Coaching Changes 21

No ribs to boil today, Chris?
 
DeSoto was a very solid group especially those two SR brothers. Pushed KS 5A finalist Aquinas, too. All this stuff aside I would not be the least bit disappointed to see Minnick return to Kearney. The offense would be much better right out of the gate.
So another day and there still isn't announcement on the Kearney job. I thought it was being announced Monday and now were here. I'm thinking they either had 2nd thoughts on Minnick or he turned it down hoping for something better like a LSW, PHS or BS job.

If he turned it down, wouldn't they be just fine with going with Webb? If that's who the other candidate is. I could see Kearney giving Webb some time to tell Maryville family, UNLESS Minnick gave an excellent interview and they're brining both back for a second interview.

You assume all these guys want (and interviewed for) the job. That place is something of a train wreck right now.

How is it a train wreck? Still #1 Dynasty rating in Class 4, and other sports that are winning championships. (13 teams top 4 at state just in the past 4 years.) Good facilities, and top 10% in size in C4. Soon to be Junior and Soph class that destroyed everyone they played in football in their 9th grade seasons. Kind of a layup job, really. Coach Nickerson could win with all that going for him.

Agree on that, Joey. Everyone here raves about the Sophs in particular. The problem is how good all the neighbors have gotten. Been a long time since Clay/Platte county HSFB looked this good overall and that is with Staley being temporarily down.

Total crickets here. Hoping this all settles tomorrow..............

The Frosh team starting D gave up 6 points this season, and their O scored about 326. Better linemen in the Soph class. Better athletes in the Frosh class.

According to social media sources who would be likely to know, DeSmet will be looking for a new head football coach. [Edit: Confirmed by STL media.]

Offered to green and turned down and then offered and accepted by Blue.

This process reminds me of Mike Alden on the hunt for a basketball coach...thankfully Frank Haith (Joeyknows) isn't the end result. Blue was the easy choice - a good fit and it shouldn't have turned into a circus.

It is Minnick to K.
