I know the guy personally. He was promised a job that never came to fruition. He was doing more bs red tape stuff instead of coaching at Lebo. Not being in the school was a detriment to the program.
probably don't have the talent... which is why Palko resigned and why Collodi resigned too
they should target somebody like Matt Humbert as long as they give him a job, I doubt he wants to go back to the days of losing to TJ and Aliquippa now that they are back in 4A so may as well play with the big boys and accept a new challenge
one thing that he said that stood out to me was he wasn't there to "recruit the hallways"
They could of had Kim N. when Bob retired. Blew it. There was an open assistant AD position that he applied to and he did not get it. That would have been a homerun! He is the real deal. Look what he did at Union already. Shows the committment to football. School board is only interested in woke agendas. I do not anticipate a big name honestly.
Actually they have some nice players coming up in all classes, some good size too. The problem is they can't keep pace with PCC and NA.
You need a phenomenal support system to pull it off if you want to be really good and you're not in the building.
Palko had a job created for him in the building. He taught 2 classes and the rest of the time was devoted to football.
esp at a "bigger school" cuz it's a massive operation, requiring lots of people- school "leadership" to "embrace" football in Pa? Sorry Soup, that's not common anymore in PA, imo. Pine-Richland, 5 years, barely "tolerated" the FB program. Now? The school leaders "kinda support it" but it's not easy- it's not "all roses"
I'd be shocked if Humbert is at BVA in 2 years. It won't be at Lebo though. Humbert is a football 1st guy. Lives/breathes it 24/7. Unless Lebo starts caring more about football instead of gender studies, then Matt will probably go elsewhere.
wow, i hope for his sake he stays at BV- not very many "football first schools" these days- and CM feels a little but like Hempfield, imo, maybe a "coach killer"
Was the DC at Lebo this past year.
Steel - I have heard another name that has the job at South Fayette and a good one with solid staff in place but don’t want to post out of respect until it’s officially announced. I will add that the cubert seems pretty bare there talent wise, not sure on overall numbers. Going to take little time to get then back to their old days when in the smaller classifications.
I heard another name too. I also heard the candidate pool was very small.
Playing devil's advocate, I've heard from some other head coaches that canon mac has underachieved considering the talent they've had the past few years. Most seem to think this job is going to open up sooner then later.
i do think Canon Mac should be better and there is potential at that school, but i think somebody like Matt Humbert with his resume should wait for an opening at a more traditional power school
Soup can chime in but I don’t remember any recent USC team being much more than hype.
I agree with that but all of those places seem relatively stable at the HC position.
New- I could be off a bit but her is what I remember…
Spieler is the new HC at SF.
seems like a good choice by SF, glad to hear about stability- will be interesting to see if SF can get back to the level they were a few years ago
