Ryan Boyer leaves smith cotton to be new football coach/ AD at warsaw.

Ryan Boyer leaves smith cotton to be new football coach/ AD at warsaw.

Was he the HC at S-C?

 

[kaching]

With the departure of head football coach Ryan Boyer, Smith-Cotton enters another hiring process.

The Tigers replaced its head baseball, volleyball and boy’s basketball coach in 2016, and begin taking applications for its head football coach position Monday.

Boyer, who was 21-11 in three seasons as head coach and spent eight years total at Smith-Cotton, accepted the athletic director and head football coach at his alma mater, Warsaw High School.

Smith-Cotton Activities Director Rob Davis said the timing of these resignations have been less than ideal.

“We have lost several really good coaches over the last year, and it’s not for any particular reason,” Davis said. “We support them in what they decide to do … Like they say in the NFL, next man up.”

Assistant coaches Kyle Zimmerman and Chad Harter were promoted in April as head coach of baseball and volleyball, respectively.

Replacing head boy’s basketball coach Brian Scanlon proved more difficult, and Bill Barton was named as head boy’s coach in July.

Davis said coaching turnover is not an issue specific to Smith-Cotton. He referenced Hallsville baseball coach Barry Koeneke, who has coached there since Davis attended kindergarten in the Hallsville district.

“I don’t think this is a particular problem for us,” Davis said. “I think long gone are the days where you see a coach stick around an entire career … I just don’t think you see that anymore. It’s a more transient position these days.

“There’s just a lot of factors. (Boyer) has an opportunity to advance his career there.”

Boyer expressed his gratitude to Sedalia School District 200 in a statement.

“During our eight years in the school district, we have felt nothing but support and love,” Boyer said.

Boyer tipped Davis about his interest in the Warsaw position about a week preceding his resignation, as the two developed the 2017 football schedule.

Davis said Boyer had a good rapport with students, and was a leader in the Smith-Cotton athletics program.

“A lot of the kids that haven’t been involved with athletics, he makes those kids feel accepted and comfortable,” Davis said. “Those are the kind of kids he reaches out too. The kid that might otherwise fall by the wayside — he’s good at keeping them involved.

“He’s one of our leaders on the coaching staff. That part is really going to be missed.”

He will struggle..... he got out while he could. Could not compete with Class 2 and 3 schools. Didn't have a single Class 5 school on the schedule and was sub 500. Had lots of kids out, had some talent, but unable to capitalize due to poor fundamentals and lack of discipline.

 

[Nwalls]

I coached defense at Orchard Farm for 23 years we played smith cotton the coach
is a class act as was there fans and players. We are a class 3 school they had at least 80
kids we had 35 , they could of really demoralized us but he played a lot of kids. We where a decent
class 3 team but got feeling our oats lucky he was the coach with total class

What year was that? He coached 14,15,16

That was 2012 or 2013 I believe when Mark Johnson was there.

North County is open

North County currently IS NOT open. The local news outlet that reported this was incorrect and totally jumped the gun.

Agree, Coach Boyer is a very good coach and I think will do a great job in his hometown. Good luck to him and the Wildcats!

Different coach that year although Coach Boyer was an assistant.

He will do fine there. It will take some work to get that program back to where it once was. Hopefully they can find some talent where he can turn it around. He knows how to get kids out and I know he's glad to get back home.

I think he has a chance to make them competitive again since they have moved to a more appropriate conference for their programs. Although, back in the Morrow days, they had an amazing string of athletes and were a force in the Tri-County Conference.

[cr7707]

not sure why clemens would go to Oak Park, even tho he graduated from there. Literally a career killing move.

I am sure losing to Liberty was tough on the admin, they have always looked down on Liberty, it may be a couple years before they can compete with them.

We return 16 starters next year. Coach Clemens and the administration get along great. BTW, Liberty North is a very positive and supportive place to be in every regard and beyond football with a long list of successful players. Our own kids and our player's are friends, our wives are friends and we are friends.

LN will be a strong contender in C5 next year if they can avoid the major injuries that wrecked 2016. Personally cannot wait to see QB VanDyne in 2017 if he does indeed start as just a Soph.

I have heard from multiple people in district that it is going to be open and that it is very tight lipped right now... Pretty attractive job. Lots of young talent and they are putting the finishing touches on one heck of a field house/weightroom/athletics facility.

Coach Perk,

Are you teaching and coaching at Liberty North? If so I actually have a few questions for you.

 

[Northlandfootball]

LN will be a strong contender in C5 next year if they can avoid the major injuries that wrecked 2016. Personally cannot wait to see QB VanDyne in 2017 if he does indeed start as just a Soph.

I see no way the Clemons moves over the OP. Cannot out recruit Staley being the biggest issue. Being familiar with the LN programs but cannot speak to the specifics that Perk mentioned about staff relations but the Admin at LN is extremely supportive of all coaches as long as they are doing things the right way. Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Kernell are top notch guys. Have never heard of any negatives associated with the football program that would lend it self to admin and Clemons being at odds.
Now to Top's point - make it a point of seeing Van Dyne play next year - he has all the looks of a big time player.
