Any word on what's going on at St. X? Are they narrowing it down? Has it been filled, just not made public yet? Seems like this one would have been an easy quick fill.
They just named their coach today. The returning players and students got to meet him. Its Don DiGiacomo.Any word on what's going on at St. X? Are they narrowing it down? Has it been filled, just not made public yet? Seems like this one would have been an easy quick fill.
It took HOW many weeks to come up with a guy who is already in the building and who they know incredibly well? The “exhaustive search”, as their own release described, put them well behind with fall workouts and the like. Doesn’t seem to make much sense.They just named their coach today.

Sorry. The phrasing they used was “extensive search”.It took HOW many weeks to come up with a guy who is already in the building and who they know incredibly well?

Fuzz!They just named their coach today. The returning players and students got to meet him. Its Don DiGiacomo.
Sounds to me like X pushed very hard for the Badin Baseball Coach. When they couldn’t convince him to come to X they went with an obviously reliable,quality internal guy. Kind of surprised, thought they would go with a younger but
If that was the course of action, St X got a blessing in disguise by being told no. That doesn’t explain how it takes 7+ weeks to hire a guy who was in the building the whole time. If you approach a guy and he turns you down, maybe you make one more run at him, but when you take this long and it’s the last day of September before you make a hire, you’re losing ground to Elder, Moeller, Mason, etc., who are no doubt having fall workouts for those athletes not playing fall sports. That’s not the path that’s led St. X to three of the last five GCL South titles.Sounds to me like X pushed very hard for the Badin Baseball Coach.

I don't think they made much of a push at the Badin coach. Most know that Moeller is the class of the GCL South and until you rack up some state titles or at least play for one you really haven't accomplished much.

You actually think St. X Baseball hasn’t been having any Fall Workouts? If they really haven’t I would consider that to be an Athletic Dept problem.If that was the course of action, St X got a blessing in disguise by being told no.

Do you know that they have? I don’t know either way, but I don’t know who would have been running them if they were occurring at this point. I would agree it’s a problem if not.You actually think St. X Baseball hasn’t been having any Fall Workouts? If they really haven’t I would consider that to be an Athletic Dept problem.
If they have had someone in the building and not having Fall Baseball workouts the AD or Assistant AD should be Fired. That’s the ultimate disservice to the kids. I don’t believe the St. X Athletic Department is that incompetent.Do you know that they have?

I agree it’s a disservice to the kids if they haven’t been having fall workouts. But who would be leading those workouts? The former coach resigned almost two months ago. The current coach wasn’t on the previous staff, didn’t have the job until two days ago, and has been busy coaching a fall sport. So who would have been leading the workouts, especially with no direction from a head coach?If they have had someone in the building and not having Fall Baseball workouts the AD or Assistant AD should be Fired.

That sounds terrible. Are they going to hire one of Huey's asst coaches?Sounds like St X is a cluster, but I guarantee you it isn't as big as the humpty dance they are doing at jerome! Let a hall of famer go two days before school for doing basically nothing, to still not have a coach hired. Shoot, I don't think there is anyone left that hasn't pulled their name out after they meet that administration. All that fall ball and 4 or 6 man's whatever it is now, missed. Shows you how much the country club thinks of it.
Last I heard, the one assistant was only one left, not sure why the need to interview one guy for a fourth and fifth round... I mean it has been like two months - what is the hold up?That sounds terrible. Are they going to hire one of Huey's asst coaches?
A whole new meaning to “daddy ball?”Heard tonight that Craig Krenzel may be taking over at Dublin Jerome?
Is it a principal or parent issue? This wouldn’t be the first time for both.And the latest ICYMI, everyone pulled their name out apparently except for the one varsity assistant, Sealy. (sp?) Then they made him go through the final two rounds by himself with no competitors, one with players interviewing him and one with finally the principle. In the last one, they told him he wasnt their guy and opened it all back up agin! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, someone needs to hold them accountable for this entire whack job! Where do these dads get off thinking they run entire districts and its my way or else? Leave if you dont like it Jack... Absolutely obliterated a competitive strong program off the map. At least my YeOldTW team allowed Olsen to figure it out and get the right people in to help.

They did the same thing with the football coach. The whole community interviewing the candidates. Sad timesI know! It’s apparent that the kids and parents want to run that place. Fire coaches like they’re candy. Feel bad for the kids that want to play. Met Heuy at several umpire clinics, stand up guy, Shame what’s happening there.
The guy X hired has been an assistant baseball coach for X off and on for years. In fact, one might say that he was the secret sauce for X when they were good. But he got out of it when they hired the guy that came from Fenwick. He then went on to help coach the swimming team. He knew nothing about swimming but learned. I have a lot more confidence in this guy than the last two but the key will be if he establishes a program like Moeller, Badin and Mason or does he just run a team?If they have had someone in the building and not having Fall Baseball workouts the AD or Assistant AD should be Fired. That’s the ultimate disservice to the kids. I don’t believe the St. X Athletic Department is that incompetent.
