Job Openings

 
We will continue see good coaches retire by choice or coaches be forced out of coaching by school circumstances on a regular basis.

The amount of time invested for the money received coaching and the constant drama of high school sports simply is not worth participating in. I’ve spoke to all of my grown kids coaches in the past year, each of them retired from coaching after 10+ years.

They love coaching, but they simply grew tired of putting up with school administration, parents and players. Coaches are now responsible for mental health, program culture, social media, out of season training just to name a few.

Most of their time is not spent preparing their team to be the best they can, but doing all the other extra things that don’t necessarily help a team improve.

The craziness of pro, college and club sports has slowly made its way into high school and many old school coaches simply do not want to put up with the drama.

My kids are now in their late 20s and none of them or their friends have any interest in coaching.

Schools and programs should expect to see coaches give it a try and not stick around very long.

Just look at the craziness of expectations in each of the different sports categories on yappi, it’s easy to see why sane people don’t Coach. Our obsessed sports culture is insane.

Another concern will also be having enough competent referees in the different sports, The choices are dwindling in this area. Due to crazy coaches and unruly player and parent behavior. It’s simply it’s not worth being a ref during this time either.

Ultimately, the positions will be filled, but many new coaches are going to come to the conclusion that it simply is not worth the time invested to be the head coach.

Galion is looking for a Head Varsity Volleyball Coach:

Galion, D5 NW District, is looking for a head varsity volleyball coach for the 25-26 Fall season. Interested candidates should email AD Matt Tyrrell at tyrrell.matt@galionschools.org with letter of interest and resume. Application deadline is January 30, 2025.
 
Loveland position is open.
On the surface that is a good job and the previous head coach had things headed in the right direction. Heard some of the parents were awful to deal with and the school administration didn't back the coach when he needed to discipline some of the players. You can't have an AD and Principal that won't stand up to the vocal minority. With the new divisional breakdown with Volleyball you can win a state title at Loveland but you need full support from the Administration.
 
Some hires announced recently in the Cincinnati area.
Milford- Marie Plitt
Loveland- Tina Collins
Lakota East- Matt Ellis

I guess getting fired at Centerville and Lebanon doesn't really matter. There were some rumors Milford and Loveland both talked to Jenny Case. Her daughter is done with College so maybe at some point she will be back at the HS level.
 
My guess is we will see Jeni Case on a high school sideline with Logan in the near future.

We have a few coaches in the area that move around every few years, that same story follows them, and then someone else hires them.

what HS will be so lucky to have Case and Case on the sidelines?

i don't understand these HS recycling coaches that have failed elsewhere. bring in new blood.

As far as new blood, I think post #9 in this thread says it best—simply not worth the effort or time for a lot. Some parents can be crazy and/or delusional.

And I’m probably pointing out the obvious, but most HS coaches are intertwined in the club scene. Heck, Case owns the club where Loveland’s new coach is employed—among others.
