Just one winning season in his five years there. Is this a good job? By CMAC standards or otherwise?

CPS schools all depend on how well you can keep your talent at your particular school. There IS a lot of talent that theoretically should be going to Withrow, but you have to work to keep it.

So it was not Coach Minor's choice to leave NCH?
I've heard he stepped down and I've heard the AD wanted to go a different direction. I don't think people in the community really liked him so I'm sure they heard enough complaining and didn't see enough wins to justify keeping him around. They probably want to play transfer portal AAU ball just like most teams in the city.
 
Per the OHSAA jobs portal, Clermont Northeastern is looking for a coach to replace Cory Moore.

Maybe he was overachieving with what he was working with.

I don't know. But he's a heck of a coach.

Looks like they released their girls coach too
Sure maybe BUT also kids didn't want to play for him and kids around the area are different schools NCH will be back especially in the MVC White with a new coach . Minor is a good guy but he lost the kids players and community .
 
Shannon didn't step down, he was let go. As an NCH grad and former player on the 1989 state runner up team, those are facts. Regardless of who liked him or who didn't, he wasn't winning enough over the last handful of years. Is what it is. And as a white male, I'm in full agreement that a black coach is the best option at this point in time. Preferably one who has area connections to keep the NCH kids in NCH. They get pilfered all the time, in every sport.

Its going to happen NCH has a clear vision for what they want

Not many jobs bigger than Mason. Be interesting to see who goes for this.

Surprised that a few Mason parents got their way. Toohey deserved better. Says a lot about their admin.

I heard he stepped down. Maybe he felt the pressure? Mason is a tough job with many dynamics. Their next hire is critical in the direction they want the program to go.

So qualified white coaches need not apply? That might be one of the most racist things I've ever read on Yappi. Should schools like CNE or McNick only look for white coaches as the best option?

No he didn’t deserve better. Alienated a lot of people and had too close of a relationship with the superintendent. A lot of conflict among parents and administration there, and the administration is not in the right.
 
Per the CPS Consortium, Walnut Hills is looking for a coach to replace Stu Holt. Thanks to @Girls hoops fan for the original scoop on the posting!

I have been hearing this so far:

Withrow - Interviews start this week. This job is Mike Pilgrim's if he wants it. I hear he is interviewing.

Mason - CJ Fleming will be the head coach at Mason.

Walnut Hills - They're staying in CPS for this hire. It will be Black at Aiken or Stokes at Western Hills.
 
I would think he is the top candidate. I could see Rob Reis at Loveland as well or them making a run at CJ Fleming.
If I’m Kerr, Reis, or any other coach in the area I wouldn’t touch this job. Richard’s “retiring” in July with 399 wins and Toohey “stepping away” after being hand picked as his replacement with the job opening so late. Sounds like a bigger problem than X’s and O’s And Jimmy and Joes.
