The admin and the facilities are an absolute joke. I am mad my taxes pay for it. if the principal is still there by end of year i will be shocked, he is the cause of all of it. Its a 5+ year rebuild.
Kevin O'Neal has been named the Head Coach at his alma mater North Callaway. This will be his second time last the Thunderbird Head Coach. He got out in 2019 when he took over as A.D. and now he will wear both of those hats. GREAT HIRE for the Thunderbirds!
WHOOOOOOAAAAAA HOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! BOSKO LIKEY!!!! Im glad I was sitting down when I saw these two posts!!!!
Where does Benny Palmer go now? ANd how bad will Tonka be next year?
Has Park Hill South named a new coach yet? Would Palmer be a possibility there?

We are excited to announce Coach Palmer, @theCoach_Palmer, as the sixth head football coach at PHS! Welcome to Panther Nation and the family! #DEAL
Park Hill South is announcing Monday I believe. That would be my "best bet". WOOOOOOW what an offseason in the KC Northland!
Welp would pay for me to read the entire thread but my prediction appears to have been correct. The timing kinda gave this one away. NOW what is Tonka gonna do?

Tonka is gonna really struggle in 2022. Not much of a way around this whether Palmer had stayed or not.
@RawMeat werent you on some soap box regarding how this school is spelled or pronounced?
17-23 in 4 years at Tonka, I do not think they ever beat a team with a winning record!
For a program that had gone 3-27 for the three years before they hired him. The final three years: 16-14.

Given the circumstances, he was very successful at Tonka. He also ran a very good program... the kids will miss him.
That school has been open 50 years. I'm guessing Coach Palmer's winning percentage is higher than what it was for the 46 years prior to his arrival.
I don’t know about the last 50 years but in the last 15 years Tonka had a winning percentage of .44 and Benny had a .43. Pretty par for the course.
Looks like 8-man is the place to be if you want job stability & security...

With every passing year, it becomes more difficult to win there. The demographics north of the river continue to change in such a way that are very unkind to Winnetonka. Coach Palmer brought intangibles to the football program that can't be measured by wins and losses.
You are correct that Coach brought intangibles and ran a solid program. He will do fine at PHS as well. It’s getting harder to win at a lot of places due to changing demographics, recruiting and schedules. He had some really good players in the right positions and a favorable schedule the last few years.
They had very talented teams 2011-14 then a HUUUUUUUGE dip before Benny turned things around best he could there. Seeing them in person and online the past three years it was obvious they were very well coached and a unified team just lacked all around talent. As Homey says it is all about Northland demographics. I wish him nothing but success moving into a good situation (although graduation will hit them hard this spring) at PH South.
