Coaching Changes

[steelcurtain55.]

by "program builder" you mean recruiting right?


I bet he's the Mt. Lebanon coach after next season

Here's the thing about recruiting coming from somebody who has coached at 6 different HS's. Most "recruiting" is non-existent. 9/10x it's kids and parents who are moving their kids into a district whether it's for athletic intent or not.

Sure, some coaches actually recruit. Hell, the word on the street is Anthony Smith from Southmoreland will be at Seton LaSalle next season. Is there any coincidence with Storino having "QB School" at Seton every weekend that's open to anyone.

Unless Lebo's AD resigns or gets fired, I doubt Humbert is at Lebo next season. He's not going back into the classroom imho.

Tyler Ward just resigned from Bethlehem Catholic after taking a head coaching job at a school out of state. Ward came to Becahi from a high school in Alabama, but he’s a Lehigh alum, so there was an element of coming home. Still, Bethlehem Catholic is now looking for their fifth head coach in the last eight years.

Joe Bernard announced as new HC at Bethlehem Catholic.

speaking of Belle Vernon, they just won their first wpial title in basketball since 1978

their best player is Zion Moore who led the wpial in scoring last year and was 3rd this season

he transferred from my Ringgold Rams!!!!

You should step in and stop this nonsense

Looks like it was on the agenda for tonight's neshaminy school board meeting that Neshaminy will hire Nick Felus as the head coach for the football team.

Looks like they did go out and try to make a big hire.

Kevin Cooney had a post on this hire.

Penn Cambria is near Pittsburgh. Went 14-1 this season.

 

[Patton2Moscow]

Former QB Coach at Coatesville. He was HC at Altoona before they ran him out of town. Rebounded at Penn-Cambria garnered many Coach of the Year honors last season

Good to see them go outside and get an experienced head coach. Always nice to have some new blood in the league.

Skins!

He walks into a good situation. Strong returning nucleus off a 6-4 season: facilities, enormous school, roster size and tradition. This is not a turnaround; it's more a question of can they break back through to the top of the conference, and like all of District 1, can they keep enough players away from the privates?

 

[CAMoleskinner]

This could work out well. He seems to have been around and had success. There are also some local ties -- it would appear (via marriage) -- and reports are he will have a job in the school district (it seems he was teaching at Penn-Cambria). So if all of that is accurate it's a good thing.

Anyone with a pulse on D12 stuff? I know wood is filling out their staff. I saw Bonner lost their AHC to retirement, and did Imhotep hire an offensive coordinator yet? Would imagine they got a big applicant pool with the talent they have

Neshaminy hires new high school football coach to succeed Steve Wilmot

Former Penn Cambria high school football coach Nick Felus 'extremely excited' to take over at Neshaminy

Definitely a sleeping giant. Keep the boys away from the non-boundary schools and the program will right itself quickly.

How about an AD change…bucks I’m a little surprised that Hunt left CBW for Pennridge but I guess money talks! He earned it after getting the football hire right.

Yes, it's definitely a promotion with a nice $ bump. He's now the boss of the Pennridge HS AD. Henry lives up in Perkasie, coaches up there, and his son will eventually be playing at Pennridge HS, so a really good opportunity for him. Will be holding my breath to see if we get another football friendly AD.

 

[HSFB99]

Wow a demotion for the PR AD? I figured he left for another job. I guess they’ve been a mess, so I can’t say I’m shocked. I wonder if any current West coaches will be candidates? I assume the district would not allow them to be a coach & AD…times have changed.

Not demoted, Henry is the Director of Athletics and Activities for the district from 6th - 12th grades, so the HS AD and MS ADs report to him. It looks like it's a new position? Not sure if they would let an AD coach at West, which is a shame... could be a great way to lock in Rowan long term.

 

[HSFB99]

I figured that regarding West. Even if they locked one of his great assistants (like the OL coach) that’d be a great deal.

Hunt is no loss. The former AD was also a west guy who did not know much. Girls' sports at PR are all pretty good. Boys transfer to private schools. 6 on Lasalle football team, others at various private schools including faith Christian, LC.
