has done well at most places
Because if he stays for only 2 years like his track record has shown, a coaching carousel of 3 people in 4 years can absolutely devastate a small school program like Fairview's that just lost a ton of senior talent. They're already going to be in rebuilding mode after losing 15 seniors, if this guy doesn't stay long term then whoever comes in after him will have to restart from scratch.
You don't owe your employer anything other than doing your best to fulfill the terms of your contract. I'm sure Mauro has every intention to work hard and do his best at Fairview as he seems very motivated to be back in Ohio. Did they offer him a lifetime, long-term contract? I'm sure it's just your standard coaching agreement. If he has success and stays at Fairview long-term, then great. Mutually beneficial. If he doesn't stay there forever, then who cares. That's life. Coaches change locations for personal and professional reasons all of the time and both Mauro and Fairview will be fine. The world won't come crashing down. Besides, nothing you're saying is breaking news. The AD, principal, and school board were all well aware of his multiple stops. And they hired him anyways.
Where did I say that he was required to stay long term or that he owed it to the school? Football coaches at every public school in Ohio are on yearly contracts and either the school or the coach can choose to not renew any given year. Administrations that are concerned about long term success should pick from candidates that they believe are in it for the long haul. You asked why people are knocking the hire and I gave you an answer based on his clear history of bouncing between schools every 3-4 years with the exception of his time at Massillon Jackson. That would be a massive red flag if I was in Fairview, especially if an attractive program towards Cleveland and his family, (which he already mentioned as his motivation for coming back to Ohio) has an opening in the near future.
I asked a question. You answered. I found your answer to be unsatisfactory. Your posts are largely stuck on speculating "if this, then that."
God forbid anyone have some loyalty.
So now we aren't just talking about the Fairview program possibly being "devastated" by this hire, we're also talking about betrayal. Jeez louise y'all are dramatic. Give me a break with that holier than thou nonsense. My two cents are that if you complete your one year contract and change jobs, or change jobs after serving your best for 2-3 years at a school... that isn't disloyal. That's fulfilling your terms of your contract. People change jobs all the time and yet we still function as a society. If any football program or business falls apart because one person in your organization left, well, your organization wasn't very strong to begin with.
